The MGT team is leaving, allegedly, next MAY. This is not "take your job and shuv it" This is SIX MONTHS NOTICE to bully the government into accepting the "management buyout proposal" or else be faced with Willies gang in "opposition", or the threat thereof..
Why this theory? By attacking, attacking and attacking again they have achieved many of their goals with staff, but not all. They will try everything to win. This is exactly what I would expect from WW and his crew.
That said, it might work for them. Time will tell.
