Shumway Steps Down

Ok, don’t get too crazy with your tin foil hattery.  Yes, Shummer resigned but that doesn’t automatically mean the team folds and moves to East Bumblefut. Several scenarios come to mind in light of the fact that TGO recently divulged that he has met with several interested parties about investment/ownership in the team.

1) Shummer could be stepping aside to allow the new investor/owner to become the CEO

2) Shummer could be stepping aside to pave the way for a new investor/owner to appoint his own CEO (deal might be contingent on new guy having some controls n place)

3) Shummer could be needed in other areas of Moyes business now that he (moyes) has begun restructuring his holdings and Shummer has gotten the Yotes on the way to solving their issues (finally). With a post season run in sight (barring any implosions) round 1 of a whiteout would go a looong way to helping not only the immediate $$ flow, but future corp and peon butts in seats $$ flow.

Those are just a few scenarios that come off the top of my head. Moyes and the league and any potential partner(s) owners don’t need a middle man to get a deal done so Shummer may actually be in the way in this one.

Any way you slice this one it could be a very good thing…. hmmm or very bad but I refuse to dwell on the dark side.
