Of course he now works for Dirk’s foundation, but interesting nonetheless. If we’re to believe how few people were consulted/made aware of the trade, I imagine there must be some divide amongst employees who are now greatly impacted by Nico’s decision
My guess would be the vast majority (if not everyone outside of Nico/Dumont/Adelsons) are not happy right now. Season ticket refunds, subscription fees down, lower sales, etc are going to potentially impact them financially. I can't imagine my frustration level if I was both a fan AND had to work for the organization.
For a guy that supposedly has a strength in relationships Nico really REALLY didn't understand the relationship the fans and city had with Luka. Which is strange since it seems so obvious to everyone else.
