With my conspiracy hat on, I wonder if this could be one of the first, seemingly innocuous, steps in an upcoming ownership change? Maybe this Rolf fella ("Katharina's right hand man") is starting to pull together a takeover consortium (on behalf of Katharina) hence needing to step down to avoid a conflict of interest, or some such...?
One would assume Dragan's wealth generating capabilities have taken a hit following his ousting from the company he founded (United Group)...???... Which could / would impact his ability to continue to fund a football club, especially one on the cusp of a potential return to the premier league...?
Probably a load of nonsense from yours truly, for a change, but it's in my DNA to ponder such things...!
(That said, I've been on this forum long enough, and through several takeovers, to know that it's often the small, seemingly inconsequential activities, that end up being a clue to something bigger on the horizon... Anyone for a chilled Remi Martin...? #helpmerhonda )
