Actually, in forgetting the motives PP may have, do you not think he is spot on? Are you not surprised that here we sit, some twelve days after his conviction was confirmed and as yet no public announcement from either the board or more logically DN has been released?
Not suggesting what he should say, that's his business, but news 'broke' Friday and the silence, whether it be to sack him or support him is as they say deafening. Personally, I think he will stay, which considering the circumstances may or may not sit well with some, but to publicaly ignore it does no more than sweep it under the carpet. The quicker DN makes a Statement the quicker the issue will move on and go away
