What I'm hearing is that Clark wants to fire Pioli, but the other Hunt family board members won't allow it because it'd cost them too much for the buyout...or more than they're willing to spend I guess...
Hell, he should just not pay Pioli.....kinda like what they're currently doing to Haley

That's my speculation. They secretly signed him to an extension in the offseason and now they'd have to pay him a mountain of money. So, Clark hopes that Pioli will resign, or they negotiate a compromise severance package.

Unless there's some kind of goofy rules in the trust, Clark as CEO has the power to hire and fire whoever he wants. I said goofy rules because boards normally only concern themselves with the CEO, moy underlings. Pioli's contract is somewhere around $5M a year. Since he has another year on his contract and the remainder of this year, figure that would cost $6.825M. What will it cost in lost ticket sales next year, concessions and merchandise this year and next?

Yeah both of those rumors have been out there for at least a month.

Can't he figure out it is gone either way? 8 to 10 games of half full Arrowhead vs renewed energy by a fan base he knows is there to fill it every home game if he puts a good product in front of said fan base. Ticket sales, parking, concessions, Chiefs merchandise sales, etc., probably easily offsets buyout of Pioli.

So, has there been a Pioli sighting at Arrowhead lately?
