In that case they can give him some money to go away or they can try to give him nothing and hope he doesn't sue. The holdup is due to this. I'd guess they're figuring out a mutually agreeable amount for Bill to walk away and not keep this in the news.

This pretty much exactly what I just said. The "we" in "we can't fire him" is the general public. The Flames can fire him.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
