I don’t see how anyone can blame Ambrosie. He’s been a fine commish.
Why is anyone taking Ramsay at face value? You don’t think the PA has something to gain?

I think the PA is upset with Ambrosie because he is not including them in important conversations. The initial proposal that Ambrosie did to the House of Commons asking for 30 million initially and potentially up to 150 million was done without player consultation. Having a player rep like Ramsay or Elimimian alongside Ambrosie presenting a united front would have sent a strong message, in my opinion. There are also reports that the House of Commons members felt Ambrosie wasn't very well prepared for the meeting.
I also think players are frustrated because Ambrosie hasn't been very decisive. Commissioners of other leagues such as the NHL, NBA, MLS are moving forward with plans to either complete or start their season and all we've heard from Ambrosie is crickets. Players understandably want to know when a decision is going to be made.
