I fear that as well, but I think you're going to see a massive revolt in the season ticket base if this team fails in the all too spectacular way it is. Make no mistake, COVID is something that could really change people's perspective on spending. When they consider the potential of spending money on season tickets of another Treliving/Ward combination, I have pretty high confidence the decision to renew will be to the negative. At that point the owners will be forced to bite the bullet. The fans will determine the fate of both of these bozos and it will start with flagging viewership on the broadcasts for the rest of the season, then be hammered home when season ticket renewals begin to be passed up or cancelled early.
