I have no doubt shanahan is a control freak. But the way the sound of it seemed like the contract negotiation asking for a new direction in money or terms (less control) was not tabled early and just based on that would have put shanahan up against a self imposed deadline where dubas and agent could demand too much and get away with it against the July 1st backdrop, so he played their negotiation with the ultimate trump card. At the same time the guy is the president and if it’s run by a Corp those lines or communication are completely normal as are those personalities. So I don’t think either side is wrong in the sense of wanting more autonomy but how they went about doing it was a problem.
