They absolutely fucked up. You don't reach an agreement and then be like, oh by the way will you accept this clause that you surely won't like? It's a bullshit thing to do and also dumb because they should have found out way up front if it was acceptable. That way, you have the ability to have a plan in place ahead of time instead of scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute. There's a reason this team hasn't won jack shit in two and a half frigging decades and this level of incompetence is emblematic of that. Fuck this team. I'm beyond sick of this shit.
