Click on the link, some really interesting stuff. Something that I had always overlooked was that this is Krivsky's last guranteed year. He has a mutual option after this year. If Bob wants to get out of the deal, he can. I'm sure there is a buyout involved, but Bob does have an out.
Just something I ofund interesting.
