But, if the concern is really for Munro and not just a stall until summer, then a decision should be reached as soon as possible, instead of dragging Munro through accusations and meetings for another month. And if the committee is at all concerned about the soccer team, it will realize that the longer it delays a decision, the more hostilities will intensify between...
