I actually don’t think this drama was what they wanted at all, in fact I don’t think they’ve ever dealt with public push back like this.

As far as communication, yes that would have been great before hand.. but the only people who would have been able to make that happen would have been those privy to the sale.. so Tron, Ned and Eli. I guess they felt it wasn’t needed.

As far as reactions and this drama.. imo they thought they could just come in and take over, do as they wish.. etc. Perhaps with better communication (and less hostile announcements) this could have gone differently.. but I do not think this Drama is what they wanted in the slightest tbh
