You may well be right. Unfortunately, due to some of the 'grey areas' you've identified we may well have reached a point where either side are entrenched in their own version/interpretation of their agreement. Assuming your description has a semblance of truth, it's peculiar that a contingency wasn't built into this agreement allowing for an extended stay in Division 1, or even relegation to Division 2, to possibly happen. However, it seems that there was an expectation that an immediate return to the Championship was to happen. If so, a tad naive in my book, as planning for a variety of eventualities would have made sense.
So, we have two owners, both with strong character, and at least one of whom has been reluctant to communicate with the supporters. Silence in this case seems to have given rise to suspicion about intentions. Not surprising in my view, but I'm surprised that in all of this it's not been obvious that communicating transparently would be viewed as a positive. As things stand, all that remains is silence. We, the supporters that is, are none the wiser, and all the while we have the appearance of our manager (remember him, you know, the guy who took us to the Championship at the first attempt?) contemplating his future because our owners seem to consider silence as their preferred option. Madness in my book, but capable ownership can be a rare thing in professional football and we appear to have two people who consider that doing the least, in terms of communicating regularly, to be their best option.
