You understand that one way or another, SANZAAR and the ARU were going to cut a team in Oz. With or without Mr Twiggy.
The Force were the only team that could be cut legally. All other Oz teams were legally protected by their licence.
You need to stop thinking that this was a case of the ARU picking the Force to spite Twiggy. Twiggy's money made no difference.
But, people seem to be stuck in this circular argument, that the Force were a better proposition than the Rebels. Yep, they probably were, but where was their licence again? Oh, yes, that's right. In the ARU's pocket.
Getting all angry at Clyne for carrying out the job set for him by SANZAAR and agreed by the ARU is a bit silly. By all means challenge the process, but not the ending; that was a foregone conclusion.
Mate you just don't get it do you.
In case you haven't read the previous info. The Force only sold the licence to the ARU because the ARU spun their bullshit about wanting to eventually centralise all team licences through the ARU. This was a test case which would then be sold to the other 4 teams as the way to go.
The Force preference was to get a loan from the ARU like all the other teams had in the past and pay it back. The point of the Alliance Agreement between the Force and ARU was to put in place some guarantees for the future whilst the ARU held the licence. The Force should and wanted to buy the licence back and were declined.
The whole approach by the ARU to have the Force sell their licence rather than just providing them a loan just reeks of a premeditated plan to get rid of the Force. Why instead of pumping millions of dollars into the Rebels with loans weren't they offered the same deal. They were in financial problems way before the Force.
