Theegala expressed his disappointment by saying, “Just craziness, I mean I’m sure there’s a reason for it. But it’s not going to be a good enough reason for the utter lack of communication. I mean how are the top 10 players in the world finding out on Twitter. But I’m biting my tongue til there’s more stuff we hear. No way players are going to be okay with this.”
Theegala continued by expressing his dissatisfaction over the lack of a straight and clear communication approach and highlighting the significance of an open discussion and open information flow in making such important decisions.
Although Theegala acknowledged that there might be motivations for the merger, he insisted that the existing level of communication was unlikely to placate the players, raising the possibility of a conflict between their expectations and the way the news was presented.
