Actually, I think he ought to leave three weeks on Tuesday, it'll lessen the FIA's embarrasment. :p :
If he is to go, do it now, don't let it drag on like a badly written Coronation Street storyline! ;)
Hmmm, if we play our cards right, Max could be cast as Ken's sleazy brother.Quote:

"I don't want to see that. I've been a friend of Max for 40 years. I would hate to see him go in this way after all he has done for the sport."
Now, who would call those people friends?!Quote:
Ecclestone emphasized that Mosley will not be able to carry his job any further because his reputation has been tarnished. And the Briton revealed even among friends, Mosley is being shunned.
Does Bernie know what "friend" means? I highly doubt it, as it was always clear that his only friend is "money".
Well, he is being punished for the wrong reasons and his "40 year long friend" is backstabbing him most instead of standing by him when he needs support! Why is that?!Quote:
"Max is being punished for the wrong reasons. He has done a first-class job as president. Like all of us he has made some mistakes but 90 per cent of the decisions he has taken have been to the benefit of all. He deserves to be remembered for all the positive work he has done, not for an expose in a tabloid newspaper.
This is why:
Bernie is afraid that Max gets the vote and stays, and he isn't anymore Bernie's friend after all that happened.Quote:
"That is why he should announce his decision to resign now and not go through with a vote of confidence. That is not in his best interests, the FIA's or the sport's."
I'm almost sure that Bernie is one of those who helped catch Max with his pants down.

Bernie says he should go for this reason , yet he states clearly that he has done a "first class job" .
"He's being punished for the wrong reasons" .
Bernie's reasoning leaves something to be desired .
Unless he feels that Max should go for some other reason . What about that other 10% of decisions that have not "been to the benefit of all " . Is that reason enough ?
Is that a positive enough way to go ?
Is it reasonably positive , or positively reasonable ?
He should go because of the expose , but nobody should remember that he went because of the expose , because that wouldn't be a positive way to remember all his 90% positive deeds .
Don't ask for the vote , Max , says Bernard , and we can sit down and hash this ol' agreement out before you go in the fall .
Is that the compromise ?
You're embarassing , but we'll work with you , until we get an agreement we like . That "we" , by the way , means "me" .
You're not fit to be seen with , but we'll sit with you and ask you to perform a role that we see you unfit to continue . That is , until we get the important bits worked out . Then you can pi$$ off .
No pressure , you understand . It's just that you'll lose your plum position a year early . That's all .
If ever there was a good time to say this.....Quote:

And there were also reports, at the Turkish GP I think, that Bernie was trying to get all the F1 teams to sign a petition asking Max to leave. There were however 3 teams who refused to do so.
And he calls himself a "friend", the little $€£&$€£ !

I thought the real reason was the reason he gave: "My wife had invited Max to her birthday party, (but) she was told to ask Max not to appear because of the embarrassment it might cause to a number of corporate guests." :rolleyes: :mad:
