It would appear that ST and MM have designs on a US venture.

If this is true then the development of him standing down was always in their plan.

It was part of the Jets plan.

So what's been achieved with ST standing in a few months?

Truthly, very little if the US reports are to be believed. He was always going to at some stage anyway.

They are still in control of events and will still control the club for the foreseeable.
