I know this isn't exactly Received Opinion, but - they're kind of right, aren't they?

I mean, we poached their manager. No idea what the punishment for that is, or whether we've offered generous compensation and they're being greedy (altho going by McNally's track record I'd guess that's unlikely).

But fundamentally, we're in the wrong and they're in the right, right?
