Re: The buck stops here

They both share the fault.

Wallace for not being willing to bring the team back roughly as was - 
minus Rogers and say my hands were tied.   He tried to be the good 
company man and compounded that with amazingly stupid basketball 
decision in taking on Baker and crippling us cap wise for the future.

Gaston is guilty exactly as BSG said he was - he wanted the short term 
savings of keeping the payroll under x as he was prepping for the sale.
