It would be a mistake to assume that the policy was not put into place for a good and understandable reason; a further mistake to assume that these conversations have not happened for the past decade and will not continue to happen; it would equally be a mistake to assume that just because the team faces a larger fundraising gap this policy is at all likely to change.
