The Blackcats rumor is that Venables will be the next HC. He never said anything about HCIW.
It's the donors that are talking right now. What I'm guessing, based on that, is that Currie and the donors may be having one dialog, and Bill is doing his own thing.
No matter what happens, I doubt that this is going to end cleanly and simply with Currie and Bill on the same page.
