    Wait a minute! Wasn’t it just a couple of months ago that Murstein was telling reporters that The King would make the decisions and run the business and he (Murstein) was going to bring the necessary funds to keep it all afloat and that was all. Now the season hasn’t even begun and he’s picking the drivers he wants The King to hire? Looks to me that King is gonna have more trouble with partners. I would hate to see that, he deserves better.
