For the record I didn’t mean to imply I believe Khan shoved Bradley down Dave’s throat or gave him an ultimatum.

Probably closer to as they went through the interview process, they narrowed down their targets, and while there may have been someone Dave slightly preferred, he was fine with Gus...and could tell Khan was smitten by his energy/personality, and that Gus was Khan’s preferred target when they compared their impressions. The fact that he already knew he was looking at probably a rough couple years to start, and with a very young/impressionable roster, further cemented Gus as a perceived ‘fit’.

I don’t know why HauntingRaven is so fixated on my post, which I thought was pretty mild endorsement at best of Dave. I said in the second sentence the results haven’t been good enough given what he’s had as capital.
