Ravenshurst Out of a Job; Shell Oil Looking for Skipper Monday, March 26th , 2063 Weeks of speculation were officially ended today when it was announced that Damien Ravenshurst has been dismissed as the manager of the Shell Oil Royals. "I can't really say I'm surprised. I saw this coming for a while, but I guess there was nothing much I could really do to prevent it," Damien Ravenshurst told BNN. "It's not easy to manage when every decision you make is closely scrutinized and criticized, but that's what I dealt with." A team official said the firing was the end result of "major and irreconcilable differences of opinion" between Ravenshurst and the front office. When pressed for more information, Shell Oil general manager skirted the issue. "We're not going to get into that right now. It's not really important why he was fired -- we're just going in a different direction," he said. BNN originally reported Ravenshurst's tenure with the club was in jeopardy three weeks ago, which team officials at the time dismissed as "just a rumor." |
