Today I had a phone call from someone I work with who had been talking to Ricki's agent, which I'm sure some of the senior YF members know who I'm referring too, and I was told that Ricki has been given an ultimatum by the board today: get sacked or resign and move upstairs.
This will be announced tomorrow (Tuesday) and am not sure if it'll be immediate or at the end of the season, so can't help you there.
Believe me if you wish, but my colleague who met Ricki's agent is also about to sign to be on his books too, so has credit.
