The court case is going on for 10 days with the next case timetabled for February - according to the other thread. I doubt any of the key decision makers will be tied up in attending court. It may eventually have an impact on club finances, but not for a long time.

My guess is that the board/Choo/Dalman are either negotiating a severance deal with Mick and/or firming up and starting discussions with a shortlist of potential replacements. The only other explanation is that they don't know what to do, are treading water, and along with Mick somehow hope that 5 centre backs will eventually turn out to be an inspired innovation that will blow Fulham away!
My feeling is that they may not have wanted to make such a major announcement at the start of what was always likely to be an emotional trial.
Maybe tomorrow......
