I ruled that out because, as you suggest, it makes no sense.
I've decided that He's not saying anything simply because He can't, He's not allowed to. His "decision", whatever it is, will, I think, have serious consequences for the club. I'm thinking He can't say what it is because of its momentous nature demanding that the shareholders and our major financial backers be told first. Of course, once they know, and the players know, everybody will know.
As for the team, our form isn't great. The Cup will take care of itself, of course; the players will always want to go to Wembley and win regardless. Champions League football next season is far from certain though so they presumably want as little distractions as possible right now. But He's saying next season doesn't matter at the moment, we need to prepare for, and win, our next game(s), most importantly.
Anyway, to me, the only way this "standoff" makes any sense at all is if He *is* going to be around next season, but *not* as manager. Nobody wants Him seemingly hounded out of the club so this way deals with that possibility too. I reckon if we'd nailed a top four finish on already, He'd have announced His decision by now.
Lots of wild guessing there obviously.

Complete narcissist and megalomanic. Off he can jolly well ****.
