News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Iger could be a salesman. Supporting Chapek to take over and convinced the Board to buy into it to?

Iger controls the board.

We know what happened in 2/2020…Any one not acknowledging it at this point must also be into the “magic bean of the month club”

101% wholly unqualified to be an exec…let alone CEO

…Let us never forget


But in the wash anyone could see that. So Who really is to blame?

Yup, but I can see why someone like an intern could almost prefer Chapek (again, I'm in NO WAY saying Chapek was good, qualified, or anything but a disaster, or that he was not totally hated by the cast. Please don't anyone take this as me saying Chapek wasn't that bad or that I miss him). Chapek wasn't good enough to cloak everything he does like Iger is. D+ sticks out to me. Iger cuts content, then months later raises prices. Chapek would do it all at once instead of hoping most people wouldn't put the two together (and to be honest, Iger is probably correct on that). I have to assume it's very similar for how it works at the parks as well. Heck, didn't Iger throw out all sorts of complaints about Chapek making the Lake Nona move, to then continue the process behind the scenes while also ordering all remote work to basically end? Not going to post it, but it reminds me of the South Park episode where they needed a new school mascot.

Almost like the guy who put him there did so intentionally knowing the end result and his God complex took over thinking he would come back as the savior…

If we're recycling, bring Katzenberg back. He always wanted to be the boss. At least he was more on the creative side.

Katzenberg got a sweetheart deal when he was axed from Disney and walked away with over $100M more than 20 years ago. Chapek walked away with only $23M.

I think he’s suggesting replacing Iger…who needs to Giz-ooooo…not worrying about chapek?

Katzenberg is 72 and I'd be traveling golfing etc with all the millions Katz has in the bank but some of these guys keep thirsting for power and influence.

Well I don’t think we SERIOUSLY want katzenberg, do we?

 

[MisterPenguin]

And again, Penguin's Rule of Devil You Don't Know is made manifest again...

I've said it before: Almost everyone who left Disney gets lionized as a genius and possible savior of the company, while everyone who remains in Disney is demonized as incompetent fools hellbent on destroying the company.

There is no middle ground.

Here’s my rule:

When something is broken…you fix it.

Aka: don’t run your business like the Toronto maple leafs

Not a chance but stranger things have happened.

Katzenberg is a billionaire, he’s got more money than Iger does.

All he wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and Michael wouldn't give it to him.

Instead he got a couple hundred million .
