This is great news! no more fighting about it! No! Now, lets listen to all the Eisner supporters yell and cry about how the new management when it happens will be so much worse. LISTEN! it cant be worse! Once you get the dictator out of the mix, finally someone will be able to speak their mind and not be run by one person even though there's a board.
Oh and no, I don't care about Roy Disney being CEO, that's not it at all. I support save disney.com's cause but not so much Roy himself.
Hey, anything's better than Eisner.

Oh
One more thing to those who say "well Roy hired him".
Well as a person in corporate America, I have seen many people move up the ranks of a company and can tell you that as you give people more power they can change. Eisner is not the same man now as when he was brought in.

Oh dear God no! NO!!
from Reuters:
It said these might include such former Disney executives as eBay Inc. CEO Meg Whitman, Gap Inc. CEO Paul Pressler, News Corp. Chief Operating Officer Peter Chernin, and Jeff Bewkes, who chairs Time Warner Inc.'s entertainment and networks group
If this happens I'm just gonna do jump off a bridge. :brick: :brick:

I posted this on the other Eisner thread as well:
Hmm this raises a few questions for me.
Will Iger replace him??? He has not done a great job with ABC and the vote is split about the Disney Channel.
But who else is out there?
A Studio Exec from another studio?
The other question is will Eisner leave a legacy at the parks by opening up Mickey's wallet and fund a bunch of new projects for the parks.
Should be an interesting couple of years.

NO WAY would anyone in their right mind let Pressler back in...
STAY AWAY PAUL!
Here's a thought...we riot instead of jumping off bridges...

This might be a terrible problem for the following reasons:
Eisner, since he's leaving on a certain date, will try to maximize profits until 2006, and who knows what that will entail.
Most imortantly, the shareholders will be less likely to listen to the SaveDisney team when they argue for a management change to people who truly care about Walt's vision, because there is already a main choice in place.
Maybe SaveDisney could argue that allowing Eisner's choice, Iger, will only continue his plans, and instead endorse another cadidate who shares our vision!
