Iger Succession Thread or Who Will Replace Beautiful Bob

You must be particularly fascinated by the reactions here toward Eisner, then.

I'm more frustrated because my more recent opinions on things is the minority opinion here. It was the same back then. It's like how many times do I have to be right about things before the majority catches on and stops fighting me?

You really want to relive it? I can search and I'll search later but you or anyone are welcome to search before I do.

No, just a list of where you've been proven right and were ignored vs where you were a bit more off the mark.

Don't want you feeling bad.

Iger has brought us ESPN and 'Planes' and probably next up Boats.

ESPN was Eisner. It just grew a lot under Iger.

26 post and nobody said Meg yet! Its a miracle. I would think that Jay would be a top candidate for the position from the company perspective.

Yes unfortunately, Rasulo would bring us from the "Year of a Thousand Cuts" to "Year of a Million Cuts" and Mouse Arrest Bands for everyone.

Carl Icahn. He will do to Disney what he did to TWA.

The question is would that be a BAD thing?, Splitting Disney into Movie/P&R/IP Holding companies???

Ask yourself "Does TWA exist anymore?". I really don't think anything good would come of it unless you want to speak of Disney in the past tense.

I'm already beginning to think of Disney in the past tense, Iger's refusal to answer questions at investors call, #WDW-2014-YEAR-OF-1000-CUTS etc,

After AMR purchased and destroyed TWA - there is nothing left anymore.

If this is done right yes. I am all for the Oriental Land Company owning the American parks. They are obviously doing something right over there. I think there would be a better realization of investment then TDO currently has.

Yes IF P&R were sold to OLC who has a passion for operating a park properly, That being said once again if you look at @ParentsOf4 back in 2000 Disney was getting a far higher return on capital than they are now.

Once again it proves that American companies can no longer manage their way out of a paper bag, What are we paying their executive teams mega-dollars for???

I quite agree - he can finish the job that Iger started...
