Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

I think Iger is going to be forced out. He won’t have the opportunity to throw the next CEO under the bus.

Maybe so. But the. Who takes his place? Tight pants?

I’m hearing MK’s numbers are holding tight, but all the other gates are struggling a bit this far this summer… sounds like peeps are still showing up, but for much less time and not visiting anything but the castle park. Shorten vacation stays could be for a variety of reasons. Easy to blame it on whatever you want the data to say.

 

[Nubs70]

So you are so convinced Iger will do the same to the new guy? I don't believe it.

The new CEO needs to be anointed by the Board then clear out the old Board and start fresh.

Chapek was setup for failure by Iger things then Iger rides in on his white horse saying I can’t believe what Chapek did and I’ll save the day and fix all and here we are. Much improved

Except for 100% of the performance and financials…minor details

Ohhhh man…that stock sinking right now.. below the “chapek line” and falling.

Next quarterlies should be a hoot

That’s why the ceo should have ZERO influence on a board beyond 2-3 Allies…

This is a huge problem that has been lying in the weeds ready to strike the entire company for a decade.

If that is the case that will be a first . The Board hires you, sets up your work contract to include million dollar plus bonus incentives then you proceed to get rid of the Board. That's more fantasy than reality.

 

[jpeden]

Can't get rid of the CEO if you're in the middle of a CFO search. Stability and continuity and all that jazz.

Unless you want to clean house because the house of cards is falling. But yeah that would be risky either way at this point

Well, unless doing something like when Eisner and Wells came in and both were recruited by the board and reported to the board

Cast member discount just dropped on H2O glow nights and EPCOt After Hours for the summer.

Y’all still wanna argue that they’re not selling the number of tickets they expected to aell?

What do you mean by dropped? They dropped it, as in got rid of it?

It will be the same excuse from them. That's normal and they always did discounts

The board is seated by the power holders... you align with them, you get the board how you want.

CEOs aren't insulated from the power behind those who pick the board.

Other way around... your new leadership will pick your forever-CFO.

CFO will be a placeholder until new leadership is really seated.

 

[solidyne]

What do you mean by dropped? They dropped it, as in got rid of it?

Probably "dropped" as in "released," the way albums would drop on Tuesdays back in the day.

Iger will use the lack of a permanent CFO to say he’s forced to extend his tenure for the stability of the company. I would bet a week of Genie+ on it.

Shew that’s an expensive bet. You sure about that?

A week for a family of FOUR.

meh... the lack of a CEO transition plan is going to drive that. CFO can be put on cruise control if the business doesn't face major disruption... but you still need a business leader to set the course (CEO). CFO is the tip of a whole army of finance people. The news of that (or most likely.. lack of news of progress) is what will drive Iger's renewal or not.
