Poll: How long will Eisner survive as CEO of Walt Disney Company?

[Blair]

We all know the big story, 43% withheld:

If the opposition to Mr Eisner's tenure exceeds early predictions, it would represent the biggest vote against a US company chairman in years.

Mr Gold told thousands of Disney shareholders at the group's annual meeting in Philadelphia said such a result would represent an "unprecedented vote of no confidence" in the annals of US corporate history.

Generally, they say that no one survives +20% withheld, so it seems that the bell has finally tolled for Eisner. How long till it's officially over?

I give him till the end of the year. The board will start a search for a replacement soon (if they haven't already).

I give him a year or 2

He said in an interview that he 'plans' on sticking around until his contract is up which I believe is in 2006.

Do not know what a buy-out would cost so 2006 may be a good time frame. Of course, by then, Disney will no longer exist (at least that's the point I'm getting from most 'posters') because Eisner is so bad . . bad, bad man. Bad man. Wow, when you say that fast it almost sounds like Batman.

i agree... i think he's going to drag his heels as long as he can
at least as long as his contract allows
