News The Walt Disney Company Board Names James P. Gorman as Chairman
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
After being embarrassed for their lack of due diligence with Chapek, Frankenstein's dolls are apt to turn on their creator.
Note that it's the Board giving PR updates and not the CEO.

Not to mention that many of the board members have turned over in recent years, so its not the same group of "lackeys" that were previously there. So its not a complete loyalist board as has been previously claimed.
Lessons were learned. Bob is not going to expose himself to the ridicule he received with the Chapek mess or the Staggs mess prior.
The board has been unwavering in their loyalty to Iger and none of that has changed since he was brought back and when he extended his run to 2026.

I see the Naivety Guard is coming to dumb down the conversation - as always 
Well, I don't know anymore if it's a good thing or a bad thing. So, I'll just wait and see how it goes. But still, I don't want Dana Walden or Josh D'Amaro to be CEOs. Because Dana is too political and Josh is a park guy and Disney can't afford to have a political or park person to be ceo of Disney. Sorry, but Disney has to do better and be entertainment driven than agenda driven.

Is it too late to get Nelson Pelts to try and fix things?
This companies in bad shape and looks to be headed into even rougher waters.

I agree with the sentiment that it’s perhaps not a glowing endorsement for an internal candidate. But we have the timeframe, perhaps simply to get the rumour mill to shut up.
I do not think in any universe the company was in a position to name a successor last January and a year transition seems an acceptable minimum. No matter what people say, the Iger extension beyond this December was a necessity.
Naming someone by mid point next year would display somewhat more confidence in their internal candidates.
Though the great boogeyman that Iger will extend again or be fired is stuff of pure fantasy. The timeline is set. Next to the dream journals about Kathleen.

Except we’ve seen this movie before and its sequels.
Bob getting fired is pure fantasy, it would be such a self-inflicted black eye for the company, that it would never be allowed to happen.
Bob getting extended is not pure fantasy, it’s a nightmare reality that has happened before, multiple times.

He’s beyond the “firing” point. It would be an announced retirement with bread and circuses…
And even that is unlikely. But it could happen if the investors demand it. And frankly they already should have. Because the current bad management will lose them money far into the future. They’re wrecking it…it’s just a slow burn. Disney always is a slow burn…good or bad.
But hey…polo fired Ralph Lauren…so you never know
If they're at the point of involuntarily parting ways with Bob because of investor sentiments, then they're practically at the point where breaking up the company becomes a distinct reality.

Disney Board: "Alright, we haven't found a new CEO, but we have found this stretcher to wheel Bob out on, because he's not stepping down until he's cold."
Peltz the misogynist and racist ? Not a chance.
If you know more please feel free to share about that loser Peltz.I
Don't you have another thread to haunt?
CEOs can get fired , just haven't found a smoking #%& yet.
Can't seem to handle facts about Peltz , it seems...
