I guess it’s the end of Disney as we know it! Disney will go bankrupt if Disney chose him!

I guess it’s the end of Disney as we know it! Disney will go bankrupt if Disney chose him!

They have been drastically underperforming the markets and dropping financial bombs all over Hollywood for the last 3 years…

So what’s the urgency now?

So what’s the urgency now?

A lot of people don’t like Andrew Wilson and I’ve heard he’s a terrible businessman. If Bob Iger chose him, Disney might go bankrupt! Even worse than Bob Chapek! I guess Disney is hopeless!

 

[ChrisFL]

Disney is already running on EA's business model, so yeah why not?

 

[Starship824]

If he's selected it'll be Chapek times ten. Please no.

 

[TsWade2]

See what I mean? This is the end of Disney! I guess I’ll have to plan a funeral if Andrew Wilson make Disney collapse and shut down forever!

 

[BrianLo]

Again, be careful what you all have been wishing for. Better the devil(s) we know.

 

[TsWade2]

It’s the end of Disney!

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

If he's selected it'll be Chapek times ten. Please no.

How bad could it be? Afterall…we have accepted an unchecked despot for this long…

Again, be careful what you all have been wishing for. Better the devil(s) we know.

…you’ve totally fell for it. Bob is proud

[TsWade2]

This is getting bad! Now I don’t know if I can trust any CEOs anymore!

 

[BrianLo]

Fell for what exactly? Being so foolhardy to cheer for the godawful EA CEO?

CEO's generally suck. That's the point. The odds on management getting better for the company are incredibly, incredibly narrow.

Yep....CEO's goal is MAKE MONEY FOR SHAREHOLDERS

You'll now spend twice as much for a Lightning Lane, but, there's a random chance* that it will be a Premier Pass!!

Almost two years to the day since Iger was brought back with the explicit promise of finding a new CEO.

Now, within hours, we get stories about them bringing on the EA CEO and a conversation Iger’s had (with a major competitor) about a major corporate restructuring.

Josh and Dana can’t be feeling too great right about now.

Bob trying to find a way to do “Co-CEO’ing” without the drama, eh?

Nor the board members who made it clear that they'll be in charge of finding a new CEO, not Iger. They should be talking to other CEO's about structure, not him.

At least, this time around.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Dana Walden is not going to get the job because of her political ties and the struggles of Disney+. Josh D’amaro is not going to get the job because the Disney board is not going to promote another parks guy to be CEO.

The board is going to want someone who comes from tech and Andrew Wilson is going to be the pick.

He's perfect!
