Don't make the mistake of putting words into my post.Originally posted by PeterAlt
In other words, you dislike Eisner not because of his business acumen but because you feel that his morals are different than yours.
Nope, wrong. I said that Eisner did a great deal of good in the beginning of his leadership, and some years after, but is now going in the wrong direction.Originally posted by PeterAlt
So the reason why people, such as yourself, dislike Eisner has gone from the way he runs the company, which you're admitting he's doing a good job at,

I agree that this board has become a place for bashing.
However, I don't think we are just bashing Eisner, but the current state of Disney itself.
I think that Roy Disney should be applauded for having the guts to speak out about what many of us Disney fans were privately thinking.
For example, even though I enjoyed my August 2002 trip to WDW, I felt that something was noticeably lacking. I couldn't quite out my finger on it. It was only after sitting back and taking it all in that I realized that the park had dropped down a couple of notches on the creativity, maintenance and hospitality scale. True, the quality of Disney is still above that of most vacation spots, but any slides in quality now can only lead to bigger and more obvious ones later.

On the subject of Disney stock: That seems to be the single best quantifiable argument for Eisner’s removal.
Disney Stock performance has been, over the past five years, frankly terrible.
Look at this chart:
Disney Stock Vs. S & P 500
The chart is based on percentage gain, so stock splits are removed from the equation. If you invested $10,000 dollars in Disney stock 10 years ago, you would have approximately $15,000 today. If you invested the same amount in a basic, S & P 500 index fund, you’d have approximately $24,000.
If you had invested $10,000 in Disney 5 or 6 years ago, you’d be sharply into negative numbers and calling for Eisner's head.

But quantity is not QUALITY. It's time to pull back, return to the roots, spirit, and heritage of Disney, with a new leader at the helm of the empire.

I'm not so sure Jay Rasulo deserves a hand. He was in charge of EuroDisney and Walt Disney Studios trying to unsuccessfully resolve all their problems.
His recent statements tend to downplay major attractions and focus more show entertainment and marketing have me question his thinking.
I don't think he even was part of the walk around team with Iger and Ouimet that resulted in that 50% increase in attractions budgets for DL. I give Ouiment 100% credit for this.
I think Rasulo is just a small time clone of Eisner. I hope Ouimet eventually replaces him, if not Eisner himself. Roy and Stanley back on the Board along with the Saudi prince who saved DLP resort.

From all the press that Roy and Stan has received, it's funny that no major stockholder or institution is supporting them.

The fairest way to compare it to is how's it did in its sector--travel/entertainment. Once you do your research then come back.

So long term visions like Roys are of no interest to the corporate gamblers who’ll be looking for a quick return (and a nice bonus).
I take it youve heard the phrase "never bite the hand that feeds you".
Well, if I drank (which I don't) I would be afraid to ask for a beer because it might be the kind that Roy favors or the kind that Michael drinks and then we'll start a new fight.....er, discussion.Originally posted by mkt
beer anyone?
don't make me drift this thread

bottom line, Eisner has needlessly cost the company millions, maybe even billions of dollars. and yeah, all CEO's make mistakes, but do they keep the mistakes around for years? for example, the Angels, the Mighty Ducks, ABC...Eisner should have learned from these and corrected them a LONG time ago, but they're still around.
