Bob Iger to step down

[Queen2PrincessG]

I would think if Weinstein was the reason Iger would leave the company completely, not simply change roles.

He’s already leaving but this takes him out of the front line. It makes sense.

No I don’t think this has anything to do with Weinstein.

Talk about perfect timing. He managed to step down right before having to be in charge during this crisis. The huge hit to the bottom line due to parks closing will be happening on Chapek's watch, not Iger's.

Follow the money. I’m certain this has little to do with wanting to handle the crisis ...Iger has been a proven leader, no way he walks from a challenge. CEO’s have huge stock options. While I don’t know the nature of his deal, I’d be shocked if this wasn’t totally a financial decision. After all, that’s what he does....

Jan 25 Shanghai Disney closes Due to Coronavirus.

Feb 25. Iger resigns.

sure. Just a coincidence.

Yeah, history will remember this as Iger getting out before the Coronavirus. (Not necessarily in a negative way.)

Nothing is a coincidence.
