what happened to all the people dissing the efforts of Roy and Stan. i remember alot of people not believing anything would come of this....and maybe nothing will, but 43% was a hell of a grassroots type movement to make people aware of the problem Ei$ner is.

It's funny today how some didnt believe they could get 30 or 20

***"remember alot of people not believing anything would come of this...."***

Well, unless I've missed the ME retirement announcement, nothing has come of it. I've taken a "wait and see" stance on Roy and Stan, but the bottom line is that unless ME steps down, then their efforts have been in vain.

 

[raidermatt]

True, but Breralex is right that it has already gone further than many said it would.

I'm curious Mr. Viking.

Just what do you think of Ei$ner? Good - bad - indifferent?

I've been trying to understand your position for quite some time now, and quite frankly, you've got me stumped!!

When I talk to my favorite Pirate or that distinguished Duck, I hardly ever agree, but at least I understand their perspective. I know where they are coming from, because it was the same place I was at five years ago. But you (and Crusader and Mr. Bear) have me baffled.

So can you enlighten me?

Thanks!

Landbaron,

Please check your PM's.

I'm in Car Nothing.

I try to look at everything objectively.

I'm a "glass half full" person.

I like to play devils advocate sometimes on topics I could care less about.

I love going to WDW three times a year. I've never been even remotely disappointed.

I lurk jeff's board.....when it's up.

I don't think the purchase of ABC was a bad idea and I'd rather see it fixed then sold.

And lastly........

Thats the forth reference I've seen to this board today. Is it an invitation only board? If not, could someone send me a link?

 

[KNWVIKING]

Wow, my powers of observation (or lack there of) continue to astound me!

Thanks Viking and Baron.

Baron, except for the ABC comment, and lurking on "Jeff's Board" (not sure what site that is),and the fact that I don't get to WDW as often (dammit), I'm right with the Viking.

Does 43% No Confidence = Mickey Butter Sightings sometime in the future?

The naysayers are the 15% of the audience made up of ABC staffers who are currently attending the afterglow party.

One can only hope!! But the future does look 'butter' doesn't it?

 

[BRERALEX]

KNWVIKING did ya miss the

and maybe nothing will,

my little disclaimer.

all im saying is some people here said it was all for not and now it seems it wasnt alot people voted no to get 43% thats a hell of alot

 

[BRERALEX]

It's being reported on yahoo and msnbc.com that their splitting the roles of ceo and chairman, wheres everyone at?

KNWVIKING i believe savedisney.com has done something and my bumper sticker was well placed.

 

[rascalmom]

George Mitchell has been named Chairman of the Board, Michael Eisner is retained as CEO. Does the Disney classic, Pinocchio come to anyone else's mind? I think they are hiding behind the corporate governance issue and don't see that the stockholders are not happy with the way the company is being run. A board with its head in the sand is just going to leave Disney more vulnerable to a buy out from Comcast or someone else. The vultures are circleing and they rarely leave their prey whole.

Business - AP

Disney Co. Splits CEO, Chairman Positions
9 minutes ago


By GARY GENTILE, AP Business Writer

PHILADELPHIA - The Walt Disney Co.'s board voted late Wednesday to split the roles of chairman and chief executive, hours after shareholders delivered a stinging rebuke by withholding 43 percent of their votes for CEO Michael Eisner's re-election to the board.

Disney directors voted unanimously to make board member George Mitchell the company's new chairman and voiced their continuing approval of Eisner's management and the company's strategy.


The change is effective immediately.


The board also rejected a renewed overture from cable television giant Comcast Corp., saying it would serve no purpose to reconsider an offer already dismissed as too low.


The move is unlikely to satisfy the company's most vocal critics, ex-board members Stanley Gold and Roy E. Disney, who have vowed to continue their fight to oust Eisner.

As I recall, even Roy and Stan didn't think they'd get 20 or 30%. They were HOPING for that high of a number, but never went on the record as saying they'd get it. Does that make them non-believers of their own campaign?
