Just to play the Devil's advocate here. Can any of you anti-Eisnerites, Save Disneyites, or whatever you're calling yourselves these days tell me where the Walt Disney Company would be today without Michael Eisner?
I'm not going to disagree that the performance of the company has been lax the last few years, but that has been the norm rather than the exception in the entire scheme of things the past 5-6 years. Would the Walt Disney Company still exist as an entity today, if Eisner and his group hadn't taken over in the mid-80s?? Maybe yes, maybe no. I guess we'll never know. I just think you should put some thought into this question. Also, remember Roy was part of the group that brought Eisner in to begin with.
Another thing that I find funny, is that over the past year and a half on this board, I've seen quite a bit of bashing on Mr. Pressler, and yet now Roy states that he wished that Pressler was still around. How am I to take this statement? A man that so many people revile is one of the people that the man so many of you hold as the savior of the company wants to have back. Is this an oxymoron or what?
I don't know what the future holds for TDWC, but I'm certain that no matter what happens I will support TDWC until the end, whenever that will be. My only hope is that somehow TDWC can come out of this period in its history as its own company or a majority owner in a partnership deal.
Just my $.02
