Mr. Litvack....one smart dude!
What a nice polite public way to say "Sayonara Eisner"!
Don't get me wrong, I like DISNEY, and have said in the past, I always will! But all this stuff I always read about how difficult it is to work with Eisner is simply "getting old".
I am still miffed that Eisner did not live up to answering all who wrote him regarding the new GO.COM rollout. I think it was a marketing ploy and I still envision Mr. Eisner GREEDILY jotting notes in his study while he read the emails that many had sent him. (MOST OF THEM MOST LIKELY FROM US!)
I've just grown to despise the guy, and I think that it is time to bring new leadership aboard. A TRUE LEADER would "do as he says", and "say as he does". Mr. Eisner isn't qualified for true leadership. Disney is all that Disney is because of FAR MORE than Mr. Eisner. My stomached rolled over when in this year's Letter to the Investors of Disney, Mr. Eisner proudly proclaimed that his wife had advised him to NOT fill the investor letter with so many comments about his family. He made light of it. It was distasteful.
Why am I typing these thoughts? Well, to me, DIG is 72% owned by Disney, and it is sadly apparent that DIG is 72% CONTROLLED by Disney, and that Disney is 100% CONTROLLED BY MR. EISNER.
That means that my thoughts, our thoughts, my beliefs, our beliefs, my desires, our desires, are SIMPLY OVERCONTROLLED.
Egads, I sound just like SZ and GJ here, and I do not intend to. But I believe, as they say, that "The Writing is on The Wall", and it doesn't look to me anymore that Mr. Eisner will ever get off his personal EGO TRIP, and get DIG's stock price up!
Mr. Eisner, if you can't "handle the heat", GET THE HELL OUT OF THE KITCHEN!
