Okay, so you object to looking for someone more qualified to run a mining company. May I make a suggestion?
How about someone more qualified at litigation? Brent only has a long string of losses under his belt so far.
Or how about someone better qualified to negotiate joint ventures? Brent's efforts (Tronox, Amex, JL) have been sloppy, risky and have cost MSX a lot of money.
Or how about someone better qualified to administer a business? Mr. Johnson has overseen glaring failures in meeting regulatory requirements, and (if you believe his story) he failed to supervise the negotiations between Tom Jackholm and his mother, resulting in a lawsuit that threatens the company's viability.
Or how about someone better qualified in public and investor relations? No communication. No real website. Poorly written, contradictory and retracted PRs. Secrecy and murky dealings (for example with Steve Davis).
Brent has been permitted a lot of time and leeway to prove himself as a leader, and he's failed. Even if we can't agree on the ultimate direction that MSX should take, can we at least agree that Brent Johnson is the wrong guy to get us there?
