Issue no. 1......
core topline DOWN 5%.Trending down.Not good.
background:
q1, topline flatlined was blamed on the WHEATHER.
q2, what would you blame it on this round besides Sam??
Is Sam aware there is a little "FD" staring at his face and gores him slowly,death by 1000 cuts so to speak,and what measures does he have to lick that??It is a good time for the BIG PLAYERS to express concern,talk to him,and make sure Sam is on the ball.
