It’s less shocking than the Deadline Headline suggests; it’s in the great tradition of sports team managers and head Coaches being given votes of confidence, and even contract extensions by owners until suddenly they are fired. You can’t really run a $160B company with the Board saying something like “We know our CEO sucks, and we will probably fire him as soon as we can get someone decent to take his place.”
The blood has been in the water for Chapek’s for a while now. I’m am a little more surprised Iger is the one taking his place, but I suppose the Board believed he was the only one who could instill investor confidence, and they must have dropped a shit load of money on his desk.
