Sorry for the drift, but.
Bob was doing a good job, he like all the CEO's will have the bottom feeders giving him the info, yes, he will be rememberd for the tails, but that could of worked out a lot better had the press been doing some normal reporting of news items instead of having a go at a hi profile company.
And to top it all, the way in which Bob left the company was a turning point inside the company !!!
Good luck to BALPA on this one.
