Things really are coming to a head when one of your main shareholders sends their heavy squad in to ask the chairman what value, if any, they themself are adding to the process. If Broughton is not careful it looks like he will be joining Willie lining up at the HR department window for their P45s.
The question is though who else will hire Willie when his only previous major attraction was that despite being totally uncharismatic and uninspiring as an individual his ruthless determination to impose his will and push through ruthless cost slashing actually worked in terms of turning the business around.
Now that his press on regardless methods have blown up in his face exactly what skill sets can he now claim to offer. However one has a feeling that there may still be a place for him at Ryanair where charm with staff and/or passengers is not required and ruthless cost slashing has been virtually turned in to an art form. There again I suppose Willie may find it difficult to work for a CEO even more ruthless and lacking in good manners than himself (i.e. Michael O' Leary)
