My congratulations to WW. He has saved his job for now. By doing the standard 'Axe a couple of them and take personal control', he has bought himself six months. He might still lose but not by as much.
The Board do not want to see him go - whatever they might think of him - because the instability in front of the shareholders would be very bad. If they drop him earlier than planned, they will all get away with it. So, Well Done Willie.
