Yahoo Openly Critical of Carl Icahn’s Proposed Takedown
Posted on July 17th, 2008 in Marketing
An article at CNNMoney reports that Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) Chairman Roy Bostock and Chief Executive Jerry Yang blasted dissident shareholder Carl Icahn as a “corporate agitator” who would “strike any deal” with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to “get his money back quickly.”
As displeased as we are at WebMarket West to think that we all may soon have only two great marketing channels to work with instead of the three great we now have, blasting dissident shareholder’s is not going to win them any favor with the new regime.
Come on, Roy and Jer! Resign yourselves to the inevitable, like the rest of us are doing. Suck up to your new boss a bit and if you don’t have anything nice to say about Carl, don’t say anything at all. Or, at least don’t say anything that will upset the stockholders on the winning side.
