The recent communication with Joe was not very hopeful, according to NYD.
Hope would only bring us, I believe, a complete new beginning, i.e. a complete exchange of the company management.
Joe had his chance and failed miserably. I am also surprised that someone shows no insight into his complete failure. Holding on to power or position exposes the whole thing to the crown.
Any person, no matter how external, could have provided this non-performance.
Joe please go!
