Mouse Chess

Kevin Yee over at Miceage.com summarizes Eisner's precarious position:

Where is this heading? Well, we have a few more answers than we did last week. The split from CEO and Chairman is unlikely to placate everyone, and Eisner’s nightmare is unlikely to end any time soon. But I’ve been predicting since the Comcast offer first appeared that we’re in the midst of a chain of events that will eventually lead to Eisner’s complete ouster, and I stand by that. Comcast might press ahead, renew its bid, sweeten its offer, or even withdraw. Shareholders might continue to howl for Eisner’s head, or be placated for the time being. But the endgame is a replacement for Eisner – it’s all but certain. It’s even possible that Mitchell was promoted just to buy some time while the Board searches for a replacement for Eisner.

I agree with Yee, Eisner is toast.
