regardless of who is on the BOD they would not have been able to stop the cobalt price from diving or turn it around.

This is true. But if we had the sort of information we should have, regarding the deposit, and the viability, we may have elected to leave the ship before it took on even more water

on the other hand though, we could keep the current BOD who have what seems to be decent experience, or swap them for some nobodies.

That decent experience didn't stop either poor or mismanaged drilling, and obtusification of the results. Someone needs to be held to account for the current state of the project.
