I certainly agree that GK needs the blow torch applied to his belly, the ultimate responsibility lies firmly in his chair, I do not think he has performed his role in anything approaching an acceptable way, try listing the successes the company can claim over the last 10 years and compare that to the list of miserable failures.
We are led to believe that we have a plausible treatment for a number of neurological diseases which should mean that the world is beating a path to our door, instead we have become a bad joke.
GK has overseen a continuous stream of failure and the company would benefit from new leadership that might be able to chart a new course to success.
GK would also have had primary responsibility for appointing Dr Shoulson which adds just one more poor decision to a list that is far too long.
