You're entitled to you opinion, but not your own set of facts.

So Drake says something different.

Who would I believe - the petty hedge fund who sit just below the takeover threshold, who have never supported the company; who snipe from the background - who want control without a plan (or perhaps a secret plan)?

Or the seasoned professional executive who has demonstrated diplomacy and integrity, and has a strong track record of achievement?

Yeah, you don't need to answer that.

So Drake's compromise was both off the board, to be replaced with two Drake-ites?

You muppets have a funny understanding of what a compromise is.

Drake can take a long jump off a short plank. You can join them if you like.
