AP CEO Departure

[arezzo66]

I am not surprised Merk has been fired, there have been several hiccups since he took over, the silly new slogan for the marketing campaign "To Break the Rules, you must first Master them", I mean what? , the debacle of the 40th Anniversary AP backed sale at Antiquorum this month totally shook confidence of collectors in AP, even a company like Omega had better sense in managing their brand equity than this guy with their Omegamania Auction and others which have a consistent program of ensuring things go well at auction and gives confidence to collectors at large, but then again if JP Morgan and the Nasdaq can screw up then why not Merk

I am sure there is more but that is what I could ascertain and it was funny I told a friend a week before the announcement that if I were a board member I would fire this guy.

What a coincidence

The New Dude should be better but then again what do I know
