None taken. You're calling a spade, a spade, and it is true that a man off the street knowing nothing could do a better job. The reason is pretense to knowledge. Bell is buried in what he thinks he must preserve, mostly Excide. He is compromised and delimited where anyone else including the steward wouldn't be. How can you get creative management from someone in a straight jacket much of his own donning? You have to put the job on the line in order to do the job. You have to take that kind of risk in this situation. You have to get rid of outside interference and take the reins even if it means doing what needs to be done surreptitiously. If you do that, the powers will keep their damn mouths shut, but if you don't, they'll can you though you produce some fair results. If they're going to damn you, then let them damn you for what you are or what you can do. I get this image of Bell in negotiation with UPC and I see him with "training wheels" attached to his legs. He is out there making contact, but the powers are pulling all the strings. If I were Bell, there's no way I'd go along with that setup. I would have walked and refused any deal especially on those shabby terms. If Bell had any kind of spine or objective view, he'd see Armstrong as you do. But Bell can't do that. He compromised because Armstrong is a god and it will be Armstrong who fires that weakling.
