A funny element of this conference call Q and A, was the question of a CEO for MEC to replace Frank in his 3rd stint as "interim"...
One analyst resurrected a question frequently asked at MEC conference calls--that of when a permanent CEO will be hired for the company. Stronach is currently in his third stint as interim CEO of MEC, which has seen five such executives come and go since 2000. “It’s a unique business and trying to find someone with all of those talents hasn’t been easy,” Simonetti said. “There are few horsemen with that knowledge of that industry, to really bring more of a business view of how to run that business. It’s not solely horses -- it’s slots, it’s gaming, it’s entertainment. Then you have the technology side of the business as well. It’s difficult for MEC to find someone with that broad knowledge." HELLO? EARTH TO TORONTO.. YOU HAD A GUY LIKE THAT... LOU RAFFETTO... BUT YOU FIRED HIM... AND NO ONE WORTH A DAMN WILL TAKE THE JOB...
