Can't this guy cut a deal without complications? The former Mouse House CEO has gotten the baseball card company Topps in a tizzy by proposing the buy the company (along with a private equity firm) for $385 million, or $9.75 a share (the stock is trading at around $10). A couple of Topps directors got the heave-ho earlier this week from a committee looking for a better deal because they had voted against the Eisner group and were deemed unfit to objectively analyze any other offers. One of those directors claims that "Topps continues to ignore the will of its shareholders and continues to be run as a private club. This must stop.''
