Should Mr Knight quit if Adams fails

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

You would still need the approval of the board. Being Chairman doesn't mean you can do anything you want. In some companies, the chairman is lttle more than a figurehead and an MD or CEO wields much more executive power.

Not saying that is the case here, just that the title Chairman doesn't always mean absolute power.

Quite so and the Chairman will be elected by either the board or the shareholders. Now if an individual board member holds more than 50% of the shares then he/she may be able to get themselves elected but DK holds less than 30%; in fact the Bloom family holds more than him.
