Gooch and Thornton had no idea what hit them and have failed miserably at handling it when it did. I can't see why the board would have any faith in them at this point.

Gooch and Thorton know exactly what they are doing. Gooch's history alone with Radio Shack does not qualify him to be hired for anything beneficial to Market Basket.

Im going to go to MB tomorrow to return my $100 gift card. Its useless since they have nothing to sell me. And at this point, it looks like the company will go under before the greedy bastards give in. Such a shame.
