I actually want to see it happen, actually; I was so repulsed that PPR was able to let Tom and Domenico go after they saved Gucci from bankruptcy in 1994, that I think they deserve a slap in the face. Under De Seole / Ford - PPR saw Gucci sales increase by over 350% - and stock analysts are predicting stock to drop now by more than 1/3.

Die, PPR. :)
