Doesn't mean they think he's a long term fix. But he's a necessary evil during the transition time. Think of the new ownership group as the GM of a football team who keeps getting asked when the head coach is getting fired; it will happen in due time.

Some of us dislike him because we think he favors certain submitters, doesn't do enough to stop doctored cards from getting through, and presides over a culture where dissent and questions are not tolerated. But if you're looking at this purely as a matter of dollars and cents, it's hard to deny that Joe has done a great job growing the PSA brand. The record revenues and backlogs attest to that, as does the fact that the scandal hasn't touched PSA. I'm not sure I would be thinking about replacing him.
