Default Bollore quits Jaguar after 2 years

https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-new...just-two-years

I tend to follow Jag as my grandfather had an XJ and as such there is that 'inspiration'. The last couple of years have been painful to watch, especially killing the new XJ close to launch, forgetting to keep developing the current models, and particularly announcing they are all toast in 2025 and will be replaced by 2 or 3 SUV/electric cars at a much higher price point where traditional customers don't shop. Stuffing up with semiconductors seems to have occurred too, to the extent they have got single digit sales figures in the months VFACTS. Perhaps there is more to it than that.

In his favour he seems to have controlled losses, he was honest on quality, and his focus on quality is the right one and beginning to yield results, apparently.

What is the vox pop from the folks here: was this a hatchet job? Does it look similar to the Ford Australia CEOs after Polites?
