    He stays ... Unless he can sway shareholder sentiment before Yahoo's annual meeting Aug. 1, Yang could still lose his job in a boardroom coup being attempted by investor Carl Icahn.

    Yang is still the CEO. There is still one more week to go before we can answer this. I think he will stay.

    If Yahoo is kept independent, they still need a good leader in the battle against Google and MS. Did Yang do a good job in the last few years!? His result has been well reflected in the recent share price. Perhaps he would not be replaced by July, but shareholders would like to find a better CEO.

    I am not too sure he will be fired. But there are definitely bloggers who think he SHOULD be fired:

    The whole thing is money-driven. Bottom line is, Yahoo will be sold only when the price is outrageously high... Yang isn't going to be replaced that soon.

    Although he is blamed for not closing the deal at a good price, there is no candidate to replace him to lead Yahoo! Anyway what do you think?
