Return to Story IndexBP TONY HAYWARD EXIT
B-P IS HOPING TO SALVAGE ITS IMAGE BY LOSING THE TOP EXECUTIVE WHO BUNGLED THE GULF OIL SPILL ... BUT AS FOX'S AMY KELLOGG REPORTS ... HE'S GETTING A BIG-PAY-DAY TO LEAVE. IN A BOARD MEETING TODAY AT BP'S GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS IN LONDON, IT IS THOUGHT, THE DETAILS OF CEO TONY HAYWARDS'S GOLDEN GOODBYE WERE BEING FINALIZED. IT IS BELIEVED HE WILL GET A $1.5 MILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT, EQUIVALENT TO ONE YEAR'S SALARY. AND A PENSION SCHEME WORTH UPWARDS OF $15 MILLION ... NONE OF THIS APPARENTLY UNUSUAL FOR SOMEONE LIKE HEYWARD WHO HAS BEEN WITH THE COMPANY FOR 28 YEARS. HAYWARD says: "I want my life back" HAYWARD IS BEST KNOWN IN AMERICA FOR MOMENTS LIKE THESE, REMARKS PERCEIVED AS INSENSITIVE TO THOSE LIVING THE DEEPWATER TRAGEDY. HE WAS ALSO LAMBASTED FOR DOWNPLAYING THE EFFECTS OF THE SPILL, SAYING THEY WOULD BE MODEST AND THAT THE GULF WAS A BIG OCEAN. IT IS THOUGHT REMOVING HAYWARD WILL HELP BP RESTORE ITS IMAGE IN THE UNITED STATES WHERE SHAREHOLDERS HAVE 40 PERCENT OF BP'S STOCK. AMERICAN ROBERT DUDLEY IS EXPECTED TO REPLACE HAYWARD AS CEO. BLACK says: "The challenge is to move on and put to rest what's happened before (butt sot) Bob dudley will be able to say sorry and move the business on and that will be very cathartic." HE WOULD BE THE FIRST NON-BRIT IN THE POSITION OF CEO. HE'S BEEN REFERRED TO AS CALM, COOL, COLLECTED. THE FACT THAT DUDLEY GREW UP IN MISSISSIPPI AND THEREFORE HAS AN ATTACHMENT TO THE REGION WILL NO DOUBT HELP REVERSE THE IMAGE OF INDIFFERENCE BP HAS THUS FAR CREATED IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MANY AMERICANS. "OUR SISTER NETWORK SKY NEWS REPORTS TONIGHT THAT HEYWARD WILL RETAIN A ROLE AS ONE OF 4 BP REPRESENTATIVES TO SIT ON THE BOARD OF ITS JOINT VENTURE WITH THE RUSSIANS. DUDLEY HAD RUN BP'S RUSSIAN OPERATIONS PREVIOUSLY BUT ENDED UP LEAVING IN HASTE AFTER A DISPUTE WITH THE KREMLIN. MEANWHILE B-P WILL BEGIN PLUGGING THE CAPPED WELL BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK.
