So, overall chief Eric Nicoli is out, publishing boss Roger Faxon is in, but what of Roger Ames, the former Warner Music chief given the top EMI North America job just earlier this year?

It's unclear whether Ames will stay on, or whether Terra Firma will want to put one of their own in the top job in the crucial US market. Gossipers say Ames is actually looking to use the Terra Firma takeover to increase his power in the major. Remains to be seen what he can negotiate.
