Experience in the corporation? Check.
Business minded? Check.
Absolute company man, loyal to the letter? Check.

Might not be a “Roy” but he’s the only one who isn’t naive about where the power lies and who isn’t fucking himself endlessly. Had the role in the scandal, had the shitty testimony before Congress, but hey, he did the CEO thing, played dumb during the investigation, and even volunteered to do a bid for the only guy that ever mattered.

Logan pretty clearly wanted it to be Roman at day’s end, because Roman could just be a little desperate puppet for him. But Roman can’t help but fuck himself every time. Kendall should’ve been the heir but, as Will said, the drugs are a non-starter, and Ken is just such an addict in every way, with the manic swings, the destructive behavior, the desperation for affection. Greg is too much of a dunce, a stooge— can climb the ladder, but there’s totally a ceiling (but he’s doing it the right way in following Tom’s model of ladder-climbing).

And Shiv may as well be Connor— no real experience, plus she clearly thinks herself the smartest person in the room at all times. Logan’s mockery of her in the finale was so real, lol. He’d done that voice before.
