Therefore, he probably had to delegate a lot of stuff he did in FFXIV and in particular, he no longer has the time to play the game thoroughly (like he confessed doing with SHB). From that point on, mess is inevitable because it's now younger people doing it and... well, you know the rest.
That and despite being on the board, he's the youngest there. In JP the youngest basically has no say. If someone above him says "hey, let's do this" you just nod your head in agreement and do it. Not saying that YoshP is perfect or anything but between being very busy and probably having to agree to shit without really thinking on it...yeah.
