Don't just say "She lacks power" site some examples. Because I think she has more than enough power to run a Guild.

I recall that perfectly well, but if his personality didn't change, do you honestly believe he'd of been running the guild? If Makarov was forced into retirement when Laxus had his old attitude then I'm sure, Makarov would have had any of the other three choices step up.

In addition, never said Erza and Mira were in. I've already stated that since Gildarts and Laxus are possibilities there would be no need to have either of those two step up.
