Let's not argue with fellow Evertonians on this issue
But that right there shows that you completely misunderstand the entire argument. Ferguson is a legend in the world of football, and his ability to run a football team is unquestionable. We're not talking about a football team here though, we're talking about a business.
Not sure at all how to respond to this, but to start the initial argument was that Everton "are a very well run club," to which I believe the response was, "pardon me for not trusting his opinion on Everton Football Club."
It's not clear to me which part of Ferguson's legacy we should be discussing, but as a club United have done well on and off the pitch because of his tenure (as I previously suggested). Last I checked, United was in a very short list of the most valuable sports teams in the world. With a valuation just short of USD $3 BN, they seem to have done very well being managed so long by someone without a shred of business sense, if I am to understand your argument. We should be so lucky to have Everton run by someone so foolish.

Bill has plenty of nous when dealing with his core business in the entertainment industry, but whether he has or could transfer this skill into the business of running a Premier League football club is certainly open to question. I've droned on at great length on here and a previous forum many times about Bill trying to operate Everton in the same way that he operates in the theatre...by selling 'the dream' to potential backers. He initially sold the dream of the KD to Gregg, and Gregg bought into it because Bill had been the major influence on Greggs successful theatre business. He sold the dream of DK to Earl because Bills mate Phil Green( allegedly a major backer of Bills shows) recommended Earl. I assume that Bill also sells the dream to others (Moyes, Martinez ? Possibly) Problem is that the money floating around at the very top in the Prem has escalated dramatically since Bill became leading shareholder. Despite this, and while being unable to compete financially , in reality, with Chelsea, Man U, Man City and a few others, we have come very close, in fact have succeeded in compeing closely with these clubs on the field. Our only problem is that we don't have the money. Stating the beleedin' obvious I know, but thats the problem, and solving it is the only issue.

Atlético de Madrid have proved something this season when it comes to battling the mega-rich. Bobby believes too, so maybe it can be done.

Selling the dream to potential backers!!!
He is obviously useless at that too.

I agree with this...we are already the best at battling the mega rich in the Prem, and the new manager is setting our sights even higher.
