Prentice and his ilk are really not fit to comment on Everton - especially as we all are pretty certain it's badly run and the asking price is ludicrous. I only wish I could make my business problems go away with the deft swipe that BK and his Echo wallahs throw to us, the customers/loyal fans/whatever epithet fits. Instead I look for a reasoned argument to work out any problems and react accordingly. I can be reactionary in private but, for the public (staff, contacts, suppliers etc) one has to maintain a strong front. I've found the solution will arrive in time and, with the goodwill of right minded people one tends to get things moving in the right direction. It really isn't rocket science and, just because those responsible for this reprehensible form of defence (of their business) believe that those who seek to discredit them are one of disloyal/stupid/wrong/ignorant/unwilling to be appeased does not mean that is actually the case. Unfortunately one discovers, eventually, that those who do the most unreasoned shouting tend to be the people who are wrong and who resent being caught out. In the case of BK and Co "me thinketh thou doest protesteth too much"
