Clutching at straws ? You can not say he has not put the investment into Everton, some of his choices as managers have been poor, but that's only with hindsight.
So are you ready to retract your ridiculous "Carpetbagger" remark.

He couldn't sell us for a profit tomorrow, that's the point. He either sells for a loss or doubles down on his investment to get us towards the 1 billion mark.
No one is buying us for 500 million + the buyer would have to plough in another 150-200 million to proceed with BMD.

Sound you just carry on uphill ski-ing Dave lad, nothing worse than a man who cannot admit he is wrong.

Took over a club that had been to Wembley that season and been 5th with a club record total. Hires one decent manager in 4 years in Ancelotti - who still wont get Everton to Wembley or anywhere near Martinez's PL points record.

He's a clueless Iranian biff who wasted £500M on transfer cash by hiring a series of 'kin weapons.
I think ultimately, he'll be more important.

That is not really true. Yes we have made mistakes in personnel but without learning from that we would have continued making them until the funds were withdrawn and we ended up like Blackburn under Venky's or Sunderland or Newcastle, Villa etc.
He managed to stop the freefall and put in place something which is probably the most significant in our history bar from the club's formation. BMD is going to keep us at the forefront of English football for the next 60 years, without that our steady decline would have continued until we were as relevant as Preston NE. You don't have to like him to show some respect for not just settling for a cow shed somewhere out by the motorway but giving something which will live on far after he has shuffled off.

You quoted appearing at Wembley and coming 5th, that was one season. What of the other half dozen before and after to compare? Don't just take one season.

You'd take that right now.
My FF ITK by the way says he saw Ancelotti in training shaking his head and overheard him saying to Ferguson "FFS, how did Roberto get 72 points out of these cabbages?"
No, I wouldnt Dave, my aims are a little higher than 5th and Wembley.
