This is a poor point. Because we could do this all day.
Money alone does not guarantee success. It does, however, help it along considerably and opens the door for success. People demanding a sale tomorrow are misguided, because there are more examples of failed rich owners than successful ones. However, people backing the current board to the hilt are also misguided, as it's been 14 years in which the progress has been entirely limited to managerial successes. We do not have a new stadium, we are not a growing global brand, we are the same old Everton, just with a better team on the pitch.
A better team on the pitch is what we all want and hope for, of course, but it as the singular point of success it leaves us very vulnerable. If Bobby turns out to be very poor in the transfer market, we could drop easily - and struggle to come back. Or if he leaves and Bill makes a mistake with the next manager. Our lack of income and revenue is the big stick to beat the board with here, not anything to do with the pitch.
The ideal scenario is that we find a billionaire that loves Everton as much as any of us - but that obviously is not going to happen, so we should swerve the dreams. The Blue Union would have been far better received if it had presented reasonable alternatives rather than simply demanding Kenwright out and complaining about the failure to secure a new stadium.
As with many things (though certainly not all) the truth of this debate lies somewhere in the middle - or if it doesn't, each side needs to be better about explaining their position without resorting to insults and emotions. I am sympathetic to both sides, but often feel that the Kenwright out side comes off as very hostile, to their own detriment.
