The point is, it doesn't really matter what kind of businessman he is.

Now, you want to talk GM, that's a whole other discussion.

The team is worth its value DESPITE Mikey, that is the point. There are only 32 teams in the league and the league generates enormous revenue so the team has a minimum value by default. It does matter what type of businessman he is because other owners see the value of their franchise go up when they win and build a consistent winner. Mikey will not do this - he has proven it over 30 years. This whole 'he wants to win' is a joke. He wants to make an annual profit. Period. His actions show this over and over. 

Everything he does is directed at ensuring some type of minimum annual profit, it is not based on franchise value. Part of his office 'cheapness' is not hiring enough qualified staff to build a winner - such as a GM.
