you quote only three managers that he was good enough for so by the same rule there are in fact thousands of managers who thought he was not good enough for
and the financial argument only comes to the fore once you make the decision that he isn't good enough to play
Brilliant. By your logic Scholes was really shit then as because he only played for one manager, none of the others must have rated him. Congratulations on the most ridiculous piece of reasoning I've possibly ever read.
The financial argument is the only argument. The fact is that if Barry was on £20,000 per week instead of £120,000 and had more than one year left on his contract he'd still be here.
Suggesting only 'armchair fans' rate Barry is also absurd as he's the antithesis to a Match of the Day player. He doesn't make the highlight reels because he does the dirty work, mopping up after everybody else, marking space to prevent the opposition creating attacks, and these things don't make the Match of the Day highlights. You can only really appreciate Barry when you see him live week in, week out.
Every pundit has commented on what a good piece of business it is by Everton and the following are just some articles that have been written about him:

It would appear you're in the minority.
