Probably the best thing about Buffett was his admission of his shortcomings - he wasn't a manager, or adminstrator, of companies - he thought he could do it, blew it, and learnt from the experience.

He was a damned fine investor, a very good eye for a bargain (that would later turn into a goldmine).

I get that people have opinions on that, but I'm not too fussed about the player, when it's the game that they should be focussed on.
