I don't think so.
Many of us put the New Year slump down to the emergence of the "contract negotiations" issue which reared its head in January and the seaon started going south.
Those of us whom pointed out this self evident truism were derided and told it made no differemce.
We now know that it made a tremendous difference as the manager's mind was elsewhere, because negotiations for this ascent to the OT throne didn't just start this morning with the Fergie announcement.
IMO they have been ongoing for several months now to the detriment of Everton FC.
Moyes unsettled the club in the midst of what was looking a very promising campaign.
This is now irrefutable.
But it appears a done deal now and I for one feel relieved that is is all but over and I look forward to next season with a great deal more enthusiasm than I was twenty four hours ago.
There is one matter I think should be cleared up, though.
It's obvious David Moyes's mind is a million miles away from Everton right now and I don't think he should be involved in theam selection or tactics for our final two games.
Let Sheedy and Stubbs pick the team.
I think that would be a bit of fun.
