Sorry for the rant.
This is a fair point of view because at the end of the day we want Everton to do well. We're not doing well. We're just not getting the results. A draw is a point and it's not a loss. So we're getting the bare minimum. It seems to be acceptable for Dyche to keep his job. It's not acceptable for me I've already made up my mind on Dyche. But it's acceptable for the people/supporters who seem to be of the opinion just staying up until we get to Bramley Moore is what life is all about this season.
It's really dumb. It's scandalous. I don't know who is perpetuating this 'ideal'. But let's get one thing straight, we are NOT some yo-yo club that are happy to stay in the division we are not some lower league club content with survival. People out there are putting out this point of view it's even come from the football club themselves.
Let's be clear, Everton Football Club should be challenging for titles and if we're not we should be challenging Europe and trying to win trophies. This idea that that getting to BM is the end game is nonsensical. It means absolutely nothing. In the long term it might be a game changer for us but in the short term this is dissmissing this season as a waste, and it's highly irresponsible from people at this club if this is what they are suggesting (IE if this is what Sean Dyche's requirements are for the season from Thelwell).
I won't accept it. I hope most right minded Everton fans don't accept it either. The football club has put this spell on people and it comes from the Kenwright days, that we, Everton Football Club, do not challenge for titles and win trophies, that we are somehow there to just exist and make up the numbers.
When I say the Kenwright days, I mean the latter days. Kenwright in the earlier days with Moyes really did push us. But in his later days (without knowing the man personally) he clearly had a different mindset. It was just about clinging on to his position. Fast forward and we are a sad club with its guts strewn all over the place. As a result of the poor way the club has been run in recent years. Waiting. Waiting for TFG and waiting for BM. But in the meantime just going through the motions. Waiting. It's a slow death right now.
