We're witnessing a new Everton, although to be more accurate a return to the old Everton which achieves what it sets out to achieve and is prepared to pay the costs of doing so.
The last two and a half decades of making do, of getting by, of survival on limited means is over. We will not suddenly become the richest club in the Premiership, far from it, but we will be true to our past and true to our ambitions and we have a major shareholder/ owner-to-be who is prepared to back us to achieve those ambitions.
We've paid off an under-achieving manager before he could inflict too much damage (we might have done it earlier but for the legacy of the old power base, now rendered impotent), we've sought and obtained the manager who Moshiri believes is the right person at a cost that would make the previous regime wince.
The next steps are to secure the DoF appointment and start the recruitment process for summer acquisitions - we should all be very positive - remember "be careful what you wish for" - that thinking has gone, we've a great time ahead.
