Honestly, I'm hacked off with the state of Everton and I keep winding myself up by comparing us to other clubs with shambolic owners / boards and fortunes in recent times.
Sunderland in my view are THE benchmark for long term idiocy. Spending bit on crap, racing through managers like mad, increasingly angry fans, successive relegations. The Kings.
QPR and Cardiff were magnificently ruined by seriously mad owners (Tony Fernandes and Vincent Tan take a bow), bad transfers and managerial choices. Special shout to Tan for changing the club strip.
Man City dropping several divisions was spectacular and set the model for Sunderland to emulate. Prior to their fortunes changing spectacularly, of course.
The Geordies under Ashley were all over the shop with suitable fan fume too. To the point I was convinced Ashley was trolling them.
As for us, we'll, we've got the idiosyncratic owner. The board are now, according to some, goading the fans. We've peed money up the wall. We've got long suffering and increasingly angry fans in spades.
Are we the most shambling embarrassment? I'd argue not, but we're mighty close.
