It was a 666 month contract first agreed in late 1958 and, as you know, the deal included the appointment of Bill Shankly which was confirmed just over a year later. It seems that the agreement was subject to significant staged increases in payment for which Satan ensured continuous success. The milestones were every 15 years or so.. in 1973 the second part of the contract was sealed with the agreement to replace Bill with Bob. In 1984 it was agreed that Kenneth Dalglish, another addled Scotsman, would succeed Lord Bob's temporary successors. Successes followed each appointment with trophies and much glee across the globe. The fourth and final stage of the contract was the arrival of the Dark Lord Stevie Me who lead the hordes to glory on the crusade to Istanbul.
As every Evertonian knows the contract expired on April 26th 2014 after 666 months - on the eve of St Slippy's Day. We now know that all subsequent near misses by the RS is Lucifer demonstrating to the Fenway Group that they should have agreed a new contract and that he has now accepted the Petrodollars on offer from the Etihad.
