[Skeleton Crew]

Silverware is silverware and it ALL looks sexy it the display case.

Correct.

 

[teppic]

Getting the Europa League is no good as playing in it totally undermines our ability to qualify for the Europa League.

QED

Ever's a long time, mate.

He's got a point, I feel like I've waited for ever to witness Everton winning a trophy.

Yeah but City were third division ten years ago. You're saying that our fortunes won't change in the next sixty years, or the next hundred, or the next two hundred.

I bet Chelsea never saw it coming in the 80s. Or Villa in the 60s.

City had a ready made stadium for them, we won't be that lucky.

Villa in the 60s and Chelsea in the 80s was when football was a different world entirely.

I'll come back to you when Anzhi Makhachkala win it.

 

[Brennan]

I'll come back to you when Anzhi Makhachkala win it.

And that has precisely jack to do with Everton's position

this....

 

[Goat]

Im shocked that some fans think we will NEVER win big ears, at the moment, its VERY unlikely, but we are only a few 100m away from doing, it could happen overnight!!!

 

[bobafro]

as i mentioned in another thread we are 25th in the world in terms of club value (granted Utd are still about 5 times that) so it would not be a big leap for Everton to start competing at the highest levels. Remembering that qualification gives us a massive leap in revenue, as long as we continue to be sensible with player wages I think we can steadily improve....

How so? The point I'm making is that we always assume that the current trends will last forever and they never do. I remember when we were told confidently that a london club could never win the league or that the top 4 would never be broken or that Rangers would always be at the top of scottish football.

The truth is you can't predict football more than ten years in advance. They'res no guarantee that come 2032 Man Utd won't have gone out of business, the chinese owned Sheffield Utd won't be winning titles and the russian league won't be dominating the CL.

Saying ever or never while talking about clubs who may endure for another 100 or 200 years is just foolish.

I'd love it cos it's a good competition once the crazy groups are out the way.

Others may not think we're the biggest club in the world but I'd bet my last pound that we'd outnumber virtually any side we played in the final minimum 2-1. Reminds people the stature of our club. You also get to play the super-cup which would be amazing to see us in.
