The last Johnson i remember is the bloke who played for the Pool and was in the 86 final, apparently he was involved in making some football boots or something.

Eric. We knew that, most had forgotten outside of our fanbase. Without a pile of cash he would not have come here. Z-Cars means nothing to him.

Big team is not static. Wolves used to be massive, what about now?

Is that their new Stadium?
....the Titanic had 'Liverpool' emblazoned on it's stern.
It's the net result of a systematic devaluation of our status under Moyes (knife to a gunfight, top ten is great for a club like Everton etc. etc.) and the woeful underachievement of Martinez in the last two years.
Sky have taught football fans that only their narrative and the present day matters, and this 'debate' proves as such, as the question 'Are Everton a bigger club than Southampton' should be answered, without hesitation, 'of course they are you idiot, why even ask?'
Even at our very worst in the 90s, we were always seen as a massive club doing really badly. Nowadays, we're seen as 'plucky little Everton', and it's more surprising when we do well.
This degrading of status is the reason I simply don't accept failure at Everton. When Martinez was obviously not the man for the job, the counter argument on here was 'who could we get to replace him though?' - like we couldn't possibly do better than him. My answer to that - 'why the hell wouldn't we replace him? We should never tolerate failure. We're Everton.'

Surely it's the John Stones Paint trophy ?

The Associate Members Cup/Football League Trophy or the version sponsored by Johnstones Paints is for tier 3 & 4 clubs.

Would that be their titanic struggle in the lower leagues?

well, we need to draw the line sometimes on these discussions.
Southampton are clearly not as big a club as Everton, anyone who knows anything about football will say so.
Spot on.
Everton were regarded as a "sleeping giant" until somewhere around the early years of the first decade of this century when the height of Moyes's ambition was to win the Forty Points Cup and then make sure no major mishaps occurred to dent his own image as being too good a manager to be stuck at Everton, awaiting the day he answered the calling he was "chosen" for.
Mate, I'm sure some of them know how to read
