And that's the punchline.
Everton being utter turd for 30 years under the disgraceful stewardship of Chairman Bill has knocked the fight out of everyone.
It's pointless.
I fear this may be the case.
For the last two seasons, the fans have given their/our all to support the team in the fight to maintain Premier League status.
The club, and particularly, the owner have failed miserably to match the ambition of successive numbers of ambitious players... Lukaku and Richarlison being the prime examples... and their complete and utter failure to do anything meaningful to help the manager could see us lose this third successive fight for survival.
