...we have at least stayed in the top flight when others fell away. I take a positive from that.
Who would you say are the people who deserve credit for that?.

I blamed the Heysel atrocity as a key part of our downfall. But that was a long time ago now and there have been plenty of chances to return ourselves to the elite which we have only our board to blame. Mostly our fall from grace is of our own creation.
We need a winner's ruthless mentality instilled at every level in the club if we want to be considered the best. How you do this without sacrificing that essential Evertoness that makes us special? I don't know, but if we do then watch out world.
I hope that the Moshiri era brings about the success we all want. This time we seem to be within touching distance...
thank Mr Segers allegedly and the ref at the Bolton away game for that mate
That ref at the Bolton game missed a clear foul on Southall before the ball crossed the line.
Indeed.
Heysel was the catalyst for the decline due to the unfulfilabilty of the promise the club had back then.
But as you imply, it does not account for the appalling mismanagement we suffereed in the 1990s when we should have been kicking on with United, Arsenal and the RS when the Sky/EPL gravy train started showering untold riches on the elite, most successful clubs in this country.....which very much included EFC in those days.
Look at Chelsea.
People point to Abramovich as the game changer for them....but he merely gilded what was fast becoming a very successful Lilly.
That club was transformed in the early 90s when Matthew Harding came on board.
Chelsea got Matthew Harding.....we got Peter Johnson
Says it all.
That was a good read I really enjoyed that. I think it was a very balanced and well thought of article
