But it's not relegation that terrifies me. Something has changed in these last few days and we look like a club on the brink of all out civil war.
I'm kind of used to us being clueless on the pitch and clueless in the boardroom too, but those various highly publicised events that have hit the news since yesterday shows that the fans too really don't know which direction they want to pull in order to achieve success and are just choosing to lash out at anyone they can instead.
Doesn't seem to matter who we appoint, as some faction won't like it and will be prepared to shout loud and long about it too. Goodison has always been full of angry heads who you learn to let just get on with it, but it's getting to the point now where you are scared to voice your support or disdain for anyone or anything for fear of the reaction it might bring from someone near you.
I also think some of those great unifying figures that we have liked to rally round in the past, like Ferguson, Baines, Possibly Cahill if he chooses to become a part again, could fall victim to it too.
We look on the brink of absolute collapse and I haven't got a clue what it will take to stop it now.
