93/94 was pretty awful to say the least, Howard quit after the Dion Dublin transfer went to [Poor language removed], Jimmy Gabriel came in as caretaker which saw some dreadful performances/results. Mike Walker came in, a dodgy draw away at Bolton in the cup and a 6-2 win over Swindon...then it went to pieces to put it mildly. Of course it finished with us staying up against Wimbledon, terrible season.
As others have said, something is off with the club but I have felt this for years, even during Moyes' period it didn't feel like Everton to me, it felt more like Bill Kenwright FC, the up and at em attitude and feeling like as Moyes once put it "knife to a gun fight"..I didn't like that at all, yes there was some solid league placings but when it mattered most to step up, we never did, just look at the away record under the "top four" or whatever it is, dreadful, minnows stuff. That record is still woeful.
I dunno, maybe it's me, I'm the problem, in the sense that I have misunderstood what Everton should be or was. I feel for the younger ones growing up during a monotonous period for the club, would love them to have something genuinely great to cheer about at some point.
