in memoriam - 1961-2023
With Northampton Town about to be crowned Division Two Champions ONLY Coventry City - in terminal decline and Oldham Athletic - Of NINETY TWO Football League and Premier League clubs...

Have waited longer than Nine times Football League, Five times FA Cup winners and one-time European Cup Winners Cup winning Everton Football Club for either a trophy or a promotion..

Not bad eh?

Stoke City, Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday, Sheffield United, Bristol Rovers, Exeter City, Shrewsbury Town, Hartlepool United, Morecambe, Wycombe Wanderers, Colchester United, Leyton Orient, Rochdale, Bradford City and Oxford United have not won a trophy in the past 21 years but have won promotions. The remaining 74 teams have won a league or a cup or a play-off trophy.

Yeah. Let's get relegated so we can 'win' a promotion and get us off that list.

Sniff it Oldham and Coventry.

Yes, of course, I understand that but the point being made is every other club bar 2 has had a trophy or a day of celebration in the intervening period. Surely that proves our board needs to move its collective ass and do something about this inertia.
 

I don't think that is a fair comparison, most of those clubs have won promotion, we can't get promoted. I'd rather be in the top league from it's inception rather than being able to say we won the Championship.
I agree that we have gone far too long without a trophy but let's not compare our ability to win something with a 2nd division team gaining promotion. Things are bad enough.

The majority of those club's "days of celebration" have entailed promotion.

Which by its very nature was preceded by days of dank despair when they lost a relegation battle.

Or some have won trophies only open to teams in the lower leagues.

No thanks, but I will stick with our twenty odd years trophy drought over the achievements of Wycombe Wanderers, Leyton Orient or Hartlepool United during that period ;)

(and I bet Jeff Stelling would readily trade Hartlepool's last twenty two years for Everton's :))
