A week of comments. A wealth of opinions. A world of Mourinho’s.
The appalling and heartless defeat at Stoke has prompted a situation at Everton that has yet to rear it’s head through David Moyes’ reign.
We, as fans, are divided. There are countless opinions of what is right, what is wrong and what is best for our club.
Some of us have turned rapidly into Jose Mourinho. We ‘Special Ones’ know what is right for the club. We know David Moyes inside out; his strengths, weaknesses, his thoughts, his fears. We can all but read his mind. We should run the club ourselves.
Some of us blame the board. David Moyes is not the problem. Mikel Arteta is not the problem. Nor is Tim Cahill, Phil Neville, the groundsman, the kitman or the stewards. One man is sinking this ship; Bill Kenright. He can’t run a business, he can’t run a football club. We ‘Lord Sugars’ know people who want to buy this club, between us we know thousands. Of these thousands, the majority are billionaires, with a love for football and would die for Everton. These people are begging to buy this club; and will stay for the long term to make us Champions again. Bill Kenright just doesn’t like them. We know Bill is a kopite.
A few of us blame the players, although the majority of us don’t really watch the team. Mikel couldn’t get into Chesterfields reserves. Tim Cahill is a kangaroo with no first touch. Pieanar should be forced to sign a contract or kicked out of the club. Phil Neville is not captain material. We ‘Maradonnas’ should be playing centre midfield with that armband.
Personally, I like to think of myself as a combination of the three above persona’s; a sort of Lord Jose Maradonna. My personal opinion differs from minute to minute; it has in fact changed a few times whilst writing this article.
I have sympathy for Moyes due to the fact he has no money yet I am constantly frustrated by his reluctance to bring on subs until the final few minutes.
I have sympathy for Bill Kenright, who seems to be getting a lot of the stick from the fans at the moment but stays strong to hold out for the best deal for Everton. Yet I am sick of us having no money and seeing teams like Blackburn being ‘invested in’.
I have sympathy for the players who aren’t getting a fair crack at the whip. Yakubu plays the best football he’s played for 2 years and then get’s dropped. Beckford comes on and makes an impact but still doesn’t get a prolonged run in the team. Yet we have a good a sqaud and if your not playing at top form you should be dropped.
In looking back at the past three paragraphs, I have to re-consider one word. Sympathy? Sympathy for people on £20,000+ a week, it just doesn’t make sense. But I’ll leave it in.
At this moment in time, my opinion doesn’t really matter. Unfortunately, neither does yours. None of opinions matter at the moment, what matters is getting our club through this increasingly sticky patch.
I can’t remember the last time I looked down at a league table and worried if West Ham winning would affect us. This is a distant memory, thanks to David Moyes and his players, and is something I take pride in.
I’m pretty happy that we’re not a sell out club, like 50% of Premier League clubs are. I like my club to be an honest, hard-working club, with passionate fans, players and a passionate manager. We have this, and this is also something I take pride in.
Pride. That is what Everton Football club is about. Some of you think Moyes is ripping it out of us. That is not true; I will always be a proud Evertonian. Why? Because, everytime I get myself down to Goodison, I am surrounded by 40,000 other proud Evertonians.
We are proud to be blue. We are proud to have fought relegation like dogs of war. We are proud to have been the first to break the Top 4. We are proud to have reached the FA Cup final. We are proud of our players. We are proud we’re not kopites, mancs, or glory hunters!
Until now, I have been proud to support a club that always supports it’s servants. We only have to look across the park to see a club in shambles, with fan’s trying to force their manager out yet again. Let’s not do that. Let’s stick by Mr Moyes and stick by Everton.
On Wednesday night, I will be the 12th man, and I hope you will join me, because I need you, David Moyes needs you, Bill Kenright needs you and the 11 players on the pitch need you. Everton FC well and truly needs you to stand up and be counted right now. We as fans, can turn this club round, and we as fans have a duty to do so after a very quiet season.
Let’s deafen Spurs and turn them over. Let’s chant song’s that have rarely been heard at Goodison this year and let’s turn Goodison back into the fortress we all know it can be. Opinions may be divided, but 40,000 must be united to get through this patch. We make this club, not the players, not the manager - the fans! So let’s show Spurs what we’ve got and remind the players, the manager and the chairman just what Everton FC is all about!
