There is a concern Everton won't adapt very well in the championship. It could prove a bit of a culture shock to some of our overpaid and underperforming players. Games may be tougher than expected due to teams wanting to generate valuable publicity, from beating such a long-serving top-flight club!
Our boardroom, DOF, and coaching staff will have to demonstrate a different skill set in order to flourish in the championship. This is something not many Evertonians have seen evidence of in the last few years. Gigantic decisions will have to be made on contracts, recruitment, and the continuous development of the stadium.
It's very difficult to forecast how Everton would do one division lower but I don't think anybody would be surprised if we struggled. You have to understand a lot of clubs that go down are seasoned veterans. They know what it means and have experience of how to get on top of things. I'm concerned that if we do drop Everton will continue to make daft decisions on and off the pitch which may unfortunately drag us down even deeper.
After watching Forest win last night I've decided to go out tonight and avoid anything to do with the match. The barcodes were excellent against Spurs and are the perfect example of where we should be as a club after all the investment we've had in playing staff. I will check the score tomorrow morning. If by some miracle we win I'll weep like a baby into my cornflakes and kick myself for not watching it. The truth is though I can't put myself through the wringer to watch another 90 minutes of this utterly uninspiring gaggle of pretenders mug us all off yet again.
