I have been a supporter of Everton Football Club since before 1968, I can’t remember the 1966 Cup Final but I remember the disappointment of Jeff Astle scoring the winner in 1968. I am going to Goodison one more time, it will be before Christmas, and that will be me finished. This Everton is not my Everton, I have not moved away from the team, they have moved away from me. Unless they come back to me I think I am done, this empty shell of a club is not the Everton that touched me and my father. While Kenwright and Moshiri are destroying a football dynasty they are also trampling on an ideal, we were different but now we are just another failing football club. These two charlatans have broken a dream and I for one think they don’t even realise they are doing it. Shame on them.

Pretty much this. My eldest is carrying the torch now, and I feel guilty as a result.
I would argue that Kenwright and Moshiri both know exactly what they're doing but aren't aware of what each of them are doing.

I agree with everything you say ,but the club or the club I grew up with has a weird hold on me I honestly feel I would be happier person if professional football didn't exist .
I hate what the club/ football has become I pick my games now I have been a season ticket for many years but had to let my ticket go but to be honest I dont really enjoy going the game, I was at the Fulham and Wolves games and will attend the Luton game as it is my 69th birthday and a couple of weeks shy of 60 years since I first went into Goodison Park. Over the years I have been in ever part of Goodison and will be in the lower bullens the last time I was in there was the Bayern game in 1985.
