This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.
It's me all over that. Can't handle much more of the "watch this space" spin followed by penny pinching, selling to buy and a squad that gets smaller almost every year.
We've overachieved for so long, given the net spend and squad size, but at times, some of the football we've played & the tonkings we've dished out, it's been a pleasure. In spite of the fact this current overachieving spell is really an underachievement considering where I believe we should be, I've enjoyed it, because we looked like we were defying the system. We were torch bearers for every club who couldn't spunk silly money. Then we hit the brick wall that was this season.
Suddenly, crap sides are "parking the bus" and we're struggling to put things to bed. Coupled with indifferent form of certain players, watching Everton has been like torture. Not because we've not played decent footy, it's often been good, but because there seems to be no euphoric ending.
When we were crap & skint, I could handle it. Now we're better than half decent and skint, maybe my expectations of a club that has won 9 league titles are too high? Or that of the board is too low?
Anyway, I'm chocca with the board. Surely, they must be chocca with the grief? Please, Mr Jesus, come and save Everton and bring a few quid.
