When Did The Rot Set In?

[BlueAmigo]

Imagine thinking the rot started with 7 months of Benítez and not 30 years of Kenwright . Anyone who actually thinks this please DM me and I'll pay for an opticians appointment.

3-0 Middlesbrough, Smith's last game.

3-0 Middlesbrough, Smith's last game.

He had to go then, that was a bad period but don't forget it wasn't all bad under Smith, plenty of classic games in a short period of time, Sunderland on boxing day, Anfield, several 4 0 home wins too, but that cup game was bad and the allocation that day was massive.

I’ve supported Everton since the mid 80s and I’m from wolves, sure the rot set in from then, must be jinxed

Kenwright was on the board before the Prem league started. We were at the top table then, driving things because our status snd size were indisputable. Our board then did the least to maintain or grow that status of all our rival clubs. They delivered comfortably the least in terms of new infrastructure off ALL clubs. Financially our income and investment flatlined for decades, while all around us expanded their stadia and commercial incomes. We were run like a corner shop surrounded by supermarkets, then hypermarkets. We were left behind.... because we were rank amateurs with a chairman who cared nothing more than to control his toy.... at all costs. The list of failures and supporting lies are endless. This has been decades in the making, and is the result of serial failures and poor decisions. Moyes papered over the cracks for years and an absolute fortune in Russian cash was thrown at it under the same chairman..... why is anyone surprised?

Was it not Carter who was chairman when PL was formed?

Heysel then kenwright as chairman then moyes leaving. Martinez was an illusion then Moshiri comes in and it starts going very wrong really quickly with Everton getting every major decision badly wrong

Around about 1878.
Once born death is a certainty.
It’s usually a blessing the date remains unknown.

Was it not Carter who was chairman when PL was formed?

Yes... but Kenwright was on the board too.

That terrible summer window under Koeman.

Rot set in with kenwright. Pushing the ‘plucky little Everton’ garbage.

Putting framed pictures everywhere of us scraping survival and celebrating it - how far we have fallen under his watch.

This idiots ego has held this club back and he needs to go, never ever welcome at Everton again.

Take the other underperforming out of their depth goons with him.

The problem was Moyes hid all the problems for 10 years and my generation (started watching in 95) couldn't believe we were now challenging in the top half of the table. We shouldn't have settled for that but we did because all we'd known was relegation battles and failure.

We never replaced Lukaku
