If we get linked with the likes of Welbeck it will be a while yet before that trend changes
1995-2020 = the longest barren spell without silverware in Everton's history

It's inevitable that there would be some hand wringing over it. But the facts are, we ain't won a bean since '95. This club has been a sleeping giant far too long, and if it wakes up and finds itself as a nothing club, it has only itself to blame,

A better day would have been at the end of the season in 1996, or 1987. We've been unaware of (or unable to do anything at) any of the signs as a club that heralded our decline from the top.
Time to draw the line now Everton.

It’s sad and annoying it takes Liverpool to win something for us to realise that laughing at them is great but what we all want is Everton to be the best.
Shame that some of people involved with the club don’t care or aren’t capable.

It won't go down well with his fans, but I put so much on that beaut Moyes for our lack of success during this drought.
During his 11 years he said many times his focus was on the league and not the cup competitions which probably explains our shambolic record overall in cups during his tenure here.
It was a complete disgrace for a club of this statue that it took him until the 2007/08 season, nearly SIX years after he got the job, that we even reached a quarter final under him.
In interviews he many times tried to control the expectations of the fans and told us we shouldn't really expect success and his attitude was we should be grateful for what he was doing here. Plus he was working under a 'Chairman' who had no aspirations of success (and still doesn't) they really were a match made in heaven for each other.
The likes of Wigan, Birmingham, Middlesboro, Portsmouth and Swansea all won a major trophy during the Moyes years so it has to be asked why couldn't he? It's not like we had a succession of crap teams.

He's been gone 6 years, so if it was his fault, and since we have been spending money, and as they are so easy to come by.... Where are all our trophies since?
We didn't win one for 7 years before him either... ffs Moyes.

Newcastle won nothing either in that time, and they had Shearer. Leeds had Kewell, Viduka, Ferdinand, and didn’t win a pot either. Much better sides than us, won nothing.
Go through Moyes’s teams over 11 seasons. Name the truly quality players. It’s not a very long list. The team was always much greater than the sum of its parts. We were a dour, defensively sound well drilled team throughout his time at the club, able to eek out draws/nick wins to mass enough points to be upper mid table for most of his reign.
We lacked real attacking quality which wins you cups. James Beattie, Andy Johnson, Anichibe, big Dunc, Radzinski, Jelavic, a crocked Saha...not exactly an elite band of forwards. Osman in the side for a decade. Bar a raw kid in Rooney, and moments of Lukaku, there has been a lack of quality going forward.

Laughing at them (feelings of utter revulsion toward them is the dominant emotion for me like) and wanting Everton to win trophies again are separate issues. I was laughing at them at the end of last season's CL final and after this season's PL ended, but it didn't stop me from knowing that the owners of our own club are the enemy.
Liverpool are just a creepy organisation supported by pond scum for the most part - they are based also in this city and that's the extent of it. That's all. They are rivals but not the REAL enemy. The real enemy are people who own Everton and have no ambition or intention of seeing a once great club and giant of the English game back where it belongs. And Everton supporters in enough volume have always gone along with them and offered no challenge in 25 years of failure. Kopites, United fans, Arsenal fans etc would have smashed any regime(s) who ever dared keep them from success for that length of time...and rightly so.

To follow on from my comment about lacking in attacking quality:

“It is fair to say Everton do not have a rich history of known goal-scorers during the Premier League era. Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, James Beattie, Arouna Kone and Louis Saha all failed to make significant impacts whilst playing for the Toffees, but players like Romelu Lukaku, Wayne Rooney and Samuel Eto have also blessed the turf of Goodison Park.
Here's a look at the five players who have scored over 40 goals for Everton in Premier League history...”
Eto’o may have graced the pitch, shame he was finished. Osman is the fifth highest scorer for the club in the PL era. Decent players in Kevin Campbell and big Dunc 4th and 2nd.
We need much greater quality to win pots.

If this happened and I mean IF we would have another powerhouse to deal with.
Everton’s chances of being relevant again is narrowing

Everton will always be relevant. Not only to Evertonians. We are an institution. Never forget that.
It will make our chances of success decrease further - if Leeds ever get back in the big time. Villa are the real threat in that respect.
