It might have escaped your notice whilst you are trying to be funny(you're not btw) but the majority are slightly aggrieved by the situation.

....I keep banging on about the status quo in the City and we are very much in our place. It doesn't help the mood that the Reds are looking so good whilst we are distinctly average.

Only optimistic Everton fans will attempt to read between the lines and look for the heavily disguised compliments. The rest of them - the opposition fans, the rags, the agents and the potential targets - will read it as a damming indictment on the club, a belittling statement that confirms what we already know: that we're little more than a footnote in football history, and a modern day irrelevance.
Of course we know Rom has the potential to be successful at a top club, and I certainly wouldn't hold it against him if he goes next summer, but for god's sake Ron, have a think about subtext before you open that massive gob of yours. 'oooh, the Dutch aren't known for being tactful!', they say. Fine, bar him from speaking then.
Been thinking this for a while so.....
This is spot on btw, I know loads of Blues who say they don't care how they are doing but I can tell everyone right now it 100% winds me up no end seeing them top of the pile whilst we are looking like a pub side. If we are doing well you tend not to notice them as much but when we are in a slump and they are doing well it makes matters a whole lot worse.
On the cusp of an int. break.
Gotta take the rough with the smooth - feels a little rough at the moment eh? It'll be turned around.

Something uttered countless times in the latter days of Martinez, whilst awkwardly looking over one's shoulder and perspiring profusely.

The atmosphere around the club in his last two seasons was the worst I've ever experienced as a fan, I'm too young to remember the mid-90s. The stench of him is still lingering around the place and won't be shifted for a while yet.

Quite, but it took far longer than it should've done to get rid of him, and there were many clinging to the vain hope that things would turn around. They never did.
What I'm getting at, is things aren't going to be rosy all the time.
I don't think any of us are looking over our shoulder. Separate issue from Martinez' situation entirely. I recall most of us wanting him sacked rather than wanted him to stay and turn it round.

I think right now a lot of love for the clujb is being lost to a certain extent, simply because the past 5-6 years has finally caught up to us. It is hard to believe you are amazing when you lose to bournmouth and burnley without much of a fight!
This summer plays a massive part in this though unfortunately. It was the first point since summer 2014 and certainly the first real point since the 80s where we all believed that the club was turning a corner and things was going to improve. Yet......The same old routine kicked in. Sell to buy, not signing anyone actually better than what we had, a certain name still being heavily involved with the club dealing despite apparently not having control anymore, just a massive let down.
When the first few games went by and we all saw positives in the games compared to the martinez era, there was plenty of optimism in all honesty before we turned up to play norwich, then the house of cards came tumbling down. We then got a massive reality check into how bad the squad really is, how little flexibility we have and how that summer really needed to be better than what it was. Right now we have very little cover in key areas, which is the same as every other year and nothing has addressed it. No CM back up, no adequate striker back up, the same players injured again, it really is the same season again and again. I think even this reflects in Koeman right now as he knows how much his hands are tied and it must be hard to change a team when you don't have any players to do it.
We started all this with the tag 'nothing will ever be the same', except nothing has changed, and we are meant to be appreciative of it. At least Koeman at southampton could build a squad after they sold to buy, here he bought the bare minimum that the squad needed and nothing more.
Only way this is going to change is by the board finally backing the manager and signing players that will improve us overnight, dare i say starting with rooney if that is on. We need winners, battlers, team players. That is what we lack and it reflects onto the mood of the fans as well because against norwich/burnley/chelsea/bournemouth you could see the team never had a chance of coming back, the fight was missing.
I do believe that Koeman, given the right resources can take us back into europe, but in comparison, the board have let the manager down so much, just like every other year, and as fans that is starting to kill any optimism we could possibly have in the future. When you get taken over by a billionaire after so many years and nothing changes, it's just everton that.
Totally incorrect, but okay.
I'm sure he'll be gutted.
