How did this all happen?

[Detritus.]

As an non Everton fan but someone with a soft spot for the club how the hell did all this happen? What was the timeline?

With my club (Leeds) it was in all the papers and press so we all know how we fell apart, but this has seemingly gone under the radar to a lesser extent.

I'm not here to have a go or a laugh at your expense, I'm genuinely curious as to what the normal everyday Everton fan thinks.

Honestly?

The apathy of the wider fanbase.

We've allowed Kenwright to take the absolute piss since the early 2000s. We've KNOWN he's probably talking crap every time he speaks, but we have just accepted a steady decline under his chairmanship.

I'd say so many are angry today because they feel stupid for allowing Kenwright to mug them off for so long.

More and more are waking up to the fact that he doesn't give a crap about the club, he's a vain, desperate old man looking for the adulation of 1000s as though he's our number 9.

He didn't spend a penny of his own money whilst the majority shareholder, trousered a fortune when selling and convinced our current owner that he's the best man to run it for him.

Luckily his days are numbered, but the damage is done. We'll be lucky to survive this fight, even luckier to bounce back.

Bill is friends with lots of the media which has played it down. There has been discontent for 20 years that’s basically come to a head.

I think that's the crux of the matter money talks and we the normal fan can't out talk it.

If you see something you love being systematically destroyed from within, you make a noise but if that noise is in an echo chamber then how do you win?

Most if not all on here only what what is best for your club as all fans do and you see it time and time again fans talking logical stuff but not being listened to.

Even if you changed management both on and off field the damage looks like it is terminal for this season.

Hope is a great and terrible thing yet it's the hope that keeps you returning season after season but conversely it's hope that makes you feel the worst this sport can make you feel because it's in your heart.

Do you honestly think there is a way forward without dropping a division?

Very brief overview but touches on some of the trigger points.

There is honestly a butt-tonne of further lies and deceptions beyond what's within that thread but it'll give you a decent appreciation.

The happy-clappers shouting down all dissent.

And thank you for the replies, as I said I'm not here to take the piss, I appreciate the effort and time it took you to reply.

Honestly, from an outsider perspective it probably seems like this is coming out of the blue (no pun intended but I'll take it) but this has been going on since King's Dock fiasco about 20 years ago. He NEVER should have remained chairman after that absolute crap.

Yes, that's a good point if you suddenly get 9 points things don't look as bad as they do and things that shouldn't be put aside are.

It's a crap point; a lot of us have been falling out of love with this club years.

More chance of a 5ft woman being put in a headlock and 40k people all looking the other way at the same time.
