How did this all happen?

Well in 1878 someone created a football club on top of an ancient sacred burial ground. The bodies were dug up and their bones were used for posts (another Everton first) and skulls as decorative goblets for supporters to drink out of.

Some say when this happened we were cursed forever. But it was actually when Moshiri dissed Lukaku's mum is when the gates of hell were really unleashed on us.

Actually there was sewer underneath the Kop, I don’t know if it was there when Everton played at Anfield, it was discovered when the Kop was altered for the all seating arrangement.

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.

What a post

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.

*record scratch*

You're probably wondering how we ended up here...

But Anfield wasn't our first stadium and it couldn't possibly have had a burial ground under it. I know this for a fact because quite simply no one would want to be seen dead in it...

It started with a hug
 
OK so what happened was, 7-year old me thought it would be a good idea to try and address the rather lopsided balance of reds to blues on the playground. Unfortunately, everything I touch turns to shid, so that is why Everton are in this mess.

Last league title 2 years before I was born, one trophy in my whole lifetime and none since I started following Ev.

It's all my fault guys. I mean, just listen to some of the kopites carrying on - they always speak the truth of course. Anyone would think I allowed that fourth goal vs Brighton, not a Senegalese has been.

Oh and anyone remember that time I let Origi win the derby with some wacky goalkeeping? Yeah terrible keeping goal for Everton that day wasn't I?

It's not just football where I'm a reverse Midas either. My exes, since splitting up have (to my knowledge, but through no doing of my own)

1. Married a Charlie Adam lookalike
2. Ended up in a battered women's shelter
3. Turned lesbian
4. Gone insane (like proper sectioned and everything)
5. Given up to just be a cat lady

So there we are. I'm obviously toxic waste in human form. Really should top myself frankly, but I haven't got the balls to do it.

Whatever happens though, I must make a note never to support a team again once Everton go extinct, with the exception of Freiburg this season, as I earn 340 bigguns if they somehow win the title.

Quite the ride that mate.

I threw my back out slipping in the kitchen earlier?

Bill Kenwright's aspirations for mediocrity nad a love of the plucky underdog spanning a couple of decades. Fail to reach mediocrity and you start circling the drain
