We are gone. I've been an Evertonian for over 45 years and these past years have been like watching an elderly parent deteriorate to the point were you know it's only a matter of time, and that time has come.
The future is unknown. I've no idea what an Everton team looks like in the EFL. I'm in shock. The fact we didn't go down years ago under Kenwright is soley down to the spirit, reputation and history of the club.
We talk about teams like Man.City, Newcastle, West Ham, Villa and Leeds, as being teams who have witnessed relegation, but those clubs (except Villa) were never flush with success or recognised as one of the big 5 when they were relegated. We have fell from a great height. Our peers were Liverpool, Man.Utd, Arsenal and Spurs, when Kenwright took over. Those four clubs have continued to to stay at the top.
What Kenwright has been allowed to do to Everton Football Club is criminal.
We have a generation of fans who have known nothing but Kenwrights Everton. The Everton I know, the Everton that our Dads, Grandads and great Grandads knew and helped to build is unrecognizable to me today. One man, and only one man, is responsible. The Bill Kenwright version of Everton has been neglected beyond comprehension.
He took over Everton, knowing full well he didn't have the resourcers to be the clubs custodian, but he had his train set, his vehicle to further satiate his need for limelight. He has bypassed golden opportunitues to do the right thing by the club and fans, delivered nothing but lies and false promises, sold the best English talent we have produced for buttons, sold some great players to keep the banks away, all so he can keep his grubby hands on the keys. He didn't us a billionaire. He found a fool with money who would line his pockets and at the same time allow him to keep the keys and continue to take a wedge of money out of the club. We stood and watched, year on year, knowing what he was. Sorry for the rant.
