Probably play it behind closed doors if thatā€™s where we are - they wouldnā€™t let us near the place/players I donā€™t think - weā€™ve already got a bad rep for headlocking CEOs, pitch invasions, chasing players & volleying players cars etc.

Disgusting to be even thinking it tbh - this owner and board have so much to answer for.

Funny you should say that... I've heard a rumour that Everton are working with the police/league to get the Bournemouth game played behind closed doors.

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.

Can you imagine if we needed to win that game to survive and they played behind closed doors, then we lost ( without the great fan support). Wouldnt put it past Kenwright.

I think it's more a case of planning for if (when) we are down before that game. If there's still something to play for they would no way play it behind closed doors.

Wonder if they would put it behind closed doors if they needed a win and to make up a massive goal differential? Has anything like a behind closed doors game ever happened because of angry fans?
 
@theesk has been number-crunching again about what the effect relegation would have on us financially.

It doesn't make for particularly pleasurable reading but, in the event the Blues do take the drop, it's better that we have a clear picture now of the potential ramifications.

The ā€œRā€ word and its financial consequences

With five games of the season to go, at the time of writing, Everton sit in 19th place and for the first time since 1951 face the prospect of relegation from the top division of English Football. Iā€¦

There's a lot of complaining about the fans being "painted in a bad light" etc by the headlock thing, the situation after Southampton outside the stadium etc.

But can anyone here say that, if we are already down and Bournemouth have got enough points to stay up, that allowing fans in on the last day would be a good idea? We all know how bad it'll be, and what could potentially happen in and around the stadium. Not a good look really.

That said, not sure transferring the problem to the city centre helps either

Sadly, there just may not be a winning option. Stay up and you still have a roster filled with garbage, huge debt, huge expense and no cheap ready young talent to tilt it back. Go down and the financial issues are much worse but maybe that is the impetus to strip the building to the studs and rebuild while getting rid of all the people that caused this to happen, including the owner who will still be rich enough selling the team at a deep discount to survive. The name and history has too much value for others not to try to invest money to save it. But unless their Academy guys are far better than it looks, they probably are down for several years to get into a position to reboot it.
