I just wanna feel something again lad - for God knows how long I've felt the same numbness that sides like Crystal Palace and Southampton fans must feel - midtable 8th-14th nothingness.
Forget the drama queens we are too good to go down and are in no trouble currently regardless of our poor form/points tally likewise we are too poor to get to Wembley in a boss cup run, to a latter stage in Europe or fight for the top 4 spots.
And thats not just solely on the board/manager/players - UEFA/PL only care for the ESL clubs and rules such as FFP are designed to keep clubs like us in our box and 99% of the time it works as only Leicester have achieved anything outside that cabal and they haven't been able to increase their revenues in that time meaning at some stage they'll fall back into the midtable pack.
For a club of any league - being a midtable non entity is a nightmare.
You either want to have the highs of success or the adrenline rush of a 6 pointer encounter or great escape which is what football is all about - the all or nothing feeling that can't be beaten.
We have nothing and thats not going to change unfortunately so my advice to fellow Blues is dont let it get you down as I certainly have little interest in spending my time fuming at the club when come GW 38 we'll be where we always are.
We've historically been a side of battlers, even in the glory years, it wasn't necessarily pretty, but it was effective.
I think that's engrained in every Evertonian. The problem is, for the first time how long, we've been ran by people with wild ideas, and it's backfired. We went into "Win now" mode, and signed a load of players who've never won a pot in their life. We signed players who for whatever reason, were deemed not good enough by bigger sides, which ultimately is telling.
You can blame FFP, and you can blame whatever you want, but what? What do we do? Just continue pouring money down the drain? FFP is probably saving us right now, as it's stopping us blowing even more money than ever before.
We're midtable, we've got extremely average players - on high wages too, and we blew our opportunity. We went Off-Piste from our very effective model of signing players which served so well for years, and it's came back to bite us.
I get you completely, I miss the thrills of being competitive, it's not happened a lot in my lifetime, but when it does, it's great.
I honestly had a boss two weeks of no Everton, and now i'm fuming for the same old reasons. 6 different managers, same level of effort. £500m wasted, without as much as 6 decent players. Millions wasted in wages on duds like Bolasie, Tosun, who are free to walk away.
We're soft, and unless we change that mentality, which has unsurprisingly went hand in hand with us, since Blue Bill came in, we'll never see any remote form of success.
