What has been your lowest point supporting Everton?

The holier than thou's bang on about fans doing this and that with nothing but some tik tok and hearsay as proof. The appetite shown by such tory moles is indicative of the new social media world and social media justice system we try to make our way through. Never let the rats make us turn on one another. They envy our unity, everyone of them a paid up thatcherite.
 

Think yesterday was it.

We’ve plenty to choose from, but I think the realisation of what a mess the club is in added to what’s looking like certain relegation and another managerial failure has managed to surpass anything previous to it.

Only this club could manage to be in the verge of an exciting new stadium venture and balls everything else up to completely ruin the joy.
 
The Bournemouth demolition a few months ago and fans fighting with each other and shorts being thrown onto the pitch.

Allardyce mangala debut in a back 5 at the emirates. 3 nil down at half time. Torrential rain. Or the Norwich 2 nil loss at goodison. Trains down, 120 quid on a 14 hour journey

Yesterday.
 

I've been a fan since 1980. We've had some historic highs in the time since - mainly in the first seven years of that timeline - and plenty of lows. The highs speak for themselves, but the lows include the 6-2 hammering at Villa in late 1988, I believe, and the early 1990s decline that was never really arrested until Joe Royle temporarily reversed the trend. The Walter years were generally atrocious - the worst I've seen (I ignore the Mike Walker months because there was no sense in that time that his tenure was remotely sustainable). With Walter, however, Kenwright was now calling the shots and inertia was his modus operandi. So, for me, Walter was the worst period - the time after he had Duncan and his better players sold out from under him. Prior to that, he had done reasonably well.

Since then, Moyes's years were generally all about impoverished respectability and managed decline. In this period, we were no longer a top club. Kenwright sold this as some form of perverse "progress". After Walter - who he stuck by a good 18 months too long - almost anything was. Method in his madness. Moyes could only look like an improvement. To his credit, he was. But not enough for somebody who had seen Everton as the best in Europe... The sale of Rooney will always be my darkest day. It was confirmation of our second-rate status. I grew up with us battering Man United twice in one week. I used to laugh at them. And here we were selling our future to them for a pittance... That was the lowest.

In more recent years, I think we are currently enduring a new low. The current side is really poor. The manager looks helplessly lost. The club is drifting towards the panacea of a new stadium. Compared to Smith and Moyes, Lampard has been showered with resources. But his results are hardly better than even Smith's. In Walter's day, the fans knew it to be untenable. And when he had money he tended to buy well. He could spot a player, Walter. Today, the club is at such a low that some still passionately campaign for this manager. Even if this is understandable in some way after the chaos of the last six years, it seems utterly self-defeating to me. We look like a club that is primed for relegation. So, yeah, I think this is a low. In the Walter years, we consoled ourselves with the thought that if we could just get some investment... Today? We've seen investment. It was squandered. Now, only a great manager could seriously improve us. And how many of those are out there and willing to come?
Agree with everything you say here. We need a manager who can make this pile of garbage dance to his tune. Only a manager of the highest c ad liber would have the slightest chance of success. I think we’re destined for relegation but as always Inlive in hope.
 
This for me right now feels the worst I remember Wimbledon and Coventry but this feels worse feels hopeless we can’t even say we’ve got a good manager who can get a bad team out of trouble or a talisman in the team like richalison who,ll step up and drag them to safety there’s just nothing
 
The moment the club employed Benitez was a line in the sand moment for me. It was such a slap to the face that It was the day I finally understood that its not my club anymore. Its a plaything for Moshiri, Kenwright and their creatures on the board. I emotionally detached myself that day and have never quite got back the feeling I had prior to it. I still go almost every game both home and away and still feel joy/despair after a win/loss but its just not the same to me anymore. I don't think it will ever feel the same again, it certainly won't ever feel like it used to while the vermin that control the club are around.
