Because Liverpool fans are all a bit weird and unless they are bought by a gulf state they’re not going to be winning much in the current state of football either?

The kind thing is to let him go.
It’s a lifetime of disappointment, misery and downright boredom otherwise.
Leisure time is precious, life is short
Don’t put an Everton in it .

My little boy is 8 and, despite me not ever putting pressure on him, is supporting Everton. As mentioned in another thread he’s wrecked the place a couple of times after matches

He’s at that age when he loves particular players, like Ronaldo, Messi or Mbappe. I’m encouraging him to become a lifelong Real Madrid fan

If I had children or grand children I genuinely would not encourage them to support Everton.

I am sick of Dyche and sick of Everton's inability / incompetence to get rid and employ a manager who will play football you actually want to watch.

Where they celebrating Saturday?

If he wants to tell everyone in the playground he supports a winning team let him.

It’s easy to be a Liverpool / Man U and now Man City fan isn’t it? It doesn’t show any character though. He may as well choose Celtic if he just wants to brag about supporting a winning team.

I'm one of very few fathers who are super proud at the moment. My Son couldn't give two flyers about football. Must of learnt a life lesson from me about weekend depression continual swearing and just downright being a moody git. Monday comes and I'm all good again although at work

Once the ownership is more stable and we’re in the new stadium, things will hopefully start to look better. It’s all about survival and getting to that point in any way possible until that stage though.

Get him to support Man Utd or something.

I wouldn’t dream of spreading the disease of Everton to the unsuspecting. It’s literally worse than going in to a nursing home during the plandemic and coughing in peoples faces. Literally worse.

Even despite pre-season, I always approach a new season with renewed optimism that things are just going to click. To have it continually sucked from you after 6 games is exhausting. I wouldn't wish it on my kids. Luckily, not being from the area, there are other, more acceptable choices.

How's that even an improvement

Football as an open competition is long gone. From now on there will only ever be winners from the Sky 6 (although i'm probably giving Spurs too much credit and I don't think we'll see a repeat of the Leicester season). I would advise anyone not to engage in top level footy at all - go and support your local non-league team, you can pay at the door, it doesn't cost 50 quid or more, and it's a level playing field. If you absolutely have to support a premier league team then, sadly, you'd best pick one of the 6 (5?)

I envy your optimism. I sincerely hope you're right.
