Will this ever change?

The last time I wasn't waiting for it all to go wrong was 1985. I've supported Everton since 1975. In that time the club has consistently let me down. However, the worst period was probably the early 1990s. These days I hope for the odd decent performance. I did let myself get a bit excited when we got Ancelotti, as I'd been advocating him since Moshiri took over, but that soon passed!
 

We should have gone for a long term coach in graham potter and let him build a style of play that started right at the bottom and fed the club right through to the first team.
And i mean long term. No guarentee it would have worked. But id rather go down that road to the previous 6 or 7 years of trying instant fixes. It hasnt worked.
They key to a long term coach like potter though is patience. Something you just dont get anymore. But i fear we'll be in the same situation in another 6 or 7 years. Wasted years. The clubs got no strategy whatsoever. No vision.
I'd still grab potter while the chance is there. He's a visionary coach. The club needs that direction.

That's the key to being an Evertonian. It's vital never to "believe". The mistake many make is to "believe", hence Mason Holgate is the next big thing, Ben Godfrey is a mainstay for a decade, Tom Davies is a good squad player, and Richarlison is worth 100m.

None of these things were ever remotely true, but they became a quasi-consensus among a section of the fan base.

The other big mistake many make is that we are too good a club for the likes of Sam Allardyce and Rafael Benitez, but the right fit for Marco Silva and Marcel Brands. No, we're not. We're a mid-table club with a faded history and massive delusions of grandeur. Right now, to believe some, we are in crisis...while sitting in the top half of the table. They are right about the crisis...but not because of our current position, but because of our current squad. But then, Alex Iwobi is worth a punt and could flourish in the right environment and Andre Gomes just needs an arm around the shoulder...
