Everton away next season (7 Viewers)
- Thread starter Sky Blue Harry H
- Start date
But they're 15th, only 4 points ahead of Leeds who have had an awful season.
15th in the the last 10 form table and 18th in the last 6.
Villa fans on the whole are not impressed with Gerrard.
Liverpool has more than us as well. They were promoted in the early 60’s

We were fourth longest continuous member of the first/premier division 34 years until being relegated in season 2001 behind Arsenal, Everton & Liverpool. Both Manchester United & Tottenham suffered relegation in the 70s.

Any idea of where the 34 years would put us now? I’d imagine we’d still be top 10?

I had a think about this recently. Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool are still there obviously. Chelsea have just got to 34 this year I think (sure they last got promoted in 1988). Spurs on 40+. United on 48. Other than that you're looking at a lot of teams that are <10.

Interesting how they originally made it into the top flight in 1919 though. They had finished 5th in Division 2 in the last season before the 1st world war, and it was thought that a lot of money was exchanged to ensure their place in the new top flight after the war. Tottenham were placed in Division 2 though, and much of their early rivalry emanated from that decision.

The Hill-Wood family bankrolled Arsenal in those days, they switched allegiance from Glossop North End just before WW1. GNE having been the smallest town to ever have a top flight football team!

If Everton get out of it this year I would imagine they will spend a few quid again to try to get out of this mess but will have to clear a few out, whoever stops up knows they have a good chance next year as Fulham and Bournemouth will be bottom feeders as will the play off winner and Brentford will struggle without Erikkson.

Everton should have been relegated when they beat Wimbledon 3-2 in a very dubious game.

Off topic but Oldham are the first team from the original premier league lineup to be relegated to non league, pretty toxic there as well at the moment.

We should have relegated Everton in 98 when Bolton went down

Notts County and Luton were in the top flight the season before the PL though. Always slightly pisses me off how top flight football doesn't seem to count before the PL

I'm the forums resident Everton fan.
If relegated Everton are screwed, Good players like Richerlson, Calvert-Lewin, Dacoure, Allan, Pickford will all go for a fraction of their value. Everton are in deep financial trouble and cant afford the loss in revenue from relegation.
At best Everton wont get points dedicated for breaking league rules, but wont have anything to invest in the team.
At worst looking at administration.
The players we will be left with are on high wages and possibly not even good enough for championship, likes of Holgate, Keane, Gbamin, a 35 year old Coleman, Rondon will struggle at championship level.

When Carlisle got promoted to the top division Bill Shankly said it was the greatest achievement ever in English football

That's my only worry - although it would be funny - they'll occupy one of the top places, almost certainly.

Would agree normally but I think the fire sale that would take place and a fair bit of behind the scenes chaos would be difficult for them. Clubs with a loosing mentality find it hard to stop the slide than your perennial yo yo teams like Norwich.

It would be a shame to see Everton in our league, although a novelty
If they did come down I'm not so sure they would have a good season. I somehow see them more likely doing a Wolves/Sunderland due to having to almost start again, fans expectations being high and generally getting out of the losing mentality
Still twists and turns yet and could go to the final game before we find out if they'll come down or not

Remember the 4-1 win against them in 85 ? We needed to win our last 3 games to stay up and that was the last one. Regis on fire that day.
Another great Highfield Rd moment .
