Date published: Monday 23rd January 2023 9:04 -Everton fans are just the latest in a long line of supporters who have major issues with their club’s owners and officials.
That basic fact makes hearts grow colder and takes football further away from those who it used to belong to. It is a ridiculously romantic notion that it should be otherwise in 2023, but that doesn’t make anyone feel any happier about the situation. Too often it feels like the rich bloke is taking the piss out of the fans.
With a few financial cuts, or a few extra ‘partners’, all games could be played without anyone there, or without charging us for a ticket. Given the audiences for a lot of live football between the ‘smaller’ clubs can be somewhat shrivelled, and even the big games are only relatively popular. it doesn’t even seem to matter if no-one is watching football on TV or if there are fans there. They’ll just buy the rights and show it anyway.
All Everton can ever hope to achieve in this environment is survival, seasoned with rare victories over the financial elite. The best outcome is an occasional top-half finish. This is the basic dysfunction of the Premier League. 37 years ago Everton could and did win the league. They will never, ever, ever do that again.
Long term, the only way to have a chance of breaking the financial hegemony is to do a Newcastle which, to massively understate it, comes with a lot of issues. Surely Everton fans don’t want that.
