I’m glad we’ve avoided relegation but I have to admit that the relief comes with a bitter price. We’ll never know now, as it hasn’t happened, but I think relegation could have seen the end of Moshiri and possibly the destruction and subsequent rebirth of the club free from his taint.
I don’t like Moshiri and I don’t like the board. And staying up only gives them more freedom and time to make things worse. They’ve escaped punishment and I dislike that lack of culpability.
I do like Frank and I like what he’s saying and doing so far. I hope he’s allowed to develop the team he sees and wants. I believe in him more than any manager we’ve had since Moyes - that in itself is a shocking reminder of what I feel about the club’s direction over the last decade.
I’m somewhat ignorant about Everton generally, but I think avoiding relegation is huge.
There’s no guarantee of salvation if you were to go down, or at least no guarantee of how quickly it would come.
I know where you’re coming from as bdill would I’m sure tell you villa are in far better shape compared to where they were as they endured a long slide to relegation, which seemed to take a while to come, but had been on the cards for a bit.
However, staying up gives you a chance to turn things around without the pain of a stint in the championship. Hopefully you take it and don’t find yourselves in the same spot again in 12 months time.
