Everton Fans.

[Ted Hughes]

Booing Sorenson as he's stretchered off with concussion wearing an oxygen mask. What a bunch of absolute whinging cunts those people are.

[Beefymcfc]

Don't know a single decent one to be honest. Did they somehow think that he was wasting time after Cahill clattered him?

[bigblue]

The only noise you hear from Everton fans is booing or whinging. Nothing else

[Beeks]

Possibly the most bitter fans regarding our takeover..

Horrible

someone with as much class as the sheikh would never want to be associated with these classless shits

Was talking to one last Sunday. After the usual bitterness, he started on about FFP. I tried to explain how it would fuck Everton up forever but he didn't get it, then he said how he would prefer to be watching Everton in the lower leagues with 'real football' than having all our money, at which point I was forced to ask how the fucking hell he would know & how many of their whinging, shitty supporters would still be in the fucking ground if it happened.

Scouse fans. Shit, Everton in particular.

[Beeks]

Scousers. Shit of the Earth.

Fair enough, no offence meant, edited too. My Mother is too. I meant the fans, they're horrible.

[The Man In Blue]

I would take a week off work to wind the cunts up if they managed to get themselves relegated. Fucking deluded, self-righteous bastards the lot of them.

This is a genuine question to which I don't know the answer, but was their title winning team in the 80s expensively assembled?

Ours was not the first takeover in history, Chelsea won the jackpot only a few years before us and with more immediate success. At one point it looked like West Ham were going that way. There was some animus towards Portsmouth, but I felt that was more because they were tapping up our players, they never paid a decent fee for the guys they took.

I didn't feel we were spiteful about other teams' good fortune. I don't know that we'd be bitter if Everton had been the subject of a takeover.

We understood enough to get over losing SWP to Chelsea and even welcomed him back as a hero. Someone else would have just had him for less.

I think most clubs would have been more ambivalent about the takeover than us, I think Everton wouldn't have been as receptive to Sheik Mansour.

not sure - but "whatever it is that we bought - we didn't put it up for sale".

weren't everton one of the "big four" that originally started talk of a "premier league"?

still - not the fans fault tho...

[bluej]

Not a single shot on target today, I suppose they need something to 'entertain' them.

Big five who were going to break away(and obviously did eventually)

Everton, Liverpool, Them, Arsenal, Tottenham.

ah, that's the one. premier league founders - it's all about the money.

[Slim]

Are you kidding me? Money ruins football.

Up until the evil Arabians arrived on magic carpets that flew and offended god, the league was played under the tree of life sent by Michael to watch over the pure and enlightened souls that played football in England. The players weren't paid in anything other than karma(which is a Hindu belief showing diversity and tolerance for all things) and the general wellbeing of being a part of the purist form of worship imaginable. Every player was born within the ground of the team they played for, all the fans could throw a stone from their front door and hit the stadium, not that they'd do such a thing. The clubs all got along and shared any wealth that came along amongst even the smallest of clubs and if a club was in trouble financially, everyone involved would send the wives around to knit the troubled club some new shirts, make them some sandwiches and give the place a once over with the vac.

It's no wonder they're bitter. It appears they weren't shy of spending a few quid themselves in order to get to the top. Don't get me wrong, they spent most of it wisely and ultimately became an 80s force to be reckoned with but it's no wonder they now look at us with envy, their glory days must seem like a lifetime ago and when you haven't spent a penny on new players for coming up to 2 years it's gotta hurt....

After nearly being relegated the season before Everton managed to raise themselves to 15th place in 1980/81 season. Gordon Lee brought in a new goalkeeper in the form of Jim McDonough from Bolton Wanderers and blooded three youngesters in Steve McMahon, Paul Lodge and Joe McBride. The end of the season saw a former Everton legend join the club as player/manager Howard Kendall and he helped sow the seeds of probably Everton’s finest decade to date. Howard’s first full season 1981/82 saw him start by brining in what was known as the ‘Magnificent 7? in the form of Alan Ainscow, Alan Biley, Mick Ferguson, Mike Walsh, Mickey Thomas & Neville Southall. He would later pay an Everton record fee for Adrian Heath to move from Stoke City for £750,000 not forgetting the captures of Derek Mountfield and Alan Irvine also and the blues went onto finish a respectable 8th for that season. In 1982/83 Everton moved up one place by finishing the season in 7th place. Kevin Sheedy had moved across Stanley Park for £100,000, Peter Reid was captured from Bolton Wanderers for £60,000 and Terry Curran and Glen Keeley came in on loan although the latter’s Everton career probably proved to be one of the shortest in the club’s history when he was sent off on his debut against Liverpool and he never regained his place. 1983/84 finally saw Everton win the FA Cup for the 1st time since 1966 and Everton’s first trophy since they won the league back in 1969/70. Howard Kendall had brought in Trevor Steven from Burnley and Andy Gray from Wolves. They would prove invaluable to a team that would win the cup. 1984/85 and the first league title for 15 years & the clubs 8th title in total arrived at Goodison Park at the end of a magnificent season that saw Everton miss out on a domestic double thanks to a Cup Final goal by a future Everton player Norman Whiteside then at Manchester United but pick up the clubs first European Trophy during a glorious night in Rotterdam against Rapid Vienna. Howard’s team of heroes had been supplemented by the arrival of Pat van den Hauwe and Paul Wilkinson. Peter Reid was voted PFA Player of the year, Neville Southall the Football Writers’ Association player of the year. However the sad note for Everton was the death of former player and manager Harry Catterick who had died at Goodison shortly after watching Everton draw 2-2 against Ipswich Town in the FA Cup. 1985/86 brought the start of the European ban for English clubs and Everton ended that season as runners-up in the League despite paying a record £800,000 fee for Striker Gary Lineker. 1986/87 saw Everton win their ninth League Division 1 title. The Blues brought in Dave Watson from Norwich City, Bobby Mimms, Neil Adams, Kevin Langley & Ian Snodin during the title winning season a season which saw them reach the Final of the ’European replacement’ the Screen Sports Super Cup however they finished runners up to Liverpool. The season ended with Howard Kendall moving on to Athletic Bilbao leaving Colin Harvey to take permanent charge. Colin Harvey’s first season in charge 1987/88 saw the Toffeemen finish in 4th place. Harvey brining in Ian Wilson to add to the title winning squad. 1988/89 and Everton spent big on a small centre forward in the shape of Tony Cottee spending £4.5 million a fraction of this total was paid back with a hat trick in the first game of the season his 3 goals helping the Blues win 4-0 against Newcastle United. Harvey also brought in Pat Nevin, Stuart McCall & Neil McDonald. Everton would play in the post Hillsborough FA Cup Final against Liverpool that season. 1989/90 and the end of decade season saw Everton finish 6th with the Blues buying in Stefan Rehn, Ray Atteveld, Mike Newell, Martin Keown & Norman Whiteside

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Everton buy the first 100,000-pound player?
