  • Everton are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the history of English football, but they haven't won a trophy since 1995, and having just received the largest points deduction ever imposed by the Premier League, they currently sit inside of the league's relegation places.
    So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at Everton's downfall since the mid-1980s, when they were arguably the best team in Europe, the ownership, economic, and regulatory crisis currently impacting the club, and what the future may hold for the troubled Toffees.

    As an American, one of the main things Everton are known for here in the US is basically saving the career of Tim Howard (after a mediocre stint at Man United) who played at Everton from 2007-2016. During his time at Everton, Howard became one of the best keepers the US has ever produced & was a big reason why they punched above their weight during the David Moyes years. It is a shame that Everton have basically fallen apart since Howard left the club. A quick note on Howard after he left Everton, he went to MLS side Colorado Rapids for 3 seasons to end his career. However he only made the playoffs once during that stint (due to Stan Kroenke refusing to invest in the Rapids which deserves its own What on Earth is Going On video) which in a league like MLS where over half the teams make the playoffs is quite embarrassing.

    The monetary mismanagement has been truly dreadful and I'm not exactly hopeful in regards to the hopeful owners-to-be. I'm honestly not entirely convinced we're staying up if the full 10 point deduction sticks, either. If Luton had pulled off that win against Arsenal, we would really be up a creek without a paddle considering the run of fixtures we're on. It's basically up to their performance if we need to make up 45 or 55 points, because I'm fairly confident they'll beat Sheffield and probably Burnley, too.

    While you mentioned about Everton's incredible downfall, you might realize that there is much worse situation in Brazillian Football. Santos, one of the most successful club in the country, came from enduring the golden periods under the likes of Pele and Neymar, with countless amount of trophies, preferably the Copa Libertadores, to getting relegated from the top-tier football for the first time, only 341 days after the death of O Rei.

In 2020 they lost majority of thete youth players and alot of first team players because they hadn't been paying them which basically led to this downfall but since 2014 the team has been losing players cause of massive debts which is a recurring theme in south American football (river plate etc)

    You can make a video about the upcoming collapse of Iranian football. Ever since the failure in the 2022 World Cup, Iranian football appears to be suffering from a hidden crisis due to politics, economics and religious issues combined. However, Iran has been able to cover up the crisis so well by selecting and playing against weaker and less competitive opponents, but this cover appears to be fracturing after Iran suffered a shock 2-2 comeback against Uzbekistan in WCQ and the Iranian side appears to be struggling to find replacements due to increasing regime control of dissents and their distrusts on footballers moving abroad.

    One thing I think should have been mentioned is the nature of Everton's loss to Villareal. We had a perfectly good goal dissallowed by a referee who had been asked to come out of retirement to referee the match for some reason, and there has been no reason provided to this day behind the goal being dissallowed. None of the assistants, no one who saw it, not even the villareal players thought it should have been dissallowed, yet for some reason it was, and it if had stood and the scores held, everton would have won the tie on away goals.

      @@thethomascobbgroup5001Everton had come back to bring the tie to 3-2 behind on aggregate in Spain when what would have been an equalising goal was wrongly disallowed by reknowned referee Pierluigi Collina. Collina had ruled that an Everton player was pulling a shirt, when video clearly showed no foul. This would be Collina's last officiating performance at a competetive match. The goal Villarreal scored to make it 4-2 was a breakaway at the end of the game as Everton were chasing it out of desperation.

      Yeah the assessment of the fans and of the wider football media after the summer was quite different. The media thought we were relegation fodder. On the other hand Everton fans were optimistic (a change from usual), pointing out that we had the strongest and best-balanced 1st XI in a while. The only major worry was its thinnness. This is still true btw, we are a couple of big injuries away from real trouble. We could, no exaggeration, do with 5-10 more bodies of EPL or near-EPL level.

We tried the 'Brighton model' for years before it was fashionable and couldn't quite break the glass ceiling - were we meant to just be content as also-rans?

  • @DJMavis
    @DJMavis 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Spurs v Everton as a financial comparison: Spuds had double our revenue twenty odd years ago. For all the complaints from some Spurs fans about Daniel Levy, he had the club invest money in things that returned revenue to the club. At the same time, Kenwright was selling off all Everton's "assets" in the club shop; catering; ticket sales, anything he could to raise revenue. Which was sadly needed at the time, but also was an indication that our finances were poor. After that, we ran about even, which let's face it, IS HOW A CLUB SHOULD BE RUN. But that means that we needed to consistently outperform our financial clout to be top 7, which is pretty impossible to sustain.
    I was strongly opposed to us getting a sugar daddy, because I had seen Portsmouth and Leeds etc. But if we had one, what we needed was investment from the back end (new stadium, new facilities) and then to use that room to improve on the field. Moshiri seemingly was an idiot, and we've had sporting directors and managers happy to spend staggering sums on absolute drivel, and also employ Frank Lampard.
    Many Everton fans are indignant. And whilst it's hard not to point at Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle, or PSG further afield for being much worse than we are, we have absolutely broken the rules, and the only reason we didn't gain a sporting advantage is because we're incompetent. We deserve the penalty, and we're very, very lucky it was this season, because I think we'd go under if we went down. It's just that other clubs deserve more serious penalties.

      English clubs were banned for five years due to the deaths of Juventus supporters in Heysel Stadium in 1985 UCL final. This ban didn't extend to the national team and youth national teams however. English clubs were reinstated only in 1990 after England cleaned up the hooligan mess.

    What you seem to ignore is that we could have easily gone into administration and received a 9 point deduction we are not saying we shouldn't be punished but the severity of the punishment we've been given and this has only served to show that the premier league DOES in fact need an outside regulator....

    • @txbill2512
      @txbill2512 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Alfie did seem to ignore this point, which happens to be the point with Evertonians. Not one Evertonian, not one, hasn't said we shouldn't have been punished. But every Evertonian, and pundit, and neutral, across the country has said that the punishment clearly doesn't fit the crime. Not even close. This is why the Premier League, along with it's officiating and VAR, has again brought the game into disrepute with this attempt to make an example out of Everton.

  • @MrSmith1984
    @MrSmith1984 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The real issue with Everton and their aspirations to become a Top 6 Club...is that they didn't actually spend enough.
    After all; Chelsea & Manchester City have had to spend £2+ Billion to become established Top 6 Clubs, which is a lot more than what Everton have spent since 2016 (£700+ Million). And that was mostly in a time when players didn't cost more than £80 Million.
    That's why they have ended up spending money on players that are no better than Mid-Table...rather than on the likes of Harry Kane for example, a player who would cost £250-300 Million over a 5 year contract (£150-200 Million Transfer Fee + £100 Million in Wages) on their own.

    The commission ruled that Everton never gained any sporting advantage during that period so I can't understand a sporting sanction rather than a financial one or a transfer embargo, which may help the club from going into financial meltdown.the club is a massive part of English football history and it's of paramount importance that the clubs supporters don't suffer, when the club needed rebuilding and a new ground it was always going to cost a lot more.

    One of footballs most historic club and one of the most success domestically you really can't get any more traditional than Everton and without Haysel and the ban on English clubs competing in European competitions you would wonder what more else that they could have won in fact that may well have had a direct impact on their decline in the intervening yesrs and their near relegation from the EPL on a few occasions Everton after all were always one of the big 5 prior to the foundation of the EPL in 1992 but have arguably never recovered from the European ban imposed from 1985-1990 when they were denied the opportunity to showcase their talents

    The premier league is trying to set a president and we are the biggest club they are willing to enforce this on. Will the premier league willingly devalue itself by enforcing these types of punishments on bigger clubs?
    If the premier league allows for 777 partners to buy the club it shows just how flimsy a ground they stand on to enforce anything when they are allowing clubs to be run by shady owners and literal countries with endless cash.

      He was paid a lot of money and given a get out clause to break his contract should a better job opportunity arise - which it did 18 months later when Real Madrid phoned him up. That was Moshiri's last gamble - Ancelotti and a last throw of the dice (including James Rodriguez) to crash European competetion, which would stabilise the club financially. It failed as Rodriguez got injured and we lacked the squad strength to get over the line in the closing stages of the season. At which point Ancelotti was off and the true disaster unfolded.
