whilst I agree with your take on only being in true danger twice, I bet if you asked a load of non Everton fans they wouldn't see it like that, and that's not how it came across in the Media.

No one cares about the points deduction, they just looked at the final league table the last four have been 16th, 17th, 15th, 13th.

That looks bad, and it is bad, and we need some stabilisation before people look at us the way they used to. Not just the league finishes but the utter, utter chaos that has been going on off the field doesn't exactly give off the impression that we are a solid Prem league team where you can develop and move on to a Champions league club does it?
