But on Saturday, September 23, things got better for the former, as the Toffees defeated Brentford 3-1 to earn their first league victory of the year.
Things are now improving for the latter as well, with the Merseyside club receiving not one but two boosts from potential new owners 777 Partners, the first of which involves club supporters directly.
In an effort to allay any concerns surrounding the takeover, the US investment firm has reportedly started talking with important supporters and fan groups.
The initiative should be welcomed by the Everton supporters, especially given their tumultuous history with the club’s current owner Farhad Moshiri.
The firm anticipates the owners and directors test for the Premier League to take about 12 weeks, which gives them confidence that they can pass, which is the second boost, I continued.
Supporters of the Toffees will feel more at ease about the deal’s completion because to the timing and the confidence.
Such supporters, I noted, are “desperate for a change,” a judgment that is undoubtedly accurate given the club’s ongoing problems in recent years.
At Goodison Park, optimism has been severely lacking, but there might be some hope at the end of the dark tunnel.
