After a poor start to the 2009/10 season, question marks are being raised over whether or not David Moyes can guide Everton to the success many fans feel the club deserves. Already online bookmakers bwin betting have essentially ruled Everton out of winning the Premier League by raising their odds to 400/1.

With Lescott all but out of the door, and limited incoming transfer rumours circulating, things are looking rather bleak.

Everton Football Club is a professional English football club and is in the city of Liverpool. It is one of the founding clubs for the League and is currently fifth in the League standings. It has won the Championship nine times, and has one the FA Cup five times and the UEFA once. They last won a major trophy in 1995.

The club was founded in 1878, and has a strong rivalry with the Liverpool football club, with matches between the two being known as the Merseyside Derby. Everton’s home stadium is at Goodison Park and has been since 1892, and they are currently considering building a new stadium in Kirkby. The club has an extremely large fan base as it is one of the oldest clubs in the league.

Many famous footballers have had careers at Everton before being transferred or sold to other clubs. Included in this is Dixie Dean who has the record for the most goals scored in a single season, 60 goals in thirty nine games. Wayne Rooney also has had a career at Everton Football Club before being transferred to Manchester United. The colours for the team are royal blue shirts, with white shorts and white socks.

Everton has had its ups and downs as a football club, with some periods of success and many bad years in between. However, the latest manager has moved the club from fifteenth in the league to the fifth position so fans remain hopeful that the club will continue performing well.

I am an Everton fan and I make no bones about it. I love the colour blue, the Everton colour, and I own a blue car. If I had a choice I would paint my house blue also. I have followed their FA games and their derby matches with traditional rivals Liverpool. Don’t ask me the reason for being an Everton fan. Let’s just say its family tradition as my dad was also an Everton fan. Whenever Everton wins I get emotionally overwhelmed. I am proud that Everton has produced some players that have played for the UK in the FIFA cup. Their junior academy really helps boys who love football and have made a career in professional football. I also boo Wayne Rooney as he is a product of the Everton academy and now plays for arch rivals Manchester United. I, as an Everton fan, also like to see my team when they are playing stiff rivals. That is what gets my adrenalin surging, and the closer the contest, the more thrilling it is. I hope to enjoy many more seasons watching my favourite Evertons playing, and I hope they will keep producing top class footballers.

With the manager of the Everton FC having his focus on the Premier League and improving the club’s position in the League, the focus has somewhat shifted and Moyes is of the view that finishing high in the Premier League is much more important than the FC Cup. Moyes has now been manager for the Everton FC for seven years and this time has been a good and steady one for the club and the players, who are very happy with their manager.

Moyes does not appear satisfied with the recent performance of Everton and was expecting much more. The club let a one goal lead slip and due to that they suffered a defeat, which is their second now. The manager is satisfied with the game by Lars Jacobsen, who was given an opportunity in the game and he grabbed it and had a good game, even if the club did suffer a defeat. The manager was of the view that the game had turned out to be a difficult one for Everton, but Lars did fine. At Fratton Park, the player made his debut and did well. Everton has been knocked out in the Carling Cup and UEFA and their position has weakened a little, which is also a reason for the club to be focusing on improving their position in the Premier League. The captain of the club thinks that this is the time for the squad to perform and do it in a way they know they can.

Everton FC has been an important name in football for many years now. Everton has been the receiver of many FA cups over the years and has seen many golden moments in its lifetime. The player who is considered to be the best in the history of Everton is Dixie Dean, who has never been booked or sent off and has made four hundred and thirty three appearances for Everton. Dixie has also made some records in the history of football and they are such that they are not that easy to be broken. He is the scorer of three hundred and eighty three goals for Everton and he also made sixty during a campaign in 1928 and 1928.

The Everton FC has always been associated with excellence and has millions of fans who are always expectant of the club’s inevitable success. Everton had got great players like Dave Watson, Andy Gray and Neville Southhall, who kept the performance going great and saw that the expectations of the fans are lived up to.

In the Premier League, Everton is in sixth position and has forty-eight points and comes after Aston Villa, Arsenal Chelsea, Liverpool and Man U. Currently Phill Neville is the captain for the club. He was signed to the Everton in 2005 from Man U and has played more than a hundred times for the Toffeemen. David Moyes, whose seven years are going to be complete soon with the club, is even more committed to get the FC cup this time.

Everton Football Club is one of the famous football clubs in England. It was founded in 1878, and was then known as St. Domingo. The reason for founding it was so that people from the parish could play sports in the winter months, as cricket was played in the summers. A year later the club was renamed Everton. This was one of the founding clubs for the Football League in 1888 and also went on to win the first League Championship in 1890-91.

In 1925, the club signed on Dixie Dean who went on to create a record for league goals in one single season; he scored sixty goals in thirty nine games. During World War II, the football clubs were suspended, and when they resumed playing after the War, Everton had lost much of its greatness and did not win any games till the mid 50s. In the 60s, Catterick was made manager and this started another successful period for the club. They won the League title in 1962. After him, Howard Kendall became manager and another successful era started. The current manager, David Moyes, was hired after the previous manager was fired for poor performance. He has taken the club to great heights, and even broke the record for highest transfer fee ever paid. In the 2006-2007 seasons, the club was sixth in the League and qualified for the UEFA Cup. In the 2007-2008 seasons the club was fifth in the league which is an improvement.
