I mean, what IS the point of Everton? They bumble along, decade after decade, mid-table mediocrity personified, never having the horrors of a relegation battle nor the sheer unbridled joy of unexpectedly winning something. They never have financial meltdowns, imprisoned owners, controversial managers, hated players, rated players, just spend year after year quietly fulfilling their fixtures and making up the numbers, disturbing no-one. Their fans have absolutely nothing of interest to look forward to, not even a feisty local derby. Their warm-up kit is a nice comfy beige cardigan and checked slippers.
Their motto is "Nil Satis Nist Optimum", which I believe is Norwegian for "Nothing Ever Happens Here"
What IS the point of Everton?
