Everton’s season has been one of the most unorthodox in their entire history, having made Premier League history for all the wrong reasons.
After all, in receiving two points deductions, they became the first to receive such a sanction twice in just one campaign.
However, these players did not let it keep them down, and their heroic recent showings have made their own division look foolish for trying to force them down.
Throughout this entire process, in which fans have largely been kept in the dark, Alan Myers has remained a useful asset to keep them informed.
Alan Myers offers his thoughts on Everton entering administration
Writing in his reporter’s notebook for Sky Sports earlier today, the journalist has now turned to delivering effusive praise for Sean Dyche and his players rather than gloomy updaets.
After all, this has been the easiest and earliest that they have achieved survival in the last three seasons, despite it being the season wrought with the most turmoil.
With PSR drama and a takeover dragging on, the focus required to stick to the task at hand is so admirable.
However, Myers thinks that this latter issue is one which simply needs sorting soon, even weighing in on claims that administration remains a threat.
He writes: ‘Without that support [777 Partners’ loans], it is unclear what position the club would be in, however my understanding is suggestions of administration are wide of the mark and it appears that scenario is not likely even if the 777 approval doesn’t come.’
Everton need the 777 Partners takeover saga finished
Whether it be with the Miami-based firm in power or not, Farhad Moshiri and the Premier League just need to come to an Everton takeover conclusion soon.
And whilst there is justified scrutiny for 777 Partners, the stability that simply having someone in charge who actually wants to be there could do them wonders as they seek to progress forwards at last.
After all, the last five years or so have been wrought with regression, as the club’s torrid financial misconduct has finally come back to bite them.
There has been much misinformation spread about Josh Wander and his crew though, and whilst they obviously have made some hefty mistakes, their work in slowly fixing Genoa has been admirable.
So, should they get into power at Everton, it will not be all bad.
But, with reports suggesting they are considering selling part of the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium to fund their takeover, again worries are valid.
With other parties supposedly still interested in jumping in should the deal fall through, what this club needs now more than anything is a strong, stable leader who wants to be at the club for the foreseeable future.
