'The struggles of the past feel just about behind Everton'
It is funny how winning a few games of football breathes life back into a football club, but let's be honest - in football, momentum is everything. It is an incredibly strange feeling to describe the mood around Everton Football Club as anything but positive at the moment, but that is just how it is, with future beginning to become a reality. The struggles of the past feel just about behind us. The first test event at Bramley Moore was a resounding success. Hearing the new ground described as "breathtaking" and "magnificent" certainly put to bed my own worries about the atmosphere of the grand old lady being lost with the years. Moreover, the work on the pitch is now befitting the proud legacy of the last season at Goodison Park. Looking ahead to next season, Everton are now as far from a Champions League place (fifth place being taken into account) than they are relegation. David Moyes has done an incredible job since taking the helm again. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, there are many who would have been happy to settle for mid-table for a few years given the turbulence of the past few. If you had offered me 14th at the start of the season, I would have grabbed it with both hands, no questions asked. However, given the commercial advantages of Bramley Moore, a now competent set of owners, talk of a restructure of the academy, improved metrics and a hugely attractive proposition for new players, why shouldn't Everton be aiming higher? It is certainly nice to start thinking about looking up the table for a change! Find more from Briony Bragg at This Fan Girl
