Interesting article about how badly run Everton have been. Some of the comments are spot on too. Read James Boden's comments:

Our players and managers had done such a marvellous job of getting to the European Cup and then these c**ts robbed us. They also tarnished what should have been Juventus's finest hour. It was because of them that this ban was imposed. Because of them that the city of Liverpool received a bad name. English football receieved a bad name. This meant that clubs lost out on lost revenue not only through the European ban but also because of the television dispute on the back of Heysel.

I honestly believe the long term effect of Heysel was The Premier League. Money was thrown about to change football's image. And it is beyond obscene now. In short, the effect Liverpool supporters had on football should not be forgotten.

A good reason why Liverpool and their Scum fans must never, ever be forgiven for the damage they inflicted upon the game we love. They've continued with their denials and playing down of their wickedness ever since. Hence my lifetime duty of hating them with a burning, virulent passion.

Cheeky scouse scalliwags? Surely not.

Actually Heysel was just the final straw after years of violence wherever almost any English club side went in Europe around that time.And the national side.You were lucky not to have them kicked out as well imo.

It's a bit rich to blame the final straw for the camel's broken back. Liverpool fans were anything but innocent at Heysel, but as Arab says it was simply the awful culmination of a pattern of terrible incidents. But I'm sure Everton fans were perfect saints in their cup winners cup campaign in 84/85...
