Who won the championship the year after Everton did? I know it wasn't them. So how can they blame us for the breakup of that Howard Kendall team?

Yes he said it was Liverpools fault on tuesday night about them getting knocked out of europe.
Why does it bother him he wasnt in charge then :angry:

I mean, better teams than Everton at that time, never won it the first time off. It is such a big money spinner now cos they have turned it into a League, not a knock out competition. So it is Liverpools fault that their owners were too tight to invest in the club they loved so well. For Gods sake I wish they would grow up.

i think evertons argument carries a lot of weight coz back in those days the winner of the english first division as it was usually went on to lift the european cup. off the top of my head i think 83 was the only year from our first win in 77 up to everton winning the title that an english club didnt win the major gong... 1977- liverpool, 1978- liverpool, 1979- forest, 1980- forest, 1981- liverpool, 1982- villa, 1984- liverpool.
if you add to that eufa cup wins and cup winners cup wins from that period by teams like spurs, aberdeen,ipswich and everton etc its fair to say british (especially english) teams dominated the era.
of course it wasnt a gimme everton would have won it but being fair they would have been one of the favourites, they had a very good side back then who broke most points and goalscoring records of the time.
i think after heysel it was inevitable that english clubs were banned because every english club had fans who liked to fight, although by far the worst heysel sadly wasnt the only example of acts of violence by so called fans of english clubs home and abroad. it was a disease engrained in the culture of our game that started in the late sixties and the reason i on the main didnt go to away games in those days.
every weekend coaches or trains carrying fans (specials) were ambushed and wrecked by warring factions up and down the country and crews like the chelsea headhunters and the intercity firm (icf of west ham) becoming almost household names your mum knew.
if you wore your club shirt at an away match you were literally in danger of getting slashed,knifed or at least beaten up good style. i suppose social anthropologists would say it was an explosive cocktail of punk music, political chaos and an angry disenfranchised youth with little prospect of finding a job venting their anger but thankfully we seem to be moving out of the dark ages and fingers crossed it is a thing of the past.

This so called hooligan who wrote a book about Hysel who was there was infact an evertonain.

Liverpool won the league in 86 and 88 the years after the blushite won them.As for the everton teams breakup,this was due to a lot of players contracts coming to an end,and a lot were past their best.
