When my dad was my age Everton had won the league twice in the previous 5 years. I’ve never seen them lift a trophy in my lifetime. Villa, Forest and Leeds fans in their 30s have never seen their team lift a major trophy when the previous generation saw them regularly compete for league titles and go all the way in Europe.
Just because clubs are part of the big six now doesn’t mean to say that group will be the same in 25 years.
As to whether or not it’s more enjoyable? I would say my twenty odd years as an evertonian have been “character building” to put it politely. That being said, one day I believe I will see an Everton captain raise a major trophy (not the championship or the JPT) over his head and on that day it will be all the sweeter for all I’ve endured.
We shall overcome. But first I’m going to cry for a little bit.
