Profile:

Ever since Scotish man David Moyes has taken the hot seat at Everton, they have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the Premier League. In the three seasons he has been manager at Goodison Park they have finished 7th, 17th, 4th and this season thney are coming last. The Toffees have an illustrious history and are now the longest serving club in the top flight. They also possess a proud record of five FA Cup wins. Their victory over Manchester United in the 1995 final at Wembley sparked Everton's best season in the FA Premier League era - sixth under Joe Royle. The Goodison Park academy discovered a real gem in teenage England international Wayne Rooney, who left Merseyside for Old Trafford in August 2004. Everton remain one of England's biggest clubs and with Moyes at the helm they could finally realise their potential and delight their huge fan base. The start to this season though has been less than impressive having only won one game and drawn against leaders Chelsea.
