Mike: No Evertonian can predict next season with any accuracy. We need a total squad overhaul, a mentality shift and we will be finding our feet in a new stadium. We could be anywhere from seventh to 17th. Somehow, after all these years, I’m still optimistic and think we’ll improve the squad to finish in the top half. I even have hopes of qualifying for Europe one way or another.

Graham: Next season can be great. New stadium, new players, new atmosphere. There is absolutely no reason why a trophy and European qualification (by finishing in the top seven in the league) should not be credible goals.

Gruff: Hopefully some new first-team quality players, who will lead us into the new stadium. A new mindset of finishing in the top half and possibly Europe. The only way is up!

Doug: Just a little concerned that unless we get 40,000 Evertonians there at every home match, it could well be like playing away, even though we are at home. I think that if we can finish in the top half that will be a solid base to build on for 2026-27.

Keith: The thought of another relegation fight is unthinkable to all Evertonians, but if any of the newly promoted teams can hold their own and stay up, who is going to be batting it out at the bottom end? If this season is anything to go by, it would at be at least one from West Ham, Tottenham, or Man Utd in danger. I’m sure all three will be better next season, but the Premier League has become significantly more competitive, so who are the more likely contenders? It is vital Everton get their recruitment right.
