The Toffees are in serious danger after their latest loss against Newcastle

When was the last time Everton played in Championship after getting relegated from Premier League?

Everton FC have just been handed their latest defeat in the league at the hands of Newcastle United. The Toon ran out 4-1 victors at Goodison Park, and have dealt the Toffees yet another blow in their survival hopes. Everton now sit in 19th position in the league and have failed to win any of the last five matches in the league. The Toffees could actually end up going down this season.

Everton are the second longest-serving team in the English top flight, behind only Arsenal. The Merseyside club have been in the league since 1954, for 79 years. The English club have a rich vein of history and were considered as part of the initial Big 5 of English football. The club has been suffering both on and off the pitch ever since they were taken over by Farhad Moshiri in 2016.

Everton were involved in another relegation scrap last season but managed to stay afloat with one game left to play. However, this time their survival looks less likely. The Toffees are one of the most recognised English clubs around the world, and have the fourth most top-flight titles in England. If Everton do get relegated, it would be a big loss for the club as well as the league, who will lose a key member, one that has served them for nearly 80 years.

Everton’s new stadium, and its ties to slavery

Stadium

Everton are set to move to a new stadium, Everton Stadium, in the Bramley Moore Dock. The stadium is believed to be available by the 2024/25 season, at which point the club will move from their iconic home, Goodison Park. However, the locality of their new stadium was named after a man who has been linked to dark acts in British history.

John Bramley-Moore was an English trader in the 19th century. John was born in Leeds and spent most of his youth in Brazil, where he made a fortune from slave and illegal slave labour. Slavery had been abolished by the British in 1803, but Bramley-Moore managed to acquire most of his wealth from illicit activity.

Bramley-Moore was elected as an alderman for Liverpool following his return to England. The city had opened five docks during his jurisdiction in 1848, and one of them was named after him. The Englishman then lived the remainder of his life working as the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, but his stain on history can not be forgotten.

Everton have taken a step forward in recognizing the actions of their city’s former mayor. The club has a rich history and has been one of the few ever-present clubs in the Premier League since its inaugural season in 1992. However, the Toffees might not be present in the Premier League for the first game for their new stadium, as relegation seems to be a real possibility for the club this season.
