I put Everton in the same bracket as us as they along with ourselves and Spurs are in our own little mini league trying to sneak in to an odd champions League place every 5 years or so.
If you say we are not at the Everton level as in trying to achieve an odd champions league place then whose level would you put us on ? Try to answer with your head, not your heart and take into consideration our finishes in the last six or seven seasons... I don't remember when Everton qualified for CL or are even a serious contender, I don't remember when they won anything. Maybe Europa League is their target but not CL. Try to use your brain a bit, if you have one, not your Blueunose heart

Id say after the big three there is a gap to Arsenal, then another smaller gap to Liverpool and Spurs; then a bigger gap to a larger group including the toffs.
I'd be surprised if they were given massive funds to spend AND a new stadium at the same time. At least for the near future I doubt whether they,ll be moving up from the tier they are on at present.

Didn't they qualify 4thin 2005. They got knocked out in the qualifiers. Thinks that's the only time since the period of the Heysel ban.
Roughly as many times as Leicester.

Roughly as many times as Leicester. yes that's correct they qualified the season Liverpool won in Istanbul, since then they haven't qualified, I think there's is no qualification for the champions League and no appearances in 12 years where I think we are on 1 appearance in about 6 or 7 years. I would definitely say Everton, Spurs and Liverpool are all on the same footing in that the aims are all the same which is just to appear in the champions League, none of these clubs have serious ambitions to win Leagues or champions leagues unlike say City, United and Chelsea, would even say Arsenal try to win these trophies but always fall short but they certainly set out at the start of each season to win one unlike Liverpool, Spurs and Everton who have a totally different mindset and ambition...

And I would say you are completely and utterly wrong. Happy Christmas by the way.

Was chatting to an Evertonian uncle who doesn't think too much of Ronald. Apparently, his contract states he he can leave Finch Farm at 4 pm which he does, on the dot. Martinez and Moyes used to stay long after their contracted hours and took a great interest in the youngsters. Wouldn't be a shock if he started next season abroad.
