Season summary
After a strong initial start to the season, Everton's form drastically deteriorated, eventually leading to them being stuck in a relegation battle.
Legendary manager Howard Kendall resigned as head coach in December, just after they ended a five-match winless run, with the Toffees eleventh. This was followed by a poor run of results under the caretaker management of Jimmy Gabriel, leaving Everton just one place outside the relegation zone by the time Kendall's permanent successor was named.
Mike Walker was the successor in question, following a successful 18-month reign at Norwich City. Walker earned 11 points from his first 6 matches in charge, but another poor run of form saw Everton move into the relegation zone following the penultimate round of matches. This was the first time all season that the club had been in the bottom three.
On the last day of the season, Everton went 2–0 down to Wimbledon and looked all set for relegation. However, a controversial Graham Stuart penalty followed by a Barry Horne volley and a second goal for Stuart saw the Toffees achieve a 3–2 victory. With other matches on which Everton depended also having gone their way, the Toffees were safe, with the final relegation places going to Sheffield United and Oldham Athletic.
