The damning result of this poll (on the back of a record response), coupled with an online petition asking the club to reinstate the club motto amd laurel wreaths, a backlash on Twitter ans supporters contacting Everton to register their disapproval led to a public apology from Goodison Park and a pledge to revisit the new badge for the 2014-15 season.

Michael Laudrup was the clear favourite with votes in the 35% range at the start of voting but his tally slipped as it became more apparent that he was a long shot for the position given the compensation Everton would likely owe Swansea to prise him away.

Pro-Kirkby critics of this site suggest that a poll on the proposed stadium is bound to come out with the majority voting against the scheme but the history of ToffeeWeb polls on the stadium question shows that the results have largely followed broader supporter opinion. We believe that this latest poll, which has 68% now against Destination Kirkby is reflective of the increasing scepticism among Evertonians based on the yawning gap between what was originally promised and what was eventually approved (in terms of quality, size and cost to Everton FC) by Knowsley Borough Council.

March - April 2008

This poll featured one of the biggest swings in voting so far. When first posted towards around the turn of the year, only 30-odd percent believed that the Blues could crack the top four this season.

September - October 2007

Following the summer transfer business, are Everton now suitably equipped to challenge at home and abroad?


Yes
60%   
No
40%   
(1,635 votes)

While voting was as high as 75% for the "yes" camp immediately after the closure of the transfer window, subsequent opinion seemed to shift downwards as the team have struggled without key personnel in midfield.

August 2007

In your opinion, would a return in the ballot of less than 60% in favour give the Board an acceptable mandate to relocate Everton FC to Kirkby?


Yes
54%   
No
46%   
(1,202 votes)

Prior to the announcement of the ballot result, the voting was running at around 35%-65%; after the result was announced, the number of votes saying that less than 60% was acceptable surged to 54%

July-August 2007

Setting aside your views on Kirkby as a location itself, what is your reaction to the images just released of the proposed Kirkby stadium?


Thumbs up
64%   
Thumbs down
36%   
(1,972 votes)

While the release of the artist's impressions appeared to affect the last few days of voting in the previous poll, the "thumbs up" vote here slipped by about 8% over the lifetime of the poll. Ma<

To get a clearer picture of the fans' views, we launched a more comprehensive survey.

July 2007

If other sites in Liverpool were definitively ruled out for the next 5 years and assuming you approved of the as-yet unannounced Kirkby stadium design proposals, which way would you vote if the following were the only options?


Move to Kirkby
47%   
Stay at Goodison
53%   
(3,617 votes)

We posed another stadium-related poll question again because the poll we ran between November and January last year did not restrict as much the number of times a person could vote and because we're a few months further down the line in the debate and the publication of Knowsley BC's proposals for Kirkby and the anticipated location of Everton's stadium offers a little more to go on.

Interestingly, the voting was running at 45%/55% for most of the life-span of the poll but the pro-Kirkby vote jumped 2% in the space of a couple days on the back of the release of the artists' impressions of the proposed Kirkby stadium.

To get a clearer picture of the fans' views, we've launched a more comprehensive survey in which we'd really appreciate your participation.

June 2007

Are you concerned by the lack of transfer activity at Goodison Park so far this close season?


Yes
62%   
No
38%   
(1,769 votes)

With pre-season training a week away, a clutch of friendlies starting on 14th July and no new faces so far this summer, the majority of respondents said they were concerned by the lack of transfer activity at Goodison.

May-June 2007

Do you think that bringing back limited standing areas at Premiership football grounds is a good idea?

May 2007

Which position should be David Moyes's priority this summer?


Fullback
13%   
Central midfield
41%   
Wing
38%   
Attack
8%   
(1,658 votes)

With options up front, it seems as though many Blues still see the midfield as the area most in need of reinforcements.

May 2007

Should Everton splash the reported £8m on Manuel Fernandes?


Yes
79%   
No
21%   
(891 votes)

Despite the hefty price tag it would seem that a large majority of voters are convinced that Fernandes is worth the investment given his age and massive potential.

January - April 2007

David Moyes says he needs 5 more years to get Everton where he wants them. Would you give them to him?


Yes, he's the best man to get us competing regularly in the top 4
63%   
Yes, he's the best we can hope for in our current state
27%   
No, in 5 years he's taken us as far as he can
8%   
No, we could attract someone better
2%   
(3,355 votes)

Running over almost four months, this poll spanned periods of both good and bad form for Everton so the result is probably a fair reflection of our readers' opinion of the manager. With just 10% voting against David Moyes's continued tenure at Goodison, it's an unexpectedly resounding signal of approval.

November 2006 - January 2007

Would you support the proposed move to Knowsley?

Assuming the new stadium design met your approval, if asked to vote on the matter, would you support a move to Knowsley?

Yes
59%   
No
41%   
(5,793 votes)

We deliberately let this one run for an extended time and were rewarded with our record poll response. Interestingly, the voting in a previous poll on this question and that on the subject of ground-sharing with Liverpool returned almost exactly the same result.

October-November 2006

Club vs Country: Do you put Everton over your nation's success?

If you had to choose, would you prefer Everton to win the Premiership or your nation win the World Cup?

Everton win the Premiership
84%   
My country win World Cup
16%   
(595 votes)

The real interest in this poll would actually be how fans of other clubs would vote on this as it always appears as though Evertonians lean disproportionately towards Everton than their national team, especially England.

September - October 2006

Is Andy van der Meyde's talent outweighed by his injuries/off-field conduct?


Yes, he's a luxury player with questionable attitude
42%   
No, we need his flair and he deserves a chance to prove his worth
58%   
(1,694 votes)

During the lifetime of this poll, Van der Meyde picked up yet another injury that will sideline him for six weks. Nevertheless, the majority of TW readers, no doubt desperate to see a wide player succeed at Goodison under Moyes, say we need his talent and he should be give a chance... if he's ever fit enough!

August-September 2006

Is Duncan Ferguson deserving of the status of Everton legend?


Yes
71%   
No
29%   
(2,463 votes)

While ToffeeWeb's assessment of Ferguson's Everton career concluded that he was probably not deserving of the status of Goodison legend, the response from TW readers came down overwhelmingly the other way.

Blues fans are in an optimistic yet realistic frame of mind ahead of the new season if these results are any indication. The results were taken before the opener versus Watford.

June-July 2006

Is it important to keep EFC within the City of Liverpool?


Yes
48%   
No
52%   
(4,534 votes)

While what defines the City of Liverpool's boundaries was open to interpretation by some readers, the main thrust of the question held true and the poll drew record numbers of respondents and a very narrow result. Those who voted were split almost half and half over whether it's important to keep Everton in Liverpool itself.

June 2006

Is "completing the triangle" of a defensive, attacking and goalkeeping signing going to be enough?


Yes, the squad is now sufficiently strong
12%   
No, primarily need another central defender
17%   
No, primarily need another central midfielder
27%   
No, primarily need another winger
37%   
No, primarily need another striker
7%   
(1,371 votes)

This was more or less the expected result. It is greate news that Andy van der Meyde has pledged to fight for his Goodison future but the team still needs a reliable outlet on the wing, a role that neither Kilbane nor McFadden is going to be able to fill.

May/June 2006

Is spending £6m+ on Andy Johnson a wise use of available funds this summer?


Yes, we need a goalscorer at all costs
71%   
No, it's too much outlay on one player
29%   
(3,468 votes)

This poll was interesting because of the pattern of voting. The split when the transfer was first mooted was around 55% / 45%, but the more likely it became that we'd sign Johnson — and, of course, the higher the price went — the more people came out in favour of the deal.

May 2006

This season's 11th-place finish is...


Still a sign of progress
25%   
Satisfactory
33%   
A massive disappointment
40%   
(2,043 votes)

Although more respondents feel that the 2005/06 season was a "massive disappointment" than voted for the other two options available, it's worth noting that the majority (6 out of 10) either felt that Everton's 11th-place finish was satisfactory or was still a sign of progress from, say, the Walter Smith years.
