1993–94 Everton F.C. season

Season summary

Everton's reputation as a club living on former glories (in this case glories within the last 10 years) was highlighted this season as they were never out of the relegation battle when just a few seasons ago they had been league champions.

Manager Howard Kendall's second spell as manager came to an end – of his own volition – in December just after they ended a seven-match winless run. As the new year dawned, Mike Walker was brought in as Kendall's successor and, after his successful 18-month reign at Norwich City which had seen the Canaries record their highest-ever league placing, there was much optimism that Walker was the man to restore Everton to their former glory.

On the last day of the season, Everton went 2–0 down to Wimbledon and they looked all set for relegation – just seven years earlier they had been league champions. But a remarkable turnaround in the second half saw the Toffees cruise to a 3–2 victory and they were safe, with the final relegation places going to Sheffield United and Oldham Athletic.
