Season summary
The Everton directors finally lost patience with Walter Smith when they sacked him on 13 March. Preston boss David Moyes was named as his successor, and did a good job of steering Everton clear of the drop zone – though they finished 15th in the table.
Kit
Everton retained the previous season's home kit, manufactured by Puma and sponsored by one2one. The away kit was Silver and the third kit was pink with black sleeves. Both away and third kits had black shorts.
