Encyclopedia
During the 1997–98 English football season, Everton F.C.
competed in the FA Premier League

, John Oster
and Gareth Farrelly
– but the big news at Goodison Park
was the return of Howard Kendall
for his third spell as manager.
With financial problems growing and fans growing ever more hostile towards chairman Peter Johnson, Kendall was soon facing the biggest struggle of his managerial career. Everton – top division members continuously since 1954 – were battling against relegation and looked anything but a trophy-winning team that they so often had been during Kendall's earlier spells. They ended up surviving, but only avoided relegation to Division One
because they had a greater goal difference than 18th-placed Bolton
. That kept Everton up, but Kendall resigned just weeks later and was replaced by the former Rangers
manager Walter Smith
