The Big 7?
Since the inception of the FA Premier League in 1992, only 7 clubs have been ever present. Of that 7, Everton are placed 7th, due in no small part to their abysmal record in the 1990s.
At the top end of the scale are the new "big four" clubs, going by league performance at least which is influenced, of course, by the growing disparity in wealth and income.
Although Everton's form has picked up under David Moyes, it's also going to be a while before they can climb further up the table seeing due to the distance between them and the next two closest clubs, Blackburn and Tottenham.
