Fear and Loathing at Goodison Park chronicles the David Moyes era at Everton, when a fallen giant of the English game fought to re-establish itself among football' s elite.
With relegation dogfights making way for Champions League qualification and the first cup final since 1995, David Moyes' tenure was underpinned by stability and a hopefulness that success would soon return to the blue half of Merseyside.
It was, however, a period when the notion of success was redefined, not only for Everton but within the game as a whole.
With the financial gulf widening in a league deluged by an influx of foreign investment and media conglomerates, Moyes' Everton became synonymous with operating on a shoe-string budget, in an era of multi-million-pound transfers and bloated wages.
With billionaire takeovers reshaping the landscape of English football forever, the people's club's hopes of breaking through football' s glass ceiling faded, leaving only fear and loathing at Goodison Park.
