BARRY HORNE: Everton FC must look forward not back after Europa League exit
AFTER Everton's poor showing in Lisbon our season is effectively over.[LNB]Nevertheless I still think it's been a great year for the club and David Moyes and the players have done absolutely great.[LNB]If you look at the state of some clubs' debt Everton have done fantastically given their early season difficulties.[LNB]The value of the squad has systematically imp- roved year after year, bearing in mind what David Moyes inherited from Walter Smith.[LNB]Everton then were where Portsmouth are now - in possession of a long list of short term buys to do a short term job.[LNB]To get to where we are in the league has been remarkable, but the one disappointment of this year has been our cup performances.[LNB]It's perhaps a little early to be looking forward to next season, but in many respects it's not.[LNB]David Moyes and his staff will have a long, long look at preparations for next season and hopefully have a lot more luck in the early stages to build a better platform to renew an assault on the top six.
