Everton fans have taken to the skies with their protests against the club's owners, as a plane trailing the message 'League's worst run club' flew over Goodison Park during Saturday's clash with Arsenal.
Once again, members of the Toffees board stayed away due to safety concerns – having been advised not attend last month's defeat to Southampton for the same reason.
The mood around the Merseyside club has become increasingly toxic in recent weeks, with Everton facing a fight for their Premier League lives.
Majority owner Farhad Moshiri, long-serving chairman Bill Kenwright, and CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale were absent from Sean Dyche's first game in charge, following the sacking of Frank Lampard last week.
Kenwright had received death threats, while the club claimed Barret-Baxendale was physically assaulted as she left the directors' box after the 4-1 home loss to Brighton last month.
It's not the first time a protest banner has been flown over Goodison in recent times: in January last year, a message targeting Kenwright, reading '22 years of failure Bill' was seen during a defeat to Aston Villa.
In both cases, the message included the Twitter handle for TimetogoBill, a campaign apparently calling for the board to step down.
Prior to Saturday's game, hordes of Everton fans marched through the streets outside the ground, behind a banner reading 'A board full of liars'.
