Everton legend Graeme Sharp believes fans can go into next season with hope despite ending the current campaign poorly. Sharp, whose 160 goals for the Blues are second only to all-time leading scorer Dixie Dean, won a brace of League Championships with the club and played in their victories in the 1984 FA Cup final and 1985 European Cup-Winners' Cup final, netting in the former. Sharp, who had managerial spells himself at O, believes the current squad has the potential to improve and reach European competition. He praised the team's performance against Chelsea, saying the atmosphere that night was probably the best it's been. Sharp also expressed his optimism about the team's chances under fellow Glaswegian David Moyes, saying he thinks David has done a good job. Sharp believes the team should go into the new season full of hope, despite ending the current campaign poorly. Sharp also mentioned the team's pre-season friendly against Newcastle United, saying he hopes a big crowd comes up and the team wins. Sharp also praised the stadium, saying it's absolutely fantastic and iconic. Sharp also mentioned the Edinburgh Fringe, saying the city will be buzzing and really busy. Sharp also mentioned the team's fan clubs in Scotland, saying it's an ideal opportunity for the Scotland-based Evertonians to watch Everton against Premier League opposition without having to travel that far.
