Philip Carter (from December 1998) During the 1998–99 English football season, Everton F.C. competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

Everton continued to look a shadow of their former selves after Howard Kendall made way for new manager Walter Smith, though their 14th-place finish was a three-place improvement upon last season's near miss with relegation. With Smith having achieved so much success north of the border with Rangers, he had been expected to bring some success to the blue half of Merseyside after two seasons of misery, but there was little for the Goodison Park faithful to shout about.

Off the field during the season in December, there was a chairmanship change in the boardroom when Peter Johnson quit after 11 years with the club following a row with manager Smith after Johnson controversially sold Duncan Ferguson to Newcastle United for £7m and Philip Carter took over the reins.
