No supernatural powers are needed to work out what most Everton supporters were doing at 5pm on Wednesday.
The jolt of what had happened on Monday had dissipated and been replaced by the predictability encouraged by the deadline the club had set itself for news of the next act in the great drama that is Everton Football Club.
