🎙️ The Financial Tightrope: Stadium Gains vs. UEFA Stumbling Blocks EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee In this episode of the Royal Blue Podcast, host Ian Croll sits down with the "Price of Football" expert Kieran Maguire to dissect a transformative week in Everton’s history. From the final set of accounts at Goodison Park to the looming shadow of UEFA’s rulebook, we break down exactly where the Toffees stand under The Friedkin Group (TFG). On the Agenda: Everton’s latest accounts show a drastic reduction in losses, but how much of that is "real" growth? We look at the £196.7m record turnover and the impact of the £49.2m internal sale of the Women’s team to TFG-owned Roundhouse Capital. Was this a masterstroke of accounting or a temporary PSR band-aid? The PSR to SCR Transition: As the Premier League moves toward Squad Cost Ratio (SCR), the rules are changing. Kieran explains the "70% vs 85%" dilemma: Why qualifying for Europe might actually trigger stricter spending limits for Everton than staying at home. The Roma Conflict: With Dan Friedkin at the helm of both Everton and AS Roma, we explore the "Integrity of Competition" headache. If both clubs secure a Europa League spot, who gets demoted? The March 1 Technicality: The deadline for a "blind trust" solution has reportedly passed without word from the club. Kieran weighs in on the risk of Everton being excluded from European competition on a technicality—even if the players earn it on the pitch at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Don't miss this deep dive into the numbers that will define Everton’s next decade. #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Royal Blue: The Return of the Blues EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Ian Croll and Chris Beesley are back in the studio to digest the international break and look ahead to the return of Premier League action! With Everton traveling to face Brentford this Saturday, the lads dive into the big talking points surrounding David Moyes' squad as they push for a strong finish to the 2025/26 campaign. On the Agenda Today the lads analyse Everton's form coming back from an International Break. Is there a question of an International Hangover? Can the Blues hit the ground running at the Gtech Community Stadium, or will the "international lull" bite again? The Thierno Barry Incident: A deep dive into the recent friction between the summer signing and the fanbase. After the fallout from the Arsenal match and the subsequent reaction at the Chelsea game, we ask: how does Barry bridge the gap with the Evertonians? Iliman Ndiaye is reportedly attracting heavy interest from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. With his stock at an all-time high, we discuss what the club needs to do to keep him happy. Is a bumper new contract the only way to fend off the vultures? The Tyler Dibling Conundrum: It’s been a tough debut season for the young winger since his move from Southampton. With limited minutes and zero goal contributions so far, we debate whether Dibling can still play a "wildcard" role in these final few games of the season. #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

David Moyes, the Friedkin Era, and Everton’s European Charge 🔵 EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Ian Croll is joined by the Daily Mirror’s Chief Sports Writer, Andy Dunn, for a deep dive into a transformative period for Everton Football Club. With the Friedkin Group now at the helm in the club’s debut season at Hill Dickinson Stadium, the landscape at Everton has shifted dramatically. At the heart of this revival is a familiar face: David Moyes. Since his return to the dugout in January 2025, Moyes has silenced the skeptics, dragging the Blues away from the relegation mire and into a genuine battle for European football. As we sit 8th in the Premier League, the conversation shifts to the long-term: has Moyes done enough to earn a new contract under the new ownership? In this episode, we discuss how David Moyes transformed the team's culture and results since replacing Sean Dyche. Should the new owners stick with Moyes beyond next season or look for a "statement" appointment? Everton have gone from a crisis club to a club on the up - but how does the rest of the country view the Everton rebuild? Andy drops his thoughts on national opinion. With continental football in touching distance, can Everton maintain their form in the final stretch? Andy gives his season ending prediction. Following the International break there are potentially two season-defining fixtures ahead as Ian and Andy preview two massive games against Brentford and the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool—clashes that could decide our European fate #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Everton, Aston Villa & Newcastle: Breaking the Premier League Glass Ceiling | The Royal Blue EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee The Premier League’s financial landscape is shifting. As we move from the era of Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) to the new Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) for the 2026/27 season, the "challenger" clubs find themselves at a crossroads. Join Ian Croll (Everton), Dan Rolinson (Aston Villa), and Andrew Musgrove (Newcastle United) as they dive deep into what these changes mean for the clubs trying to shatter the traditional "Big Six" monopoly. What’s on the Agenda? The PSR Post-Mortem: How Everton became the "canary in the coal mine" for points deductions, and why Newcastle and Villa have had to stall their rapid growth to stay compliant. The New Frontier (SCR): Breaking down the 85% revenue-to-squad-cost cap (and the stricter 70% cap for those in Europe). Is this a "tactical handbrake" for ambitious owners, or a fairer way to monitor spending in real-time? The "Glass Ceiling" Debate: With rules now tethered directly to revenue, does this simply bake in the advantage of the highest earners? Or do the new "rollover" allowances and academy profit loopholes offer a genuine path to the top? Club-Specific Impacts: Everton: Transitioning into a new stadium—how will increased matchday revenue under SCR change their recruitment power? Aston Villa: Balancing Champions League ambitions with the 70% UEFA-aligned threshold. Newcastle: Can the "richest club in the world" finally flex its financial muscle, or is the ceiling now reinforced with steel? #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

But while Chelsea deal with their off-field "woes," the blue half of Liverpool is fuming. We discuss the fallout from Chelsea’s recent fine for rule-breaking—a punishment many Evertonians feel is incredibly lenient given the points deductions handed down to the Toffees in recent seasons.

The panel dives into the growing tension surrounding Thierno Barry; after a controversial social media post, has the striker fractured his relationship with the Everton faithful beyond repair? Meanwhile, Beto’s struggles in front of goal continue, but the Portuguese forward has found support from a statistical mastermind—Brentford owner Matthew Benham. We discuss Benham’s surprising comments and whether the data still suggests a breakthrough is coming for the Blues' number nine. Also on today’s agenda: Why did David Moyes refuse to answer questions on the Branthwaite & Tarkowski injury situation?

Royal Blue Podcast: Late Heartbreak at the Emirates 🔵⚪️ EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas dissect a frustrating afternoon in North London as Everton fell to a late 2-0 defeat against league leaders Arsenal. It was a classic "game of two halves" for David Moyes' side. The Blues were arguably the better team for the opening 45 minutes, with Dwight McNeil coming agonisingly close to an opener after hitting the post and forcing a world-class save from David Raya. However, the second-half told a different story. The panel breaks down the decisive moments. The Breakthrough came from a rare Jordan Pickford misjudgment that allowed Viktor Gyökeres to pounce. With the Blues pushing for a last-gasp equaliser, Pickford went up for a corner, only for 16-year-old Max Dowman to break away and slot into an empty net, becoming the youngest scorer in Premier League history. With the gap to the top six widening, can Everton afford many more "spirited" defeats if they want to secure a return to continental football?

Royal Blue: Can Everton Topple the Leaders? 🔵⚪️ EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Everton take their "incredible" away form to North London this Saturday as they face Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates. With the Gunners eyeing the title and the Blues surging toward a European spot, Ian Croll and Chris Beesley break down one of the biggest tests of David Moyes' second stint. We look at Everton's clinical away performances—boasting 24 points on the road this season—and whether that tactical discipline can stifle Mikel Arteta's high-fliers. The European Charge: Following back-to-back wins over Newcastle and Burnley, the Toffees sit 8th and are within touching distance of the top six. Is a return to Europe actually on the cards? Emirates Challenge: Arsenal are 7 points clear at the top and haven't lost to Everton at home since 2021. Can Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski keep the league's most potent attack quiet? Will Moyes stick with the winning formula, or will we see a tactical shift to counter the Gunners' midfield dominance? #EFC #EvertonFC #DavidMoyes #EvertonStadium #HillDickinson #RoyalBlue Chris Beesley's Book: Spirit of the Blues: https://tinyurl.com/35yrkvdb *Emotional farewell to Goodison Park | 16-page Everton souvenir picture special:* https://shop.regionalnewspapers.co.uk/liverpool-echo-monday-19th-may-2025-4583-p.asp *Goodbye to Goodison special souvenir edition:* https://tinyurl.com/GoodbyeGoodisonSouvenir *Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here:* https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEndEverton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.
