Royal Blue: The Everton FC Podcast

In a special episode of the Royal Blue podcast, the ECHO’s Everton reporter Chris Beesley travels to the home and studio of world-renowned sports artist Paul Trevillion. Dubbed ‘The Master of Movement’, the title of an exhibition of his work showcased at The Strand Gallery in London back in 2014, Trevillion has immortalised the likenesses of some of the biggest names in sport over his stunning career that spans over 70 years. With his unrivalled ability to capture elite athletes in action, he’s produced illustrations of the likes of Pele, Bobby Moore, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Franz Beckenbauer, Sir Ian Botham, Sachin Tendulkar, Andy Murray, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Sugar Ray Robinson and Oscar De La Hoya to name just an illustrious few. It’s his first and most-enduring football idol Dixie Dean who we’re concerned with today though. Paul, who celebrates his 90th birthday on March 11, was transfixed by Dixie ever since he was taken to his first ever game on February 22, 1937, shortly before he turned three, to watch a then Second Division Tottenham Hotspur defeat Everton 4-3 in an FA Cup fifth round replay. Over two decades later, he’d be reunited with the Blues’ most-prolific marksman as he met up with his boyhood hero to produce the legendary centre-forward’s life story for the Liverpool Echo. This incredible series ran in our newspaper for a marathon 21 weeks during the 1960/61 season. Still razor sharp and a larger-than-life character and raconteur, Trevillion talks us through his incredible memories of an Everton legend. #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas make the starting line-up for today’s Royal Blue Podcast as they analyse Everton’s draw with Crystal Palace and discuss the latest on the points deduction. Everton failed to secure their first Premier League win in over two months against Crystal Palace but they came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw that takes them out of the relegation zone on goal difference. Jordan Ayew stunned Goodison Park when he fired the Eagles in front on 66 minutes but six minutes from the end, Amadou Onana headed the Blues level from a Dwight McNeil corner-kick to clinch what could be a precious point for Sean Dyche's side. #EFC #EvertonFootballClub #EvertonFC Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today’s Royal Blue Podcast features Joe Thomas & Chris Beesley who discuss last night’s 0-0 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage. Beto missed a huge chance to win it at the death and the Toffees were once again frustrated with VAR in the first half against Fulham after Antonee Robinson escaped punishment for what looked like a clear first half handball. James Tarkowski's deflected effort hit the bar and Robinson handled only for the referee and VAR to decide against giving a penalty as the sides went in goalless at half-time. Everton are the only team in the Premier League yet to have been awarded a penalty and the controversy over the club's treatment at the hands of officials only deepened on a turbulent night in West London. Yet once again this season, the major talking point is a contentious decision that did not go Everton’s way. Few, if any, have this season - hence the reason disbelief and anger has now turned into exhausted expectation within parts of the club and its fanbase. #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub #LIVE Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today’s Royal Blue Podcast features Ian Croll and Joe Thomas. Sean Dyche acknowledged Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s partnership had looked ‘rusty’ as he detailed his search for answers over Everton’s injury list. The pair started up front together for the first time as Dyche shifted his approach in an attempt to deal with the absence of Abdoulaye Doucoure and Andre Gomes. After the FA Cup defeat, Dyche said he had learned something new from watching the pair together - a lesson that could be key with Doucoure expected to miss the Premier League trip to Fulham in midweek. The lads on today’s show breakdown the result and performance from Everton’s embarrassing cup exit. As well as look ahead to Fulham on Tuesday night as well as Thursday’s Deadline Day and whether we can expect any incomings or outgoings. #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today’s Royal Blue Podcast features Ian Croll and Chris Beesley. As Everton prepare to appeal the sanction handed down for one profit and sustainability breach and defend a second case, points deductions are not the only concern. As per recent reports, a transfer ban would be seriously problematic for Everton should the Premier League and its independent panel see it as a fit and proper punishment. This would come at a time when the club was hoping to transition towards a better, more sustainable, competitive future. Chris and Ian sit down and discuss these recent reports as well as the latest transfer rumours and the up and coming 4th Round FA Cup tie against Luton Town.

The Royal Blue Podcast featuring Ian Croll, Gav Buckland & Chris Beesley. After a start to the week in which the club was hit with a new Premier League profit and sustainability charge, Everton turned their attention back to on-pitch matters last night by beating Crystal Palace at Goodison Park to progress to the FA Cup fourth round.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has broken his silence on the decision to charge Everton with a breach of Profit and Sustainability Regulations for the second time in just over a year. On Monday the Toffees were landed with another charge for a breach of PSR and will, along with Nottingham Forest, be referred to an independent commission, a move made at the same time as the club are already appealing against the first decision of the commission to hand the club a 10-point deduction. Should Everton be found guilty by the independent commission then they could suffer a second points deduction in the same season, with the club unhappy that they are being punished twice having already been charged for 75% of the breaches over the three-year period.

The Royal Blue Podcast featuring Connor O’Neill, Joe Thomas & Matt Jones. Everton were yesterday charged by the Premier League for breaching the Profit and Sustainability rules. The Blues now face a second points deduction after they were hit with a 10-point penalty in November. Sean Dyche's side became the first to break the rules which left Sean Dyche's side in the thick of a relegation battle. An independent panel will now review the case as Everton fall under scrutiny covering 12 months to last summer, including the tenure of former manager Frank Lampard Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today's Royal Blue Podcast features Joe Thomas, Chris Beesley & Gav Buckland. Everton have been charged with a further breach of spending regulations by the Premier League.The club was today formally notified of new allegations after a review of the accounts for the football financial year that ended last summer. Everton now have a fortnight to respond to the accusations, which are expected to end up before an independent commission that will aim to assess the case before the end of this season. The only thing that could impact that process would be if the club has significant success in its appeal against the 10 point deduction it has already received under the same regulations. The club's focus is on that appeal, believing its findings will directly impact the arguments at the centre of the new case. It is anticipated the appeal will be concluded before the new case is considered. If Everton are ultimately found to have breached profit and sustainability regulations again then the club could face a further points deduction this season, though other sanctions would also be available to the ruling panel.

Host Chris Beesley returns from Selhurst Park with Joe Thomas to discuss Everton's FA Cup third round controversy alongside regular guest Gavin Buckland. Everton have launched an appeal against the red card handed to Dominic Calvert-Lewin against Crystal Palace. The forward was sent off amid controversy in the FA Cup third round at Selhurst Park after referee Chris Kavanagh was ordered to review his challenge on Nathaniel Clyne. Kavanagh had seen no issue with the incident in real-time but, predictably, reversed his call once he was sent to the pitch side monitor. It was a contentious decision that has sparked outrage inside and outside the Everton camp. And while the Blues were still able to fight through the adversity and take the game to a replay it will have serious consequences for the club.

Everton's run in the Carabao Cup ended in heartbreak after losing to a penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Fulham. Penalty misses from Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gana Gueye saw the Cottagers prevail 7-6. Despite the cup exit, manager Sean Dyche hailed his team’s performance and refused to criticise Onana despite a tame effort. In the latest Royal Blue podcast Ian Croll & Connor O’Neill discuss yet another disappointing cup exit and that now infamous Onana penalty.

Abdoulaye Doucoure has netted 15 times for Everton in his century of matches, giving him an overall strike rate of a goal every 6.67 games. However, 11 of those goals have come in the last 26 matches, to produce a goal every 2.36 matches, an incredible rate for a midfielder, especially when you consider that the Blues’ main striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 50 Premier League goals have been over 193 appearances, for a goal every 3.86 games. Other than being Everton’s “Johnny on the spot” as Dyche has called him – Doucoure was again in the right place at the right time to stick the ball in the net against the Londoners after Calvert-Lewin’s initial shot was saved – just how has his game actually altered since the change of management at Goodison Park? Ian Croll and Chris Beesley sit down for the third Royal Blue podcast of the week to discuss all things Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Mauricio Pochettino insisted Chelsea were the better side at Goodison Park despite losing 2-0 to Everton. Second half goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin gave Sean Dyche’s men a third successive win and if it wasn’t for the club’s 10-point deduction – the heaviest sporting penalty in the 135-year history of English top flight football – Everton would now be four points clear of the big-spending west London club in the Premier League table. However, their Argentinian head coach maintained his team were the superior outfit. In tonight's Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll and Matt Jones talk over Everton's second home win in as many games and discuss the Chelsea manager's comments.
