Following a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Brentford—salvaged by a late Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall strike—the Toffees return home with Europe in their sights. Currently sitting 8th on 47 points, David Moyes’ side has a massive opportunity to reel in the neighbours. The timing couldn't be better for Everton. Arne Slot’s Liverpool will arrive at Hill Dickinson Stadium nursing a European hangover after crashing out of the Champions League quarter-finals to PSG last night. With the Reds sitting 5th and only five points ahead of Everton, a win on Sunday would blow the race for European football wide open. #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: Dewsbury-Hall Rescues a Point at the Gtech & Season Ticket Price Hikes. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Join Ian Croll and Joe Thomas for a post-match reaction as Everton showed serious fighting spirit to snatch a point in a chaotic 2-2 draw away at Brentford. The Blues looked to be heading for a narrow defeat until Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall popped up in the 91st minute to sweep home a dramatic equaliser, silencing the Gtech Community Stadium and sending the travelling Toffees into raptures. We break down the key moments, from Beto's first-half header to the defensive lapses that twice gave the Bees the lead, and ask: is this the "never-say-die" attitude David Moyes has truly instilled in this European-chasing squad? Was a draw a fair result? We discuss the resilience shown to come from behind twice and Dewsbury-Hall's knack for scoring "clutch" goals. We’ve also got reaction to Friday’s announcement regarding season ticket price increases for the 2026/27 season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. With some fans facing rises of up to 10%, we discuss the timing and the impact on the loyal match-going fanbase. Finally a quick look ahead to Sunday. The Merseyside Derby is looming—can Everton carry this momentum into a massive clash against the neighbors? #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.

    Kieran Maguire: Everton’s transition to SCR, latest accounts & UEFA multi-club headache
    2026/04/09
    🎙️ 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.

    The European Chase – Brentford Preview EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee Join Ian Croll, Tony Scott, and Gavin Buckland on the Royal Blue YouTube channel as they dive into a season-defining week for Everton Football Club. With the Toffees currently locked in a dead heat with the Bees on 46 points, this weekend’s trip to the Gtech Community Stadium is effectively a "European Play-off." Can David Moyes’ men find the away form needed to leapfrog their rivals and keep the Champions League dream alive? Also on the agenda the lads discuss the latest from the medical room with Iliman Ndiaye giving Everton a much needed boost after his injury international break scare. Plus, the latest on the defensive line-up following the recent absences of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite. In terms of the tactical battle, how does Moyes set up against Keith Andrews’ Brentford side? And in the race of the Top 5 with Liverpool and Chelsea faltering, the panel discusses whether the unthinkable is actually possible. Are Everton ready for the Champions League, or should the focus remain on securing any form of continental football for the first season at Hill Dickinson Stadium? #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’s Post-International Break Record Ahead Of Huge Brentford Trip!
    2026/04/07
    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.

    Andy Dunn: Moyes’ Contract, the Friedkin Era, Everton’s European Charge!
    2026/04/03
    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.

  • Breaking the Premier League Glass Ceiling!

    Breaking the Premier League Glass Ceiling!
    2026/04/02
    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.
