Welcome back to the Royal Blue podcast! EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee  In today's episode, Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton reporters Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas to dissect the major talking points surrounding the Blues as the Premier League fixtures drop and pre-season preparations loom. The main item on today's agenda is manager David Moyes' controversial interview on talkSPORT. Speaking on Jim White's show, Moyes caused an immediate stir among the fan base when asked about Everton's aims and ambitions for the upcoming campaign. Moyes remarked:“I don't know if a club like Everton now we can make big, huge strides but we see how well the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing, so there's no reason why we all shouldn't have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it. But I would have to say that at Everton we are trying to be back up at the top end of the teams that we can. For long periods of last season we were, we just didn't quite have enough in the last four or five weeks of the season.” Unsurprisingly, these comments have not gone down well with many Evertonians. The panel debates whether Moyes is merely injecting a dose of harsh realism regarding the club's current recruitment model, or if he is guilty of deliberately managing expectations downwards.  Furthermore, we address the frustration of fans who feel that comparing a historic giant like Everton to historically smaller clubs like Bournemouth and Brentford shows a glaring lack of elite ambition.

The fallout continues from a bombshell verdict!

In this clip from Journo Insight, Ste is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Paul Gorst to discuss Yan Diomande's potential transfer to Liverpool and if the World Cup could affect the deal. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Everton have been ordered by a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to pay nearly £40 million in compensation and interest to Burnley following a legal claim over Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) breaches. Host Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton FC correspondent Joe Thomas to break down a decision that the club has branded "fundamentally flawed in both law and fact." Burnley's case relies on the legal principle of 'loss of chance,' arguing that if Everton's point deduction had been applied during the 2021/22 season, the Blues would have been relegated and the Clarets would have stayed up.  The club has already launched an official appeal, warning that this sets a "dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football." Ian and Joe discuss what this massive ruling means for the club's finances, how The Friedkin Group (TFG) is responding, and why the club insists this won't trigger any future PSR sanctions.

Vitalii Mykolenko has officially put pen to paper on a new three-year contract extension, committing his future to the Blues until June 2029! While it secures our left-back situation ahead of a massive transfer window, the announcement has sparked a major divide among Evertonians on social media. 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, Ian Croll and Gavin Buckland sit down to dissect this early piece of summer business and dive deep into the ultimate Mykolenko debate. Is Mykolenko given a bad rap by Everton fans? We look at his defensive attributes—ranking among the Premier League's top tacklers and interceptors—and ask if the criticism over his attacking output in the final third is justified or completely overblown. Does He Deserve More Respect? Since arriving from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2022, Mykolenko has been a durable, unchallenged regular who put his head down through grueling relegation battles. With 157 appearances under his belt, has he earned more credit than he gets? The Ceiling Debate: Is he good enough to take Everton to the next level? As the club aims to push past mid-table mediocrity and fight for European football, is the Ukrainian a reliable foundation piece, or should the club be aiming for a higher-caliber upgrade?

Welcome back to another packed edition of the Royal Blue Podcast! Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and guest Day Kennedy to unpack the biggest talking points surrounding Everton FC as we head into a pivotal summer. First up, the lads dive deep into the unfolding contract situation regarding Iliman Ndiaye. Reports indicate Everton face a summer battle to retain the forward, with improved contract offers sitting unsigned on the table for months. However, despite the media noise, the club isn't panicking just yet. The panel debates: Is this just classic agent posturing, or should Evertonians be genuinely worried about a summer exit? Moving from Ndiaye to the bigger picture, the team tackles a massive, league-wide question that is dominating modern football: Has the "selling club" tag become an absolute necessity to survive and compete? "In an era heavily dictated by financial regulations and the massive revenue gap of the 'Big Six,' do clubs like Everton have any choice but to trade their top assets just to fund a competitive squad?" Ian, Tony and Day discuss the harsh realities of modern football sustainability, the impact on fan ambition, and whether the system is inherently rigged against teams trying to break the glass ceiling. To close out the show, Ian puts Tony and Day on the hot seat with a rapid-fire Q&A segment. No sitting on the fence allowed! Ian fires over some sharp, unexpected, and thoroughly entertaining questions to test the guys' natural Everton instincts. What do you think, Blues? Should we be worried about Ndiaye's contract delay? Is selling your best players the only realistic way to climb the Premier League ladder nowadays? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
