The first-ever Merseyside Derby at the new stadium is here—and it doesn’t get much bigger than this.

Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas preview a historic clash as Everton host Liverpool in a game packed with emotion, pressure, and huge stakes on both sides. From the atmosphere expected inside Hill Dickinson Stadium to key players like Beto and Iliman Ndiaye, we break down where the game could be won and lost.

There’s talk of momentum, mindset, and whether Everton can finally take advantage of a vulnerable Liverpool side—or if the occasion itself could become the biggest challenge.

Predictions, tactical insight, and everything you need ahead of derby day.

Who wins the first derby at the new ground? Let us know in the comments.

Join Ian Croll, Gavin Buckland, and Tony Scott as the Royal Blue podcast looks ahead to a high-stakes Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

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?

In this episode, the panel breaks down a pivotal year for the Blues' balance sheet. While Everton posted an £8.6m loss—a massive reduction from the previous year’s £53m—the "headline" figure comes with many questions. 

We discuss the £49m internal sale of Everton Women to Roundhouse Capital (TFG) and what this accounting maneuver means for the club's future PSR compliance.

Beyond the spreadsheets, the team addresses the growing fury among the fanbase regarding the Premier League fixture list. Everton has been selected for Monday Night Football seven times this season—more than any other side in the league. With fans voicing their displeasure over the constant travel disruption and kick off times"

Ian and Gav ask: Is the Premier League taking Evertonians for granted?

In this exclusive interview, Ian Croll sits down with Dave Cunningham, the property developer and lifelong Evertonian who stepped up to save Southport FC from the brink of financial collapse in mid-2025.

Alongside co-investor Kieran Malone, Dave has spent the last year transforming the National League North side into a model of sustainability and community pride. Now, he’s opening up about the reality of running a football club, the heavy weight of local legacy, and the unique challenges of the beautiful game.

From an Everton perspective and being a die-hard Blue, Dave shares his candid thoughts on the state of play at Hill Dickinson: The Moyes Era 2.0, season assessment with a look at the campaign so far—where we’ve excelled and where we’re falling short. The Ceiling: Can Everton break back into the elite, or is stability the current priority?

Inside Southport FC, Dave pulls back the curtain on life as an owner, including the rescue mission and why he felt compelled to save Southport and his vision for "building value" over quick fixes.

There’s also the fascinating story behind interviewing Everton legend Duncan Ferguson for the Southport managerial vacancy.

Dave is also dreaming of Wembley, with Southport facing Southend this Saturday in the FA Trophy Semi-Final, Dave discusses the nerves, the excitement, and what a trip to the final would mean for the town.

Join Ian Croll and Tony Scott as they dive into the fallout of a historic afternoon at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton didn't just beat Chelsea; they dismantled them 3-0 in a performance that has sent shockwaves through the Premier League and ignited a fever pitch among the Evertonian faithful.

In this episode, we break down Beto’s performance, Two goals, a dominant physical display, and a standing ovation. Has the big man officially silenced his critics? We discuss whether this is the "reset" moment for the striker and what he offers David Moyes’ side for the run-in.

In the hunt for Europe and with the Blues sitting in 8th and just three points behind Liverpool in 5th, the conversation has shifted from “stability" to dreaming of Europe

Can Everton actually pull off European qualification?

With the Merseyside Derby looming and a huge game away to Brentford beforehand, the confidence from this Chelsea win couldn't have come at a better time. Ian and Tony debate if this is the strongest Everton have looked heading into a clash with the neighbours in over a decade.

Join Chris Beesley, Joe Thomas, and Gavin Buckland on the Royal Blue Podcast for some jubilant reaction and analysis on one of the best nights yet at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton didn't just beat Chelsea; they dismantled them. In a performance defined by tactical discipline and clinical finishing, David Moyes’ men secured a stunning 3-0 victory, blowing the race for European qualification wide open. From the first whistle to the last, the Blues looked like a side that belongs on the continental stage, leaving a billion-pound Chelsea squad searching for answers in their wake.

The panel reflects on the tactical masterclass from the gaffer, the dominant individual displays across the pitch, and why this result feels like a genuine "turning point" for the club’s ambitions.

The Londoners arrive on Merseyside in total disarray following their Champions League exit and a fresh wave of Premier League sanctions. 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. Is there a double standard at play in the Premier League hierarchy?

On the pitch, the opportunity is huge. With Chelsea reeling, can David Moyes’ side take advantage of their fragile confidence and secure a vital win in the hunt for European football?

Join Ian Croll and Tony Scott on the Royal Blue Podcast as they provide the "Final Word" on a sobering afternoon at the Emirates.

Everton’s recent momentum was halted by a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal, but the fallout from North London has been dominated by off-field headlines. 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? The lads also touch on the Premier League’s latest sanctions on Chelsea as they question the severity of the punishment. Finally, with a massive clash at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday evening can Everton exploit a wounded Chelsea?

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? Can the Toffees dust themselves down and find a response when they welcome Chelsea to the Hill Dickinson Stadium this Saturday?

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?

For the first time in years, the Blues are entering the spring without the dark cloud of a relegation battle looming over the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Following a professional 2-0 victory over Burnley, David Moyes’ side has moved onto 43 points, sitting comfortably in 8th place and just two points off the European spots. We give the "Final Word" on that dominant home display and why the mood around the club has shifted so dramatically.

The panel also discusses the incredible redemption of Dwight McNeil. After a difficult January, his Man of the Match performance against his former club proved why he remains vital to this squad. Plus, we look ahead to a massive April as the first-ever Merseyside Derby at the new stadium is moved for TV, and discuss the squad’s upcoming warm-weather training camp in Portugal.

Everton’s sensational away form shows no signs of slowing down! Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley, and Paul Wheelock on the Royal Blue podcast as they dissect a massive 3-2 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park—a result that catapults David Moyes’ men right back into the thick of the European race.

In this episode, the lads break down how Everton’s setup and disciplined approach nullified the Magpies and secured a well-deserved three points on the road.

Is Beto Back? The lads look at the striker’s goal-scoring performance and what it means for his confidence heading into the run-in.

Was that Jordan Pickford save, "Save of the Season". The lads have a reaction to that jaw-dropping Jordan Pickford stop to deny Sandro Tonali in the dying seconds. And Dwight McNeil’s Return: The trio analyse the impact of McNeil’s return to the starting XI and his role in the Blues’ attacking fluency.

While the Blues are flying on their travels, the focus now shifts back to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for Tuesday night’s clash against Burnley. With Everton currently winless in their last seven on home soil, the panel asks: Is this the night the rot finally stops?

With a trip to the North East on the horizon, Ian Croll and Gavin Buckland sit down to preview Everton’s upcoming clash against Newcastle United at St James’ Park. After a frustrating narrow defeat to Manchester United at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the Blues are looking to rediscover their clinical away form against Eddie Howe’s Magpies.

On Today’s Show: David Moyes held his pre-match press conference this morning. The lads "pick the bones" out of the manager's comments, discussing the latest team news—including the return of Jake O’Brien from suspension and the ongoing absence of Jack Grealish.

Selection Dilemmas: Ian and Gavin dive into the usual team selection debate. Does Moyes stick with the side that showed "signs of progress" on Monday, or is it time for a tactical shake-up to handle Newcastle’s high intensity?

The Long-Term Future: With the Blues currently sitting 9th in the table but enduring a winless run at the new stadium, the guys discuss the long-term future of David Moyes. Is he the man to lead Everton into a consistent European charge?

Predictions: We wrap up with our score predictions. Can the Toffees replicate last season's final-day heroics at St James’ Park?

A frustrating night under the lights at the Hill Dickinson Stadium saw Everton fall to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Manchester United. Despite a spirited display, Benjamin Šeško’s second-half strike was enough to condemn the Blues to their seventh consecutive home game without a win—an alarming trend that is threatening to derail a promising campaign.

Host Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley to pick through the bones of another difficult outing on the waterfront. While the Toffees remarkably remain in 9th place and firmly in the hunt for European qualification, the mood among the Goodison faithful—now settled into their new home—is beginning to sour.

It’s a massive Monday Night Football clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium as Everton look to bounce back from a string of frustrating home results. Host Ian Croll is joined by the Manchester Evening News’ United Reporter, Steven Railston, to provide the inside track on a Manchester United side transformed under interim boss Michael Carrick.

With United firmly back in the Champions League conversation following an unbeaten start to the "Carrick Era," the stakes couldn't be higher. Meanwhile, David Moyes' Everton side find themselves in a peculiar position: boasting one of the best away records in the league but struggling to find their rhythm on the banks of the Mersey.

On the Agenda? The Carrick Effect: How has the interim manager steadied the ship at Old Trafford, and what tactical shifts have fueled United's rise into the Top 4?

Home Comforts vs. Away Heroics: We analyze Everton’s struggle for consistency at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium compared to their clinical form on the road.

The European Race: Can the Blues reignite their hunt for a European spot, or will United’s momentum prove too much under the lights?

Key Battles: From the return of Jarrad Branthwaite to United’s attacking threats, where will this game be won and lost?

Everton are seemingly a different  beast away from home compared to at the waterfront. In this episode of the Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll and Chris Beesley dig deep into the numbers to solve the mystery of Everton’s fluctuating form.

Key numbers explained: https://tinyurl.com/ChrisBeesleyArticle180226

With the move to the brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium, expectations were high for a fortress-like atmosphere, but the statistics tell a more complex story. Using Comparisonator’s MyTeam2MyTeam tool, Ian and Chris conduct a forensic examination of the last five Premier League fixtures. They strip away the emotion to compare Everton’s home figures directly against their away performances from the same block of games. Ian and Chris take a look at the key performance indicators (KPIs) where Everton excel on the road but struggle at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Tactical Shifts: Are David Moyes’ side playing a different style of football in front of the home crowd?

Using Comparisonator Analysis and the MyTeam2MyTeam tool, the pair highlight the percentage differences in defensive solidity, chance creation, and clinical finishing between home and away matches. Whether it's a lack of "clinical edge" at home or a more resilient defensive shape on the road, the lads break down exactly what the data says about Everton’s current identity.

In the latest episode of the Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley and Gavin Buckland to dissect a frustrating week for Everton Football Club.

The panel starts with the "final word" on Tuesday night’s 2-1 collapse against Bournemouth. After leading through an Iliman Ndiaye penalty, how did the Blues allow the game to slip away in just four minutes? The lads discuss the costly misses from Thierno Barry and the late red card for Jake O’Brien that summed up a miserable night at the waterfront.

Also on the agenda: Everton’s January Transfer Strategy. With the transfer window closed and only Tyrique George arriving on loan, the trio explores Everton’s strategy. Was the lack of signings a calculated risk or a missed opportunity that will haunt the club’s European ambitions?

The lads turn to home form in a broader sense: Why has Hill Dickinson Stadium become so hospitable to visitors? We look into the alarming home form and the growing concerns regarding the atmosphere, debating whether it’s the stadium design, the scheduling, or simply the performances on the pitch.

And finally, David Moyes is back under the microscope. Is he being stubborn or systematic? The panel questions his recent team selections—specifically the persistence of playing players out of positions when other options are available. Is Moyes being stubborn to a fault

In this latest episode of the Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll is joined by Joe Thomas and Connor O’Neill to dissect a massive three points for Everton following their 2-1 victory over Fulham.

While the scoreboard shows another vital away win for the Toffees, the trio dives into why the result didn't tell the full story of the afternoon. It was a classic game of two halves: Fulham dominated the opening 45 minutes, leaving the Blues lucky to be within touching distance, before a tactical shift and half-time substitutions saw Everton seize control of the second period to ultimately come out on top.

Can the Blues maintain this momentum as the race for the top six heats up?

Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas, and Gav Buckland as the Royal Blue Podcast turns its attention to a crucial Saturday afternoon trip to Craven Cottage.

Everton arrive in West London as one of the Premier League’s most resilient sides, currently unbeaten in four league games and having suffered just one defeat in their last seven. With the Blues breathing down the necks of the top eight, this clash with Fulham is more than just a mid-table meeting—it’s a direct battle for European authority against a side sitting just one place above them in 9th.

The panel also dives into the aftermath of a chaotic Deadline Day. With the loan signing of Tyrique George from Chelsea officially in the building, the big question remains: will David Moyes hand the 19-year-old an immediate debut on the banks of the Thames?

We discuss the details of the loan deal, the all-important option to buy, and exactly where the 19-year-old fits into David Moyes’ tactical setup for the remainder of the campaign.

But the real drama happened in the final hours. We discuss Dwight McNeil’s collapsed £20million move to Crystal Palace. How did the deal fall through at the eleventh hour? Was it a simple paperwork blunder, or is there more to the story?

Following the injury to Jack Grealish and the ongoing lack of a specialist right-back, the loan market is the most logical route. Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill assess who could be available on the loan market and whether they are the right fit for Everton at this moment in time.

However, the result means Everton remain without a home win in five, and frustration is growing despite the fightback. Tune in for analysis of what went wrong early on, what improved after the break, and what must change to turn performances into home wins.

Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas on the Royal Blue podcast to dissect Everton’s magnificent away win at third‑placed Aston Villa. The Blues flew out of the blocks, hitting the post after just 11 seconds, and overcame a contentious offside call and VAR drama to take all three points—another famous result on the road. Standout displays from Jordan Pickford, James Garner, Merlin Rohl and Thierno Barry—who sealed it with a lovely dink over the keeper—take centre stage. With the victory lifting Everton to 10th, just three points off a European spot, the panel assesses what it means for the weeks ahead.

Host Ian Croll is joined by Chris Beesley and Connor O’Neill on the Royal Blue podcast to unpack a bruising week for Everton: a 4-2 home loss to Brentford and a 1-1 draw with bottom-of-the-table Wolves at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The lads dissect the chaos as nine-man Everton battled on amid contentious refereeing and VAR calls—Michael Keane’s hair‑pull red card, Jack Grealish’s dismissal for clapping the referee—and react to the failed appeal. There’s fallout from a furious David Moyes press conference and a look ahead to Saturday’s 12:15pm FA Cup tie against Sunderland.

Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Gavin Buckland on Royal Blue Podcast to tackle the big January question: should Everton recall 18-year‑old midfielder Harrison Armstrong from his Preston North End loan? 

With the Blues’ squad stretched and AFCON likely to sideline key options for up to a month, the panel weigh-up the pros and cons — immediate depth, energy and home‑grown minutes at Hill Dickinson Stadium versus consistent game time, pressure management and long‑term development in the Championship. 

They also assess what a recall would mean for Preston and Everton’s wider January plans. Have your say in the comments and subscribe for more Royal Blue.

Everton fired a brutal reply to Lee Dixon after he questioned why Jordan Pickford had not quit the club. The ITV pundit was on duty on Tuesday night as England cruised past Latvia to book their spot at next summer’s World Cup.

Everton stopper Pickford was selected between the sticks by boss Thomas Tuchel, keeping his ninth consecutive clean sheet for his country on his 80th appearance. And while ex-Arsenal star Dixon was full of praise, he questioned why Pickford had not chosen to move to a ‘bigger club’.

In a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast, Mick Rathbone is Chris Beesley’s guest with the former Everton physio having brought out his new book The Smell Of Football III.

The no-nonsense full-back started his playing career at home city club Birmingham before spells at Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End – where he first worked alongside David Moyes – and Halifax Town before swapping his boots for the physio’s bag. Nicknamed ‘Baz’ after actor Basil Rathbone, who was famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, he shares an array of anecdotes about his two spells at Everton, the first of which lasted from 2002-2010.
Mick, 66, recalls how he was initially scared to take up a role at Goodison Park and tried to price himself out of a move, how he won favour with an intimidating Duncan Ferguson when first arriving through the door, how he was often on the receiving end of players’ practical jokes and how he made up a story about the manner of his departure that prompted Moyes to get straight on the phone to him.
When it comes to his book, the third and final part of the highly acclaimed The Smell Of Football trilogy is told with flair and unique insider insight. Mick concludes his riveting football memoir with a 100-day diary starting in the early 2024/5 season.  
Once again, he brings us a unique insight into the world of professional football, this time through his role as a physio. Written with humour and candour, the book demonstrates that incredibly fine line between winning and losing – the width of a goalpost or a referee’s decision – and the diametrically opposed emotions they bring.
This book is for diehard fans who support their team unconditionally, season after season. It will show them just how much the players and officials really do care and, sadly, just how painful and emotionally draining defeat is.  
It is an honest account that draws on the author’s incredible 50 years in professional sport, bringing to life the day to day running of a professional football club.

Everton were beaten 1-0 by Leeds United at Elland Road having found themselves on the wrong end of what appeared to be a debatable penalty call. Having weathered the storm of intensive pressure from their newly promoted hosts in the first half when they were kept on the back foot, the Blues improved after the break, only to suffer a sucker punch late on when captain James Tarkowski was adjudged to have handled the ball and substitute Lucas Nmechia despatched the resultant spot-kick.

Jack Grealish has joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

The move was signed off after the 29-year-old completed his medical and the clubs reached an agreement that includes an option for the Blues to make it permanent for a fee of £50m. Grealish is the sixth summer signing for David Moyes, who will hope his arrival provides a solution to Everton’s longstanding creative woes.

Join Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill for the Wednesday edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they give their verdict on Everton’s lastest signing.

Everton suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth in their Premier League Summer series opener. Moyes’ men started brightly and edged the first half despite failing to take the lead.

The second half was a different story however, as Bournemouth scored three without reply, two of the goals coming from avoidable mistakes thanks to mishaps from Nathan Patterson and Jake O’Brien. 

Preparation ahead of the game wasn’t helped by more injury woe with Everton missing three central defenders. Moyes was forced to field a makeshift back line which held strong during the first half, but faltered in the second. 

It’s clear that Everton need reinforcements across the pitch and the need for players won’t be helped by Moye’ open and honest comments in a recent Athletic interview where he said the club were struggling to bring in the players he wants. 

The lads on today’s show discuss all that and more on the latest Royal Blue podcast.
