Royal Blue

Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas and Gav Buckland as they look ahead to Everton’s Saturday 3pm kick off against West Ham United. There is further reaction and opinion to Everton’s point deduction appeal verdict with the topic of conversation very much centred around the second breach and what that means for future points deductions.  Those listening live on YouTube and Facebook were very keen to stress the double jeopardy defence and how Everton can avoid yet more bad news in the coming weeks and months.  All that and more on Friday’s Royal Blue Podcast.  #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas as they react to today’s breaking news.  The 10-point penalty handed to Everton for breaching Premier League spending rules has been reduced on appeal. A specially-convened panel, which heard arguments over the case earlier this year, has lessened the sanction by four points. That decision offers an immediate boost to a club that has been engulfed in off-the-pitch controversy since being sanctioned in November. #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Host Chris Beesley joins colleague Joe Thomas, the ECHO's Everton correspondent, and regular guest Gavin Buckland for the latest edition of the Royal Blue podcast as they preview the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion. An emphatic 5-1 victory for Sean Dyche's side at the Amex Stadium last May played a huge role in Everton's Premier League survival but the Blues head down to the Sussex coast without a Premier League win in over two months after Monday night's disappointing display in their 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Since then, with the wait for the appeal verdict still lingering on, Dyche has admitted for the first time that Everton's points deduction is having an impact on his players with the panel discussing the comments from his pre-match press conference. #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill are recalled to the starting lineup for today’s Royal Blue Podcast as they discuss the latest on the points deduction and the 777 takeover. Also, Sean Dyche spoke to the media this afternoon ahead of his side’s game with Brighton on Saturday. The lads breakdown what the gaffer had to say with the latest on the appeal and injuries on the agenda.  The Blues are back in action after a disappointing showing on Monday night. A late header from Amadou Onana rescued a 1-1 draw for Everton against Crystal Palace, but the performance was under-par and a huge opportunity was missed to pull clear of relegation trouble. Still, Luton Town's loss to Liverpool on Wednesday means Dyche's side go into the weekend outside the relegation zone. And while they have not won since December in the top flight, last season they produced a remarkable display to triumph 5-1 at the Seagulls. That game will no doubt be one of the talking points today, not to mention the ongoing wait for a result of Everton's a

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,

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.

Ian Croll, Gav Buckland and Joe Thomas are on duty for today’s Royal Blue Podcast as they preview The Toffee’s 25th Premier League game of the season.  Everton return to Premier League action on Monday night when they take on Crystal Palace at Goodison Park. The Blues were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City last time out, with Erling Haaland scoring twice during the second-half. The defeat left Sean Dyche’s side inside the relegation zone. Abdoulaye Doucoure looks poised to hand Everton a major fitness boost after he was photographed sprinting in training at Finch Farm. Currently there are at least five members of the senior playing staff with known question marks over their fitness as we await further updates from Sean Dyche, who will sit down for his press conference on Saturday.  #EFC #EvertonFC #EvertonFootballClub Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today’s Royal Blue Podcast features Connor O’Neill & Joe Thomas. Sean Dyche believes there should be understanding for managers like himself and their reaction to decisions following his touchline ban for Everton’s trip to Manchester City.

In today's Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll and Chris Beesley sat down and reacted to what the gaffer had to say during his pre-Manchester City press conference. Everton boss Sean Dyche spoke to the media on Thursday (8th) at 1:30pm, two days out from the visit to the English and European champions Manchester City.

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 #EvertonF

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.  Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

Today’s Royal Blue Podcast features Paul Wheelock, Joe Thomas & Gav Buckland. There is no way Everton will want to lose Abdoulaye Doucoure this month, but according to Fabrizio Romano, Doucoure is wanted by Steven Gerrard at Saudi Pro League strugglers Al Ettifaq after the release of former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson to join Ajax.

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. The 1-0 win was sealed with a fabulous free kick from Andre Gomes and sets up another home tie, this time against Premier League strugglers Luton Town on January 27.

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.
