  • Kieran Maguire: Everton’s transition to SCR, latest accounts & UEFA multi-club headache

    Kieran Maguire: Everton’s transition to SCR, latest accounts & UEFA multi-club headache
    Apr 9 2026
    🎙️ 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.

  • Everton’s European Chase | Brentford Preview

    Everton’s European Chase | Brentford Preview
    Apr 8 2026
    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.

Always a good listen, a bit biased but will be more levelheaded than me as an Everton fan.

Professional, biased (in a good way)
