A bumper two-parter this week.

Firstly, Matt and Patric look at the recent ruling that means Everton will have to pay £40m to Burnley over their PSR breaches in recent years. Is the ruling fair? And why are the Blues fuming?

Rob then joins the conversation for the second part, as we look at the new contract for Vitalii Mykolenko and interest in Hayden Hackney.

With the World Cup imminent, it’s no surprise to see a flurry of transfer news. Even Everton are getting in the mix.

Matt and Paddy look at the links to Hayden Hackney and the current state of play. Everton want him, he wants Everton, but is there too big a chasm in terms of Middlesbrough’s valuation of the player?

We also analyse Vitalii Mykolenko’s new deal. It’s a three-year contract for the left-back - is that the right decision?

We finish with thoughts on the Friedkin Group after 18 months at the helm. Do we want to hear more from them? And how ambitious are their plans for the club?
