The Blue Room - Everton FC Podcast

Everton put in a clinical display at Murrayfield, blacking out Newcastle 3-1 in the penultimate pre-season tune-up before the Palace opener. Thierno Barry, Iliman Ndiaye and Tyrique George all got on the scoresheet as David Moyes' side looked sharp, organised, and ready – particularly the younger players like Armstrong, George, and Dibling.Then we dig into the bigger question hanging over Goodison Park and the Hill Dickinson Stadium alike - what do the Friedkin Group actually want with Everton? We compare TFG's ownership playbook at Roma and Everton side by side - the stadium sagas, the transfer window frustrations, the branding gripes, and the viral photos of a stripped-back Goodison Park that have fans asking whether this is normal reconfiguration or a sign the old ground's been quietly deprioritised. Quick profit or long-term success? Let us know your thoughts.

Paddy has been to Germany and back - but Everton still haven’t signed a full-back, nor have we heard from David Moyes.

Brennan Johnson could be on the way in though, with Dwight McNeil poised to finally get his move to Palace. Is it simply a straight swap? And what will he add to the Everton side?

We also look at Tyler Dibling’s prospects with this move imminent. Is a loan on the cards despite his fine showing in Stuttgart?

2001/02 - a season that is already off to a bad start before it's begun with Everton having sold their two outstanding young players, both of them lifelong Blues. Some good results early on give way to more questions than answers, though. Such as, what does the 'Bruise Brothers' even mean? Would Nick Barmby returning to Goodison really have knocked the 9/11 terror attacks off the front pages? And who does Danny Cadamarteri think he is? Stay tuned for all this, plus an outrageous story from each of your co-hosts. This episode is supported by The Excelsior. Thanks to Gary Lunt and Sean Ponzini for their contributions.
