They are so well run they don't worry about being relegated — they are in it for the fun and they enjoyed winning and competing in the Championship. And I've said it before, that's what football should be about.
Is the claim that the players just aren’t good enough valid, or is it a convenient scapegoat for deeper issues at the club?
This analysis delves into Everton's last three matches, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, and lessons learned.
The opening of the new stadium next year will likely form the basis of ‘Moshiri-Revisionism’, a favourable glow that will turn even more flattering over time as the horror of recent seasons fades from memory… but the overall picture of the departing owner isn’t great
The concluding instalment of Gavin Buckland’s trilogy covering Everton in the Moores era, from the summer of 1985 to 1994 with the Blues in relegation peril
Everton's quest to return to the top of the game may seem futile and the sold-out attendances incomprehensible, certainly for observers across the Pond, but the experience of the likes of Aston Villa and Tottenham offer hope
At the moment, going to Goodison Park is a soul-destroying experience, for players and fans alike. I don't buy into the theory that no-one currently at the club has the power to remove Sean Dyche.
The manager has responded to calls to move Everton’s best forward player into a No 10 role by suggesting that he doesn't yet have the experience or work-rate for it but neither the metrics nor the "eye test" seem to support the argument.
When you consider that the matter of Everton's stadium interest payments as they relate to PSR remains unresolved, our current position in the league is very worrying, especially when you look at the December fixtures.
The story of two brothers: one an international-standard cricketer and footballer who was named an Everton Giant earlier this century; the other having a career in the same sports, but something of a footnote in the Club's history
Rather than end up on the scrap heap after a rollercoaster start to his professional career, it seems as though the Italian striker is finally finding his groove in his native land
The first 11 games of the season reveal a team in search of identity and stability. Defensive inconsistency and a lack of attacking power have hindered results, despite some moments of good football
There’s no guarantee Sean Dyche can see us through to the end of the season, securing our “survival”. In fact the evidence is clear that in competitive terms Dyche is lagging his peers.
This season needs fixing. A new approach, a better manager. Inspiration for the players.
It’s time for Dyche to take a gamble and give Beto the minutes he needs
A timely installment of Real Footballers' Wives featuring Maureen Temple, wife of Everton's FA Cup goalscoring hero Derek, who was born Maureen Molyneux in Dovecot on 31 August 1941 and sadly passed away this week
Will the Friedkins take a chance on one of the up-and-coming managerial names, or will it just be another uninspiringly obvious appointment of whoever happens to be on the dole at that point in time?
There's much to be said about making changes at right-back but Dyche's centre of midfield pick baffles me
I stopped watching the games, even on TV; I visited this site now and again but didn’t participate; I tried to even not read news about them or discuss with relatives and friends.
The touching story of a young Evertonian who was mascot for the Blues' clash with Manchester United in September 1986 and died from Leukaemia within hours of his special moment at Goodison Park.
When the time comes next year to bid farewell to Goodison Park, the Everton heroes from the 1980s will be in attendance. One Club legend, however, looks likely to be a notable absentee from the reunion with no indication that he is willing to end his self-inposed exile from the Grand Old Lady
Over the last 32 years, the Premier League has become dominated by the Red Cartel. How’s that for a monopoly?
Our current manager’s contract is up at the end of the season. Taking into account the dire circumstances Sean Dyche has had to put up with, he has surely earned a new contract. But taking into account the often dire football, question marks remain.
There has been some more clarity regarding The Friedkin Group takeover of Everton released by i News and carried elsewhere, apparently garnered from an article at the Josimar independent website.
Whilst we’ve been good in spells this season (the points tally is lower than we deserve), we should be better. What would make all the difference? Good full-back play, that’s what.
The Friedkin Group's millions will be welcomed. But money isn't what Everton need from them the most.
It is only through excellence across all areas of the club that we can hope to be a success by any measure in the future
When the Friedkins take the helm, hopefully later this year, the impending expiration of Kevin Thelwell's contract will be one of the matters in their in-tray. An argument that he has at least laid the foundations on which we can hope to build a better future.
Too many teams are trying to develop the "expansive", possession-based style embodied by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City where there is merit in a more combative, front-foot style that is attacking but not dull to watch
The Texas-based firm have now agreed a deal for Farhad Moshiri's majority stake but what can Evertonians expect from The Friedkin Group's ownership?
Assuming that TFG's concerns over Everton's debts are assuaged and they acquire Moshiri’s shares, then as with their acquisition of Roma, the real work begins.
Moyes may cast a shadow, but Evertonians must never lose sight of the fact that they deserve managers of the calibre of Howe and Arteta.
To purchase Everton, Textor has to sell his holding in Crystal Palace, whether held directly or indirectly, and the ownership and control of that club is complex. So significant barriers exist, not all answers are known and in the meantime Everton’s competitive and financial position worsens under Farhad Moshiri.
Given Everton’s extreme cash requirements, it would seem the last thing we require is a purchaser relying on debt, possibly even greater debt than Everton already carry.
There’s no questioning Textor’s desire to majority own and control a Premier League club. Whether he can and the possible reasons for doing so are discussed here
A genuine, albeit injury-prone star, James Rodriguez passed by our Evertonian world more like a fleeting comet — the pandemic ensuring that fans didn't ever get to see him play a competitive game in the flesh. He departed in 2021 having delivered some magical moments nonetheless.
For four decades, the responsibility for keeping the famous Goodison Park playing surface in top-top condition lay with the Storey family
We Blues have had to endure some excruciating results over the years, usually a gut punch of reality just when we dared believe things were on the up. Saturday hit as hard as any, perhaps harder for some, but it's early enough to be corrected if the manager can turn things around
Football is one of the few areas of endeavour where rank mediocrity is richly rewarded.
The Gaffer is, in football parlance, a streaky manager and accepting that as our truth may save you a few sleepless nights over the next few months. The big question then is why? And that's much harder to answer.
Dan Sharratt shares his Everton story, inspired by his Dad, Rob, who died last year
Sean Dyche has been far from perfect in his time as Everton manager, but he has also done what his predecessors couldn’t by restoring relative stability and unity from the team on the pitch. Replacing Dyche must happen at some point but we have to acknowledge that we simply aren't ready for that yet.
Stasis will remain the order of the day off the pitch but on it, Everton under Sean Dyche appear well-positioned to at least deliver the kind of mid-table mediocrity fans pined for a year ago following two gruelling battles against relegation
A quick look at the likelier candidates for a possibly outbound Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Robert Tressell compares the value of current Premier League squads and uses this as an indicator for possible outcomes by the end of the new season
He has indelibly written himself into the pages of Everton history but his legacy stands to be tarnished if he ends up seeing out his contract at Goodison and can't deliver goals or performances this coming season
Locally born, he served both Blue and Red during a long and varied career as a player, coach and manager that took him well beyond Britain's shores.
Danish football writer Toke Møller Theilade provides the low-down on the kind of player Everton have signed from Napoli
It so often felt as though Amadou Onana was playing within himself; as if it was better to save himself for bigger things and higher-profile occasions to come. He will feel he has taken a step up with his switch to Aston Villa while Everton have completed an excellent piece of business
Sam Hoare runs his eye over the Everton squad as it stands this summer, and muses over possible incoming players who could improve it.
