Without the points deducted by the Premier League under an opaque and inconsistent sanctions framework that saw Forest lose half as many, Everton would have finished 2023-24 in a highly respectable 12th-place berth.
On Wednesday 12 June 2024 several newspapers and other media outlets have run a story claiming that Farhad Moshiri considers a US Insurer A-CAP, run by Kenneth King to be a serious bidder for Everton Football Club. The absurdity of such a claim by Moshiri is beyond belief. After more than nine wasted months of […]
It's vital that whoever succeeds Farhad Moshiri is right for the future prosperity of our Club and our city of Liverpool
Five different entities appear to be in the running when it comes to the future ownership of the Blues. A look at who they are, how much they're worth, and what their plans might be.
There can be no more delay – no more of the complete unprofessionalism that has driven the club to the edge of a competitive and financial cliff
The protracted potential sale of the Club (to the most unsuitable partners) exemplifies this most baffling of characteristics of Everton’s owner.
What needs to be done so that, when we enter our 150th year in four years' time, we are in a much better place than we are now?
There is no simple solution here. Sadly the idea that Everton can escape their current woes without administration is wishful thinking.
There can be no more advocating for Moshiri, nor any advocating for his choice of 777 Partners. All of us, from match going fans, more distant Blues, through to nationally recognised politicians have to step in and ensure our rescue.
It's been a restorative week in terms of the manager’s standing with many fans and Dyche has now proved that he represents a rare and much-needed element of stability at a club still distressed by an uncertain future
The timing of such cannot wait. Yes, we have assured Premier League survival — how fantastic that is — but bigger battles are still to be fought and won
If there was one message that could be delivered to the players, it's that you are a lot better than performances and results have demonstrated in recent weeks. The four key matches against teams around us that remain provide the perfect opportunity to prove it.
Everton's position is desperate but still recoverable. It is a really tough ask but the only survival chance going forwards requires new management, new players (in every sense) on and off the pitch
To complete the analysis of Everton Football Club Company Limited Report and Accounts for 2022-23, Everton Stadium Development Limited warrants its own analysis
Far from being a conditional approval, these are terms that, in my opinion are impossible to meet.
Never has the need for them to act responsibly been greater than it is now.
If the Premier League had had their way, Everton would have been deducted SEVENTEEN points this season. And despite two Independent Commissions and one Appeal Board, they're still fighting the club over stadium interest costs while Nottingham Forest got half the penalty and the Manchester City case remains a mirage
It almost doesn’t require saying but the financial condition of Everton Football Club is frankly absurd, and testament to the atrocious management of the club by Farhad Moshiri.
The club continues to be caught in a perfect storm of underperformance on and off the pitch, combined with the complete indifference of the current owner.
We are reaching the critical point in the Club's ownership saga. Within weeks, the current owner may lose overall control to MSP Sports Capital and administration remains a possibility if 777 Partners' takeover isn't approved
It's almost 2 years ago since we asked How's Thierry Small getting on with the Saints? Things have moved on considerably since then, with the 19-year-old now into his second month of a short-term contract at Charlton Athletic.
If it’s true the Premier League has issued them the reported letter, they have thrown down the gauntlet to 777 Partners: Meet our conditions; otherwise, there is no approval.
Everton couldn't have asked for better circumstances, relative to their wider predicament off the pitch, to turn their form around heading into the final 10 games of the season
It’s a big week ahead for Evertonians. Time to consider our role in decisions made "on our behalfâ€
A neutral's review of the legendary Everton goalkeeper's autobiography
We deserve much more than Farhad Moshiri has delivered. We deserve, the club and city requires, much more than Moshiri promises in terms of his potential new owners in 777 Partners.
The threat of the charge for a second alleged breach of PSR still looms large but the Club and its fans at least have a modicum of clarity about their situation following the Appeal Board ruling
An assessment of Moshiri’s culpability in Everton’s position and a suggestion as to how he can partially redeem himself
The evidence of the past four years shows that the great promise of Video Assistant Referees as a panacea to controversy was a false prophecy. VAR, as implemented by these officials and under the current guidelines, is deeply flawed and the soul of the game suffering for it
Whatever the solution is going forwards, Moshiri has caused huge pain to himself, the club, the fans (most importantly), creditors, sponsors and their backers. The longer we wait for a solution or resolution, the worse our situation becomes.
Out now, a new book that documents unbridled ambition crashing into chaotic reality, starting in 2014 when Farhad Moshiri first began talks about taking a stake in Everton and going right up to the present day.
ToffeeWeb were given exclusive access to Everton's immersive showroom last November to get more than a flavour of our beautiful new ground and the stadium bars and pubs that form the final ALL seasonal membership packages that the club unveiled today
Nev and I recently spoke to Palestine national team player, Mohammed Bassim Rashid, for the Everton legend's podcast ahead of Palestine's opening match at the Asian Cup v Saudi Arabia. It was powerful and poignant as he told us about the impact on the Palestinian football community of Israel's assault on Gaza.
Put yourself in the position of Mr Laurence Rabinowitz KC appearing before the Premier League's independent panel to hear the appeal
It's absurd that Everton could be punished for the same crime twice in the same season
I was deeply sorry to hear about the death of Peter Johnson. I have fond memories of the self-made businessman who, in my eyes, was ambitious, smart, confident and witty. While the former-chairman was not without failings and mistakes – such as proposing ground moves to Aintree and then Cronton, signing Samways and Simonsen and, […]
Asked the question: ‘Do you think the Premier League was sitting there thinking “I wonder how we can punish Everton”? I don’t think the Premier League agenda is that vindictive or simple as being anti-Everton but people seem to continuously overlook what the Premier League is, it’s a cash-generating machine that has a sole aim: […]
What are the options ahead of us? Who should take the pain of our past management?
Let's take a closer look at this thorny business of trying to abide by the Premier League's rules… I mean, we can all safely assume that at least the Premier League themselves will do that, surely?Â
Some excerpts of a new book that has a go at covering a club that has amassed more stats and stories than you could probably contain within one tome.
