Join Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill as they break down a massive week of transfer business at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Everton securing two major young talents on permanent deals.
๐ On The Agenda:
Tyrique George is a Blue! The dynamic 20-year-old winger officially completes a permanent move from Chelsea on a four-year deal following his loan spell. The lads dive into the hefty reported fee—is it a coup for one of England's brightest prospects, or a risk given his limited minutes last term?
Merlin Röhl Formally Activated: The German midfielder's permanent switch from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg is officially processed. After making 17 appearances on loan last season, what does the future hold for the 24-year-old in a competitive engine room?
The Big Selection Dilemma: Where do both players actually fit into the starting lineup under David Moyes? Given their limited game time last season, are these price tags a major gamble, and what are the realistic expectations for them this year?
Who is Next? With early business ticking along nicely, the attention turns to the next priority. The lads discuss who they want to see come through the doors next—with the right-back position sitting right at the very top of the summer wishlist.

In today’s episode, Chris Beesley, Joe Thomas, and Gavin Buckland sit down to dissect a massive week of off-field strategy and transfer negotiations as the Blues reshape the squad for the upcoming campaign.
On the Agenda:
The Hayden Hackney Saga Dragging On โณ Everton are ready to up their bid closer to Middlesbrough's £20million+ valuation for the Championship Player of the Season. The lads break down the latest news on the 24-year-old midfielder, his desire to move to Merseyside, and how a late hijack attempt from Crystal Palace is forcing the club's hand.
Tim Iroegbunam’s Future in Doubt? ๐ Tim Iroegbunam has been heavily linked with a move away from the club. With newly promoted Hull City reportedly willing to match Everton’s £20million asking price, the panel debates whether cashing in on the young midfielder makes sense.
Passing on Tyrique George’s £25m Clause โ Everton have officially decided not to activate the £25million permanent purchase option for Chelsea loanee Tyrique George. Why did David Moyes barely utilize the 20-year-old winger during his short loan spell, and what is the strategic thinking behind letting the clause expire? We discuss why the club hasn't entirely closed the door on George, and how they might try to negotiate a cheaper deal or a second loan structure.
๐ฌ HAVE YOUR SAY: Should Everton pay the £20m+ fee to finally land Hayden Hackney? And would you sell Tim Iroegbunam to fund other incoming transfers? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

In today's episode, Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton reporters Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas to dissect the major talking points surrounding the Blues as the Premier League fixtures drop and pre-season preparations loom.
The main item on today's agenda is manager David Moyes’ controversial interview on talkSPORT. Speaking on Jim White’s show, Moyes caused an immediate stir among the fan base when asked about Everton’s aims and ambitions for the upcoming campaign.
Moyes remarked:“I don’t know if a club like Everton now we can make big, huge strides but we see how well the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing, so there’s no reason why we all shouldn’t have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it. But I would have to say that at Everton we are trying to be back up at the top end of the teams that we can. For long periods of last season we were, we just didn’t quite have enough in the last four or five weeks of the season.”
Unsurprisingly, these comments have not gone down well with many Evertonians. The panel debates whether Moyes is merely injecting a dose of harsh realism regarding the club's current recruitment model, or if he is guilty of deliberately managing expectations downwards.
Furthermore, we address the frustration of fans who feel that comparing a historic giant like Everton to historically smaller clubs like Bournemouth and Brentford shows a glaring lack of elite ambition.

Welcome back to another episode of the Royal Blue Podcast!
Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Gavin Buckland to tackle the biggest talking points surrounding Everton's upcoming summer transfer window.
First up on the agenda is the future of Iliman Ndiaye. The winger has dropped a fresh exit hint following a recent interview where he made it clear he wants to play Champions League football in the near future. With Europe's elite competition out of reach for Everton right now, the lads debate the big dilemma facing the club: Do you fight to keep a key talent, or is it time to cash in?
What is truly the best option for Everton this summer?
Then, things get interesting. We hand Tony and Gavin a hypothetical £100 million war chest to completely revamp and improve the Everton squad.
How far can £100m actually go in today's market?
Who makes the ultimate priority list?
Which positions need desperate reinforcing first?
Get involved in the comments below! Would you keep or sell Ndiaye? And how would you spend a £100m budget this summer?

The fallout continues from a bombshell verdict! Everton have been ordered by a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to pay nearly £40 million (£26m in damages plus over £9m in interest) to Burnley following a landmark legal claim over historic Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) breaches.
Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley, and Gav Buckland as they react to a ruling that has caused absolute fury inside the club and across the wider footballing world.

Everton have been ordered by a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to pay nearly £40 million in compensation and interest to Burnley following a legal claim over Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) breaches.
Host Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton FC correspondent Joe Thomas to break down a decision that the club has branded "fundamentally flawed in both law and fact."
Burnley’s case relies on the legal principle of 'loss of chance,' arguing that if Everton’s point deduction had been applied during the 2021/22 season, the Blues would have been relegated and the Clarets would have stayed up.
The club has already launched an official appeal, warning that this sets a "dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football."
Ian and Joe discuss what this massive ruling means for the club's finances, how The Friedkin Group (TFG) is responding, and why the club insists this won’t trigger any future PSR sanctions.

Vitalii Mykolenko has officially put pen to paper on a new three-year contract extension, committing his future to the Blues until June 2029! While it secures our left-back situation ahead of a massive transfer window, the announcement has sparked a major divide among Evertonians on social media.

In this episode of the Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll and Gavin Buckland sit down to dissect this early piece of summer business and dive deep into the ultimate Mykolenko debate.
Is Mykolenko given a bad rap by Everton fans? We look at his defensive attributes—ranking among the Premier League's top tacklers and interceptors—and ask if the criticism over his attacking output in the final third is justified or completely overblown.
Does He Deserve More Respect? Since arriving from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2022, Mykolenko has been a durable, unchallenged regular who put his head down through grueling relegation battles. With 157 appearances under his belt, has he earned more credit than he gets?
The Ceiling Debate: Is he good enough to take Everton to the next level? As the club aims to push past mid-table mediocrity and fight for European football, is the Ukrainian a reliable foundation piece, or should the club be aiming for a higher-caliber upgrade?
๐ฌ Have Your Say: Are you happy to see Mykolenko tie down his future until 2029? Is he a vital squad player or a symbol of accepted mediocrity? Drop your thoughts in the comments section below!

Welcome back to another packed edition of the Royal Blue Podcast! Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and guest Day Kennedy to unpack the biggest talking points surrounding Everton FC as we head into a pivotal summer.
First up, the lads dive deep into the unfolding contract situation regarding Iliman Ndiaye. Reports indicate Everton face a summer battle to retain the forward, with improved contract offers sitting unsigned on the table for months.
However, despite the media noise, the club isn't panicking just yet. The panel debates: Is this just classic agent posturing, or should Evertonians be genuinely worried about a summer exit?
Moving from Ndiaye to the bigger picture, the team tackles a massive, league-wide question that is dominating modern football: Has the "selling club" tag become an absolute necessity to survive and compete?
"In an era heavily dictated by financial regulations and the massive revenue gap of the 'Big Six,' do clubs like Everton have any choice but to trade their top assets just to fund a competitive squad?"
Ian, Tony and Day discuss the harsh realities of modern football sustainability, the impact on fan ambition, and whether the system is inherently rigged against teams trying to break the glass ceiling.
To close out the show, Ian puts Tony and Day on the hot seat with a rapid-fire Q&A segment. No sitting on the fence allowed! Ian fires over some sharp, unexpected, and thoroughly entertaining questions to test the guys' natural Everton instincts.
What do you think, Blues?
Should we be worried about Ndiaye's contract delay? Is selling your best players the only realistic way to climb the Premier League ladder nowadays? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! ๐

An historic, unforgettable, and ultimately exhausting debut season at the brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium is officially in the books.

Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas, and Connor O’Neill on the Royal Blue bench as they unpack a rollercoaster 2025/26 campaign for Everton Football Club.
The move to the waterfront started with an incredible air of optimism, with the Grand Old Lady’s spirit seamlessly transferring into a stunning new era. For months, the Blues looked like they were building something special. But then came the spring. A catastrophic final run-in—leaving Everton entirely winless since March—dragged fans right back down to earth.
The lads dive deep into the autopsy of the season, breaking down:
The Key Moments: From the spine-tingling first whistle at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to the tactical collapses that halted our momentum.
The Ups and Downs: How a season of such immense promise fizzled out when it mattered most.
The Honor Roll & The Scapegoats: Who stepped up to become icons of the new stadium, and which underachievers left us wanting so much more?
To wrap things up, the panel faces a quick-fire segment to hand out their Player of the Season, Flop of the Season, and their definitive letter grade for the 2025/26 campaign.
