When will Everton make George and Grealish transfer decisions? | Byline 96

The Blue Room — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 23:00:00 GMT

The season is over, so Matt and Paddy go down some rabbit holes this week.

We talk Anthony Gordon’s transfer to Barcelona and what it means for Everton’s academy on a big day for the youth setup, as Dean Rastrick begins his role as the academy director.

Paddy also fills us in on the Blues’ transfer plans with the World Cup looming. We also debate the merits in bringing Tyrique George and Jack Grealish back again next season.

We’re also looking for your thoughts on the Friedkin Group’s tenure in charge so far. What have you liked? What can be better?

Talking the Blues Podcast, 31st May 2026 & revolution is in the air

Sun, 31 May 2026 15:32:54 GMT

Welcome to this week’s Talking the Blues Podcast with George and Andy Costigan. Not yet two weeks into the close season and talk of revolution fills the corridors of power within Talking the Blues. A wide ranging and (I think) very interesting conversation about the values of the modern game and the role of fans.

Special addition of the esk podcasts, a look back at Everton’s season with Richard Watts

Fri, 29 May 2026 17:17:22 GMT

At the end of a season that fizzled out in so many ways, it was good to get the level headed opinions of an old friend of this website, a campaigner in the tough years at the end of the Moshiri era, and life long Blue, Richard Watts.

Richard and I talk through the season before drawing conclusions on what happens over the summer. Hope you enjoy it, and agree with many of the conclusions drawn!

Everton 2025/26 Season Review: Key Moments, Ups & Downs, Success or Failure?

Reach Podcasts — Fri, 29 May 2026 13:30:00 GMT

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

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

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.

Toffee Thursday - Where did it all go wrong? A look back on Everton's 25/26 season

The Blue Room — Thu, 28 May 2026 19:12:00 GMT

A season that promised so much for so long fell so flat right at the end. To make matters worse, Sunderland, who were content with a mid-table finish until about an hour into the penultimate game of the season, finished in a Europa League spot.
But what went wrong? Was it the players? Was it the manager? Was it the new ground? Was it the fans' fault for hoping that Everton could, for once, make us all dead happy?

Reach Podcasts — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:15:00 GMT

Everton’s season ends in a frustrating slump. In this latest edition of the Royal Blue Podcast, Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas reflect on the final game of the season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While Everton's Premier League future wasn’t on the line this year, a straight shootout between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United saw Everton fail to make Spurs work for their safety. The lads break down the tactical frustrations, David Moyes' setup, Jake O'Brien continually being forced out of position at right-back, and how Sunderland's massive leapfrog has fundamentally changed the mood of the Everton fanbase.

Talking the Blues Podcast – Spurs (a) a desperate end to the 2025/26 season

Mon, 25 May 2026 12:36:19 GMT

Welcome to the final Talking the Blues Podcast of the 2025/26 season when we ask some pretty fundamental questions of the club, the direction in which we are going, and just how competitive are we in every aspect of running a modern day football club.

David Moyes does not get a free ride but also much bigger questions are asked about the owners and what the current purpose of the club is?

When will there be a decision on Moyes' Everton future? | Byline 95

The Blue Room — Mon, 25 May 2026 09:34:00 GMT

Matt and Paddy look back and forward on an episode that has less structure than an Everton back four. Why have things unraveled so spectacularly in the last seven games and will there be any accountability for it? There’s also a look at David Moyes’ - who was very spiky in his post-match presser - situation and the three avenues Everton could potentially explore with it. And if Moyes is to move on, do the Blues need to revamp their recruitment team? 🤝 NORD VPN DEAL Get our exclusive deal: Big savings + 4 months extra: ⁠https://nordvpn.com/blueroom⁠ ➕ BLUE ROOM EXTRA Get exclusive content and all of our podcasts ad-free when you sign up to Blue Room Extra: ⁠https://tinyurl.com/yc83x2zh⁠ 📩 EMAIL Get in touch with Matt and Paddy for questions, comments and enquires at evertonbyline@gmail.com 📸 LAURA GATES PHOTOGRAPHY Get a discount when using code ‘TBR25’ at checkout

Good Times - Number 38: 2015/16 (Part 2)

The Blue Room — Thu, 21 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

As Leicester City march on unopposed to their first ever league title, Everton have got their eyes on the other two domestic trophies.
Sadly, our friends from down the East Lancs have got other ideas, and Roberto Martinez's rapidly receding hairline becomes a stark metaphor for his remaining time at the club.
And to this day we don't know just what inspiration he took from the creative mind of Jason Derulo.
"Bobby, try Bryan Oviedo at right back."
"Okay that's quite unique, thanks Jase."
All that plus the coach ride to Hell (via Walsall) on the podcast that knows The Dixies should've gone ahead.

Will Everton Relegate Tottenham?

🔵 WILL EVERTON RELEGATE TOTTENHAM?! | The David Moyes Debate & Europe Hopes Blown ❌

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Welcome back to the Royal Blue podcast! Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Chris Beesley to break down a dramatic final week of the Premier League season as Everton prepare for a trip to the capital.

The Toffees head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with nothing but pride to play for following last week’s incredibly deflating 3-1 defeat to Sunderland at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

But while Everton's season is effectively wrapped up, everything is on the line for Spurs. Roberto De Zerbi’s side is staring down the barrel of an unthinkable drop—they need a result to guarantee safety, while a West Ham victory could send them down.

The lads ask the ultimate final-day question: Will Everton relegate Tottenham?

Also on the agenda: European Disappointment: Six games without a win when it mattered most. The panel dissects how a season that promised European football collapsed at the finish line.

The David Moyes Dilemma: The Moyes is taking some heavy flack from the fanbase for stubborn team selections and a lack of tactical flexibility. Is the fan pressure justified, or is it harsh given where the club was a year ago?

The Summer Transfer Window: With the board backing stability, can Moyes rectify a wafer-thin squad, nail the recruitment, and genuinely propel Everton into Europe next season?
