Everton-related Master' Research Scholarships
Everton Football Club and Liverpool Hope University are offering two two-year Master's Research Scholarships to explore the social history of Everton and its charity Everton in the Community.                                   
An MRes in the History of Everton, The People's Club, and an MRes in the History of Everton in the Community, Sport at the Service of Humanity are both available. Each scholarship will cover the course fees of £5,200, plus reasonable research expenses, and will begin in September 2020.
Candidates for the scholarships are asked to submit proposals that embrace the social impact of Everton and its charity, or that seek to unearth untold stories and offer new perspectives on the history of both the Club and its charity's history.
As well as producing a dissertation of around 30,000 words, each scholar will also write a 6,000-word chapter to be published in a new book exploring Everton's social history and its impact on the wider community.
The scholarships will be awarded following a competitive application process open to anyone with a 2:1 undergraduate degree (BA) in History or History and another subject — either achieved, or predicted if currently in final year university study. Brief expressions of interest should be sent to Associate Professor Bryce Evans by Friday 4 September 2020, and more information is available on the university's website.

I've put in a bid to do a research paper on why nearly all our signings are totally fucking useless and the related increase in clinical depression in the local community.

Very funny, John.
MRes isn't sufficient – you'd need the length of a PhD to cover all the shit players we've bought.

Okay, let's start a thread here... a research paper on the 'Disappearance of Gylfi Sigurdsson from the Everton Midfield', is 30,000 words enough?

I would much prefer a sponsored PhD in data science and analytics to study the range of actual football related issues (training, nutrition, passing – and not just “get the stats up†3 metre backwards passes, positioning, impact of weather, other teams performance, players and management) than some dodgy politically correct “power relations†drivel which is all that emerges from academic history departments these days.

Anyone seriously going in for these scholarships must already have two BAs, so that rules me out, never mind my age, otherwise I would have a place at the front of a long queue to do â€The pros and cons of Kenwright's career as an Everton director and chairmanâ€.
Writing the pros part would have been a doddle, although I would have needed some assistance doing that> I think a few on here might have provided me with some help.
The cons would have taken much longer to write but the assistance from on here would have been gigantic.
Alas, not to be.

Might have a go at this. My thesis would be "What happened before EitC existed and how good would it be if a winning football team was attached to it?"

Agree Charles (4).
This sounds more like hagiography than research to me, a little like those company-sponsored books lauding firms that used to appear years ago.
PhD research, with its literature reviews to set out the paradigm, hypothesis generation and testing, presentation of evidence to support any conclusions reached, followed by oral defence before a team of informed academic and other experts, might produce something more useful.
However, that does not sound like the purpose here.

I can imagine Bill sat in the morning room/study with pictures of Dixie, Kendall, Ball and Unsworth (larger frame) on his lavish leather embossed desk. Wearing a cravat with writting quill in hand. Tears of joy in his eyes.

Very good, Paul (6), we seem to have become the charity with the football club attached. Anyone for the zip-wire from the Top Balcony?

Dave Abrahams, research degrees are occasionally awarded on the basis of works already published. I think you'd get a Litt.D (Doctor of Letters) for your previously published posts on ToffeeWeb.
Viva Dave Abrahams!

Brent (10), brilliant that – wait til our Tony sees that, he'll go green with envy!!!

I hope they research some of the following:
1. Why there was no paper in the fax machine – Kings Dock?
2. How did the Kings Dock money escape the ringfence Bill had around it?
3. Where did the Arteta money go?
4. Where does the midfield disappear to every match?

Good luck to those who are fortunate enough to make the final cut – hopefully, it's somebody who is struggling to pay their fees.

Dave, has he passed his GCSEs yet? And what does he want to be when he “grows upâ€?

٣,200 per course? Maybe Gylfi could sponsor 20 of us – after all, what's one week's wages to him?

Rob, you wouldn't get on the course with your Cycling Proficiency Certificate.

Maybe not, Brent, I doubt your 25-m swimming certificate would be much help either. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Steve #6, if we start this season like we finished the last one, people might pay to jump off the Top Balcony without a zip wire!

Brent (14), he wasn't bad at school until he discovered football. Mind you, he found out about football when he was 3.
As to what he wanted to be when he grew up, now I know I can trust you, Brent, I'm rolling my eyes, so keep this to yourself: he always used to say “I hope I grow up to be just like you, dad.â€
I've got tears rolling down my cheeks writing this, but mum's the word, Brent, not a whisper.

Rob, that 25-metre certificate. They told me it was 25 yards so that's all I practiced for. They had to rescue me before the 25 metres was up.

Dave, that's a cracker. I'm sharing a tear with you!
