Branthwaite Euro 2024 Call Could Be Key For Everton

18/04/2024

If there’s one defender in the Premier League hitting the headlines for all the right reasons this season, it’s Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite. He made a handful of appearances for The Toffees in 2021/22, but this season, he’s been a mainstay in the backline, and he could now be set to fly to the Euros with […]

Revolution in Bermuda

16/04/2024

As a follow-up to her guest editorial in the Washington Post about 777 Partners and the off-shoring of American reinsurance, Mary Walsh looks at the continuing fallout from Bermuda’s decision to put the would-be Everton buyers’ subsidiary, 777 Re, under administrative control. “British soccer regulators discovered that the parent, 777 Partners, couldn’t provide audited financial […]

A view from my seat

16/04/2024

This shot with the couple consoling each other was taken around 10 minutes from the end of the game last night.  Flipped-up empty seats show most people had departed. As the final whistle went, Mykolenko was the only player to come over to acknowledge what was left of the travelling support. Coleman followed from the […]

Hurting

Well, that is possibly the worst Everton match-going memory I can remember since the Ian Rush 5-0 derby.

Sean of all hope: You fooled me for a while

16/04/2024

I always thought Sean Dyche’s record at Burnley, considering the resources he had, was commendable. In our situation, I thought he was a pragmatic fit.   But even from the get-go, there were red flags I chose to overlook. Firstly, Burnley native Joe McMahon kept warning ToffeeWebers off him. Then he told another ToffeeWeber, Tony […]

Injuries compound horrendous showing against Chelsea

16/04/2024

Sean Dyche was left to count the cost of more than just the massive dent Everton took to their goal difference and team morale with their 6-0 annihilation at the hands of Chelsea, with three players picking up injuries that make them doubts for next Sunday's massive game against Nottingham Forest.

When was the last time something really good happened to Everton?

13/04/2024

Even the new ground is sullied with debt and queries about the future.  In a sense, you can see why everyone celebrated like mad avoiding relegation vs Palace two seasons ago; it wasn’t just relief but, for a brief moment, we had a ‘high’ point and could forget the day-to-day nonsense and believe we were […]

How did so many Americans’ retirement money end up in Bermuda?

13/04/2024

Writing in the Washington Post, Mary Williams Walsh, the managing editor of News Items, an independent daily newsletter, refers to how the investigative work of outlets like Josimar has shone a bright light on “the secretive but influential world of Bermuda reinsurance,” a world in which prospective buyers in Everton, 777 Partners, are one of […]

The responsibility of the players

12/04/2024

Never, in 25 years reading and contributing to this site, have I seen football sidelined so significantly. Commissions, lawyers and finance are, understandably, just taking over. It seems like there are two types of thread and the Chelsea v Everton thread will likely take second place to what might happen off the pitch. It really […]

Seven Years On

I am reminded… it’s seven years since the second-greatest moment of my life (runner-up only to my first kiss with Sarah).  Putting a souvenir autographed ball down on the penalty spot at the Park End – both the ball and the illegal access to the Goodison pitch being gifts from the magnificent Kevin Johnson, former […]

Does Dyche know Patterson can play right-midfield?

10/04/2024

  Sean Dyche clearly does not agree with me but I think we have the perfect pair for the right-hand side of the team. Coleman right-back with Patterson right-midfield.   With Coleman behind him, we will see the best out of Patterson, defensively and going forward. You can even play them the other way around. […]

The Line Between Seeking Justice and Witch-hunt

09/04/2024

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
