    Grealish Issues Apology | Assessing The Season So Far!

    Welcome to another episode of the Royal Blue Everton FC Podcast. This week, Ian Croll, Tony Scott, and Connor O'Neill are back in the studio to tackle the most pressing talking points surrounding Everton Football Club. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The lads dive straight into the headline of the week: the return of Jack Grealish. Following a highly publicised absence across the last four matches—stemming from illness, fitness, and a breach of club discipline—Grealish has officially broken his silence. Fresh off playing a full 90 minutes in Thursday's 4-1 behind-closed-doors friendly victory over Derby County at Hill Dickinson Stadium, the panel unpacks his Instagram apology to the supporters.  After dissecting the Grealish saga, the trio zooms out to put the 2026/27 campaign under the microscope. With the 10-game mark now in the rearview mirror, it is time for a comprehensive review of the season so far. The lads hand out their early-season views, getting into spirited debates over their definitive picks for Player of the Season, Goal of the Season, and the all-important Signing of the Season. To wrap things up, the panel measures the team's current trajectory against their pre-season expectations and delivers their final verdict by grading Everton’s season so far from A to D.  🔔 Subscribe to the Royal Blue Everton FC YouTube Channel for daily video podcasts, press conference analysis, and post-match reaction.

    Everton Takeover Claim, Coventry Final Word & Brentford Preview

    Ian Croll is joined by Gavin Buckland for the latest episode of the Royal Blue podcast to dissect all the biggest talking points surrounding Everton Football Club. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The lads deliver their final verdict on the Blues’ spirited 3-1 win over Coventry City, a result that sends Everton into the international break sitting 6th in the Premier League table. With momentum building, Ian and Gavin step back to deliver their mid-autumn assessment of the season so far. Looking ahead, attention turns to Brentford away following the break. Can Everton put an end to their alarming post-hiatus form? With just seven points taken from a possible 27 following extended breaks since March 2025, solving this recurring hangover is crucial if European ambitions are to stay on track. Finally, the panel tackles the latest takeover talking points. Speaking on Henry Winter’s podcast The Football Boardroom, Christian Purslow claimed that the sale of Everton is no longer a particularly “sexy proposition” for prospective new owners. Ian and Gavin react to Purslow's controversial remarks: is this an unfair and dismissive assessment of an English football institution, or does it expose harsh, uncomfortable truths about the club's financial reality and standing in the modern landscape? JOIN THE CONVERSATION IN THE COMMENTS 💬 Was Christian Purslow speaking harsh truths, or has he completely underestimated the potential of Everton? What has been your standout positive and biggest concern from the season so far? How do the Blues break the post-break hoodoo against Brentford? 👍 LIKE the video if you enjoyed the show! #EFC #Everton #RoyalBlue #PremierLeague #EvertonFC #CoventryCity #BrentfordFC #FootballBoardroom Learn more about your ad choices.

Jack Grealish was left out of the starting XI for the second straight fixture due to disciplinary and fitness reasons, leaving manager David Moyes clearly disappointed with off-the-field actions that remain unconfirmed.

Is there a straightforward way back into the side, or has his omission proven that Moyes' squad can thrive without him? St James' Park Masterclass: The lads deliver their final verdict on a stellar away performance against Newcastle United. Thierno Barry's strike proved the difference in a hard-fought 1-0 win on Tyneside. From defensive resilience to tactical discipline, Ian and Chris break down why this was one of the Toffees' finest displays of the campaign so far. Coventry City Preview & Frank Lampard's Return: Looking ahead to Friday night under the lights, former Everton boss Frank Lampard makes his return to Merseyside with Coventry City. Can the Blues make it three wins from three across cup and league action before the international break? A victory on Friday would temporarily lift Everton into 5th place in the table. 💬 HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE COMMENTS: How should David Moyes handle the Jack Grealish situation moving forward?
