Former Everton co-owner Paul Gregg has spoken to the ECHO's Chris Beesley for a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast to coincide with the release of his autobiography Backstage Without A Pass. The theatre impresario - who sold his entertainment company for the equivalent of £350million in today's money - arrived at Goodison Park in 1999 when he matched Bill Kenwright's £7.5million stake in buying the club from Peter Johnson. Gregg tried to bring about Everton's first attempt to relocate to the Mersey waterfront with ambitious plans for a stadium at King's Dock but ended up having a well-documented fall-out with Kenwright over the failure of the project. During his time with the Blues, he helped strike sponsorship deals with Keijan and Chang while also having disagreements with the chairman over managers Walter Smith and David Moyes. Despite the tumultuous nature of his time at Everton, Gregg still looks back on his time on Merseyside with fondness but also has strong opinions on both the current ownership issues and the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Everton finished the season with a fifth successive home win as they defeated already-relegated Sheffield United 1-0 at Goodison Park. It wasn't a classic but once again, Sean Dyche's side got the job done thanks to a first half header from Abdoulaye Doucoure. The absence of any figures from 777 Partners was not a surprise but told a story of its own. For so much of this season the US group has had a high-profile presence in the directors box of the club it has been trying to take over for eight months. Figures were in attendance as recently as at Luton Town, the club’s last match before the visit of Sheffield United. But after 10 days that have seen the firm hit with a civil lawsuit centred on $600m fraud allegations and its Australian airline entered into administration, the dreams of those who have repeatedly filled seats in L4 and beyond appear to be in tatters.

After more uncertainty over 777 Partners’ takeover of Everton, reports surfaced that midweek that MSP Sports Capital are exploring buying The Toffees.  After months of talks with Josh Wander and the Premier League, Farhad Moshiri looks set to pull the plug on the deal which was struck back in September of last year.  All of this is yet to be confirmed, however should a deal fallthrough, which is looking increasingly likely, where does that leave Everton and Farhad Moshiri?  Everton's majority shareholder is finally considering alternative options to 777 Partners with MSP said to be the front runners to take a majority stake.  In today’s Royal Blue Podcast, Ian Croll, Joe Thomas and Gav Buckland discuss the latest on the Everton takeover saga.

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has held face-to-face talks with potential owners 777 Partners in London this week after fresh doubt was cast on the deal being done. Moshiri, who agreed to sell his 94.1% shareholding in the club to the Miami-based investment firm back in September of last year, has held talks with 777 co-founder Josh Wander, as first reported by Sky Sports and since independently verified by the ECHO, in a bid to try and gain some clarity over where the deal stands.

Join Ian Croll, Chris Beesley and Gav Buckland as they discuss the latest in the Everton takeover saga.  The Everton FC Shareholders Association have called for action from Farhad Moshiri and demanded that he recognise that 777 Partners are not “fit-and-proper” prospective owners of the club. This comes on the back of accusations labelled at 777 over a $600m fraud scheme involving double-pledging and forged documents which is on the brink of collapse.  Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO’s Royal Blue YouTube channel.

In the latest edition of Goodison Park: My Home, Chris Beesley speaks to a true Everton hero, Graham Stuart on the 30th anniversary of the “Great Escape.” On May 7, 1994, Stuart saved Everton Football Club with a stirring two-goal display in their dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Wimbledon to complete a “Great Escape” from relegation on the final day of the Premier League season. With their top flight status on the line, the Blues recovered from going 2-0 down just 20 minutes into the contest against an in-form Wimbledon side as Stuart halved the deficit with one of the biggest-pressure penalties in the history of ‘The Grand Old Lady’ before netting the winner nine minutes from the end to take his side out of the drop zone for the first time all day. Just a year later, Stuart was part of the team that beat Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley to lift the FA Cup – Everton’s last major trophy to date – while these days he is back with his beloved Blues, working as a club ambassador.

Although Goodison Park: My Home is a series mostly dedicated to Everton players, we make a change of gear for part 4 as Chris Beesley speaks to Blues super fan Dr David France. Growing up in humble surroundings in Widnes and coming from a family of Evertonians stretching back five generations, the 75-year-old affectionately known as 'Dr Everton' is a retired oil and gas industry executive who sold his 10,000-item collection of Everton memorabilia to the club at a heavily discounted price so it could be kept for posterity while also founding the Everton Former Players’ Foundation to raise money for the physical and pastoral care of ex-professionals who have represented the club. He was also the founder and driving force behind the Gwladys Street Hall of Fame, the EFC Heritage Society, Everton War Memorials and has authored 19 books about Everton with proceeds donated to Merseyside charities. Making transatlantic trips to watch his beloved Blues play having moved to the USA several decades ago, David has watched many of Everton's greatest players over the years while also befriending lots of them through his projects.

Join Ian Croll, Joe Thomas & Gav Buckland as they look back at a famous Merseyside Derby win under the lights at Goodison Park. A superb display gave Everton their first Merseyside Derby on home turf since October 2010 as they beat Liverpool 2-0. Blues fans mocked their neighbours by chanting "you lost the league at Goodison Park" after goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin either side of the break gave Sean Dyche’s side a richly-deserved three points to hand defeat to Jurgen Klopp on his last trip across Stanley Park.

The panel review Everton’s 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, which could be a hugely-significant win for the club and manager Sean Dyche’s side as they bid to secure Premier League survival. Goals from Idrissa Gueye and Dwight McNeil plus a crucial save from Jordan Pickford helped secure three points but the visitors were left upset by the officiating of the game, feeling they should have been awarded three penalties.

Michael Ball is perhaps aptly number three in our Goodison Park: My Home series as he joins Chris Beesley in the ECHO’s Royal Blue studio to look back on his playing career. The lifelong Evertonian explains how he grew up close to Goodison and attended matches regularly from a young age before coming up through the club’s junior ranks and making his senior debut as a 17-year-old under caretaker manager and fellow Scouser Dave Watson in 1997. Ball admits he defied doctor’s orders to play his part in a second ‘Great Escape’ under Howard Kendall the following year but after battling back from injury problems and Walter Smith signing a clutch of other left-backs to be named the club’s player of the year in 2001, he reveals that being told Everton had accepted transfer offers for him that summer when he thought he was on the brink of being offered a new contract with his boyhood team felt like “a dagger in the heart.” Now back watching the Blues from Goodison’s stands as a fan again and offering hard-hitting views as a weekly ECHO columnist, Ball’s candid opinions make for yet another passionate, lively and fascinating discussion.

Sean Dyche suffered his heaviest defeat as Everton manager as his side were torn apart 6-0 by a rampant Chelsea side at Stamford Bridge in their first fixture since being handed a new two-point deduction, their second sporting sanction of this season. Cole Palmer was the main architect of the Blues’ downfall as he ran riot with four goals on the night, the last of which came from the penalty spot while Nicolas Jackson and substitute Alfie Gilchrist netted the others but while their hosts were on form, the visitors made it too easy for them at times with some slack defending and a rare blunder from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Everton have been deducted a further two points after the outcome of their second Profit and Sustainability Rules case this season was announced. After Everton handed an initial 10-point deduction in November – the biggest sporting sanction in 135 years of English top flight football at the time – which was later reduced to six points on appeal, the club were charged with a second breach of Premier League PSR in mid-January; which began a 12-week disciplinary process. Everton set out its position in a three-day hearing last month amid what has been a process lacking in clarity or guidelines. The appeal panel for Everton’s first charge said that there had been two “legal errors” in the club’s original verdict but then the independent commission handling Nottingham Forest’s charge only handed them a four-point deduction for a breach 77% larger than Everton’s, acknowledged it could not be sure how even the reduced punishment handed to the Blues had been calculated.
