Everton Football Club has today released its Annual Report and Accounts for the 2024/25 season, recording a club record turnover of £196.7m, an increase of £9.8m on the previous year, and a significantly reduced loss of £8.6m for the financial period.
Our last 10 games see us as one of the form teams and in more than half those games we’ve played one of the other form teams!
The process that resulted in Chelsea’s tap on the wrist looks more questionable the closer one looks at it. I can’t help thinking there’s politics at play here and a precedent has been set that Man City will aim to exploit. Should the Regulator force the PL to publicly explain their actions ?
CIES Football Observatory ranked clubs squad value according to their own statistical model. These are the PL clubs whose values are greater than ours.

A Sunderland fan asked me where he could get a half & half scarf yesterday. I told him not to do it. He said he wouldn’t normally but has a such respect for us and was so made up to be coming to HDS for the first time, he wanted to mark the occasion 💙 Best fans we’ve had here by far 🐈⬛

An excellent, honest piece from @john-b58.bsky.social highlighting outstanding stadium issues. Valid comments from @patricridge.bsky.social too: outsourcing large elements of service provision don’t absolve the Club of responsibility for the quality of that service. open.substack.com/pub/mtag/p/b...
Business With Blain: Hill Dickinson Stadium is Brilliant, but Everton Have Issues to Solve
The first non-footballing event at Hill Dickinson Stadium proved a success, albeit with some major drawbacks that must be addressed quickly by Everton.

Interesting article in the Athletic that ranks all the summer transfer signings with a comparison between when the window closed and now. www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...
🗣️ | “That’s the type of club I want to belong to - one where there’s a real team spirit across the board.” Angus Kinnear highlighted the strong team spirit at Everton, noting the squad leadership’s decision to adjust the bonus pools. 🔵
Are you considering changes for your Fantasy Football team for Derby week ? This might help!
I think it’s universally accepted that the London Stadium is a poor football ground and the Everton Stadium is magnificent. West Ham’s attendance against Spurs of 62,459 means their income was probably at least £500,000 more than ours yesterday.
