MCIGary is editor for ReadMotorsport, ReadNorwich, and ReadEverton. He has many years experience of sports writing behind him after deciding (belatedly) that the world of accountancy wasn't for him. His work has been featured on (among many others) BBC Sport and The Metro. He has written on many sports, but considers himself an expert in football and F1. When not writing and editing he likes to go to the cinema and sip a lovely cold pint of Guinness (not always at the same time).
There’s still work to be done for the Toffees, with four games to resurrect their European charge, but then the focus (for some) will turn to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. For those interested, every single ball kicked can be followed here at ReadWorldCup. With the finals now including Infantino’s dream of 48 teams, there […]
Everton and England defender Jarrad Branthwaite has been ruled out for the rest of the season and also the World Cup following the serious hamstring injury sustained during Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

In an interview with Everton’s official club media following the 2-2 draw against Brentford, Tarkowski made clear what he expects for the rest of […]
Following the Toffees’ 2-2 draw with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium this afternoon, David Moyes spoke glowingly of his team’s defensive grit and the growing momentum in their quest for Europe. Thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s 91st-minute leveller, the draw extended Everton’s good run of form in 2026 and edges them closer to the European […]
The sight of Jack Grealish in an Everton shirt felt right from the word go. It even looked right. He even had his own Everton look: hair in a tight bun rather than at the mercy of an ‘Alice band’. From the moment he first arrived on Merseyside, there was a sense that player and […]
The Friedkin Group are not messing about. Neither is David Moyes. With Europe a real possibility for 2026-27, Everton now appear to be shopping in a different aisle from before. According to South American outlet Bolavip, Everton have made contact with the representatives of Flaco Lopez and his club Palmeiras to sound out the availability […]

Everton are reportedly on alert following the breaking news that John Stones is not expected to be offered a new contract by Manchester City.

It’s that mid-international break lull, but nothing, not even a fortnight void of domestic football, can quash the optimism on the blue half of Merseyside. From cautious optimism to genuine belief, under David Moyes’ steady hand, Toffees’ fans are looking forward rather than over their shoulder. Here’s the latest… Race to sign Wilson Everton are […]
