The Athletic's Everton team, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, take you through another week in the history of the club, and this was no ordinary week.

After 12 of Europe's richest clubs, including six from the English Premier League, were forced to abandon their only-just-announced plan for a European Super League, we look at the role played by the Everton hierarchy in taking a stand against the controversial breakaway.

And, as Director of Football Marcel Brands signs a three-year extension to his contract with the club, we grade his performance in the job so far, and look at how current performances fit into the long-term progress that he was asked to deliver.
