Everton's new era under The Friedkin Group is starting to take shape, and The Blue Frontier crew is here to break it all down. In this episode, James, Ryan, and Shan take a deep dive into the appointment of Angus Kinnear as CEO-in-waiting. What does his tenure at Leeds United tell us about his vision for Everton? With a strong background in commercial growth and a different approach to football operations, Kinnear's arrival raises major questions about the club's recruitment strategy, its evolving structure, and the long-term sustainability of this model.

The team analyzes his past decisions, his views on PSR, and the delay in his start date—plus, how his leadership could shape Everton's future alongside David Moyes. They also examine the financial realities of modern football, the role of a director of football, and the risks and rewards of moving away from existing recruitment structures. With insights from The Square Ball and Paddy Boyland (thanks to both for the fantastic source material), this is an in-depth look at the biggest off-pitch story at Everton right now.

Is this the bold move Everton needs, or are the Toffees taking a massive gamble?
