We look back at the week that was, and the dawn of the Lampard era.
Are we ambitious enough as a club? After 27 years and counting, Macca asks "how do we support the team and push for a better EFC"? It's a question many Evertonians have brought up in recent weeks. Are we on a road to nowhere, or good times just around the corner? Following a tumultuous start to the year and impassioned protests, we reflect on Everton's business affairs from Russia with love, and lack of discipline as an institution we can't seem to shake. Can demands to "sack the board" really make a difference? Do fans still play an important role in shaping the club? Everton's managerial appointment in Frank Lampard would argue that, yes, they do. Will Lampard be given the resources required to compete? We delve into a fan culture screaming for a football philosophy to get behind, desperate for silverware, and debate if Everton will ever take their seat with football's elite. What's it all about, Moshiri?

MINTerview episode IV
Dave O’Grady of Seafoam Green, and some of us here go back a long time, so, sitting down with him and hearing about his fondest football memories was something quite special. Irish roots, becoming an evertonian, trialing at Home Farm in the ‘90s, and emigrating to Liverpool, this is more like a chat with an old friend, than an interview, "I don't know how I ended up at Home Farm, maybe one of my school friends was playing there. I ended up going there and had a little trial and got on the team - Home Farm at the time, they wore the Everton Kit, I remember thinking that’s cool, seeing that on the TV and that was the club we were playing for.” His childhood passion for St Pat’s, impact the Premier League has on the League of Ireland, and why Seamus Coleman is more daylight robbery than a steal. That Ireland / Liverpool love affair, the trad scene as we know it today, tour tales, playing at Finch Farm, and what’s next for Dave and his band.

The trio welcomes Meikayla Moore into the mix. Zipping around the city several months ago, we scooted into an early-morning training session with a level of intensity that could only indicate a focused and professional athlete. Turns out the athlete we stumbled upon was Liverpool Defender, New Zealand international and Olympian, Meikalya Moore. When it comes to ultimate professional athletes, Meikayla ticks every box. Level-headed, passionate, conscientious, and constantly striving to improve her sport for the next generation. If you're an ardent football fan and care about the beautiful game and its progress, this one's for you. Moore takes us through her player pathway from her native Christchurch - from being the only girl in CO-ED to U17 Championships and conquering Europe. Platforms and philosophy, we hear the overwhelming pride in representing her country and how pulling on the Fern's strip for the first time has shaped who she is today.
Meikayla discusses her contemporaries, who she looked up to coming up in the game, and why it's important to have representation as a young female athlete. We delve into the transfer market via the Bundesliga to Liverpool FC and the comparisons to the men's game, as well as the clubs' working to smash the glass ceiling. Money talks, wage gaps, and pushing the game forward - how male footballers can help revolutionise women's football, and how in turn, men can learn a thing or two from women when it comes to inclusion and equality. Meikayala talks us through a World Cup injury and what the road to recovery looks like as a professional athlete in 2021.
All of this PLUS that good old Everton / Liverpool rivalry, and how it feels being in the city. As if that wasn't enough, we chat about the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, expectations for her country, elevating women in sport, and LGBTQ+ activism. Meikayla speaks her mind on inclusivity, and how important it is to find your own voice.
Stick with it to the end for a Quickfire Q & A that includes player insight you won't find anywhere else...

Do the fans still feel the club have No Plan?

What do Everton need to sell themselves as internationally to become a brand?
Are Changes needed at board level? You'll also hear how since the arrival Five Years ago of Billionaire Iranian Farhad Moshiri how the lack of ambition and resource prior to his arrival has held the club back, and how even with Moshiri at the helm we aren't aggressive enough with Champions League ambitions, and the club is quickly going out of Fashion.

MINT sit down in conversation with Everton's Official Assistant Photographer, Emma Simpson.
The trio sit down in conversation with Football Analytics and Scouting Guru, Andy McGregor (@elpivoteftbl) of @insightMrkt. In a wide ranging interview Andy discusses the unorganised Everton youth development plan, the under appreciation of Marcel Brands, the importance of utilising a loan structure, hidden gold mines for talent, employing powerful square pegs into round holes and how the culture shift needs to be road mapped for future success. You'll also find out Andy's ideal Everton signing for 2021, mentions for Krépin Diatta and Ismaïla Sarr, a niché film recommendation, what floor he'd find himself in if he could have one last night out in the infamous L1 "nightclub" The Krazyhouse on Wood Street and a prediction of whether we'll win the sought after Everton Trophy this year.
