The Athletic's Everton podcast returns after an unplanned hiatus, but before a slightly longer planned one, with your regular hosts Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland.
The lads were just as stunned as everyone else in football when they learned of Carlo Ancelotti's sudden departure from Everton, lured back to Real Madrid seemingly out of the blue.
But, once the dust had settled, there was a sense that it may not be as catastrophic as it first seemed and perhaps there are one or two reasonable options to take the club forward.

Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland are The Athletic's dedicated Everton team bringing you this weekly podcast update on the latest goings on at Goodison.
A win away at Arsenal and another venue removed from the list of long-term bogey sites. The Blues rode their luck, for sure, but perhaps they were due a stroke of fortune.
Villa next, and quite unbelievably it's the first league fixture between the two sides this season. In May! We'll talk all about the opposition, including one conspicuous Everton Academy graduate, have a look back at this fixture in seasons past, and there's an update from the U18s.

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.

Fresh from a fiery breakfast debate, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland bring you the latest edition of The Athletic's Everton podcast.
Just when you thought the club's injury woes were a thing of the past a training ground incident ends Gbamin's season, and the Brighton game did nothing to raise our spirits.
In an effort to find some positivity we consider how terrible Spurs are at the moment, and reflect on what a great season Moise Kean is having at PSG.

The Athletic's Everton podcast returns with Rodriguez-like impact thanks to the expert stylings of club correspondents Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland.
The lads were left feeling a little deflated after the Blues failed to hold on to their James-inspired lead against Palace; even Gbamin's appearance failed to provoke a spark of enthusiasm from Paddy.
So, how about this run-in, and where is Ancelotti taking the club? Plenty of musings on identity, whether we have much of one, and whether it matters a great deal.

The Athletic's duo of Everton specialists, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, look forward to a welcome rest after another loss to a struggling side at Goodison Park.
Carlo Ancelotti will surely be using that time to get some important figures back to full fitness and restore the pep that was missing at the weekend.
But, before that, there's a different Pep on the horizon. Can the Toffees see off Guardiola's Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final?

The Athletic's dedicated team, Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland, bring you their weekly round-up of everything Everton.
It's still a Stamford Bridge too far; Ancelotti's side were well beaten by a Tuchel-revitalised Chelsea. While the starting XI looked competitive, the game may have been won and lost on the bench.
And there's plenty going on outside these isles, with an update on Fraser Hornby's career and our new-found popularity in South America.

The Athletic's Everton correspondents Gregg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland reflect on another great week.
Wins against Southampton and West Brom, if not always pretty, put Everton firmly in the Champions League picture and the manager's confidence is encouraging.
But, with a trip to Chelsea next, the hard work is far from over. The Toffees haven't won there since 1994, when Paddy was still a babe-in-arms!

The Athletic's Everton experts Greg O'Keeffe and Paddy Boyland reflect on a tough week for the Toffees.
No points from two games and the worst possible FA Cup draw aren't the preparation we were looking for as we head to Anfield to face a potentially vulnerable Liverpool.
But, there is a more positive outlook for the long-term with stadium developments getting a boost as well as Tom Davies' providing optimism at the heart of the team and the club.
