      Today the masses gathered to bid farewell to Kenwright – including missing Maddie’s mum.
      The McCann family have always been massive Everton fans, with Maddie pictured wearing a club shirt in one of her final known photos.
      And today Kate McCann was snapped making her way into Liverpool Cathedral for Kenwright’s memorial service.
      She donned a blue Everton scarf, with another the same colour underneath.

      The mum and husband Gerry appeared close to Kenwright, and had been snapped in the stands alongside the chairman at Goodison Park in 2014.
      In the days after three-year-old Maddie disappeared in Portugal in 2007, the club rallied behind the McCanns.
      Former captain Philip Neville put out a plea, begging for the safe return of the youngster.
      MEN reported Neville, who is now the coach of US team the Portland Timbers, said at the time: “As a parent it is so hard to imagine the terrible time Madeleine and her family must be going through at the moment.
      Most read in Football
      “I just want to appeal for Madeleine’s safe return. If anybody knows anything at all about the whereabouts of Madeleine, please contact the police.
      “My thoughts go out to Madeleine and her family at this extremely distressing time. I, like everyone across the country, just want Madeleine to be back safe in the arms of her parents.
      “Everton has fans all over the world and I know that they, along with everyone connected with the football club, are hoping and praying for Madeleine’s safe return.”
      Two years after the youngster vanished, the club launched an international campaign in the hopes of bringing Maddie back to the front of people’s minds.
      They printed thousands of T-shirts that bore the message: “We’re Still Looking For You.”
      The club printed 3,000 in English, and the same number in Portuguese.
      It was the late Kenwright who said at the time: “This is just our way of reminding people – not just in the UK and Portugal but across the globe – that this child is still out there somewhere.
      “If we can, perhaps, jog someone’s memory or breathe a little fresh life into the hunt for her then it will have been worth it. I know our supporters will wear these T-shirts with pride on Thursday night.”

      Kenwright’s partner Jenny Seagrove and daughter Lucy announced they were “devastated” by his death in recent weeks.
      They said he passed away “peacefully” surrounded by his loved ones after a “long battle with illness”. More

      The talented Toffees defender made his last outing – only his second start – in a man-of-the-match display against West Brom last month.
      But SunSport understands Everton want the versatile star, who can play in defence or midfield, to be playing more regularly.
      And the Merseysiders could terminate his stay on the south coast and allow him to find a new club in January.
      Championship duo Middlesbrough and Watford as well as Scottish giants Rangers are waiting in the wings should Everton boss Sean Dyche call him back.

      Ex-England Under-21 centre-back Holgate, who has a contract at Goodison Park until the summer of 2025, has played just 289 minutes of first-team action for Southampton.
      Saints boss Russell Martin, whose side are fourth in the Championship, has lined up Jan Bednarek and Taylor Harwood-Bellis at the heart of his defence.
      Everton currently sit 17th in the Premier League table, four points above the relegation zone.

      How £40m Anthony Gordon is having last laugh and proving Newcastle supremo right after being chased out of Everton

      by

      EVERYONE thought that Newcastle had their pants pulled down by Everton after splashing £40million on Anthony Gordon in January.And they were howling when, in Toon’s Amazon Prime documentary, co-owner Amanda Staveley insisted the “extraordinary” Scouser would be “one of the best players in the league”.

      Well, fast forward 11 months and the Magpies are having the last laugh as demands for a first England call-up grow.
      Hounded out of Goodison Park, Toffees fans were convinced they had offloaded a supposed bad egg.
      But after six goals and three assists this term the winger is well on his way to justifying the fee — as well as Staveley’s prophecy.
      A first return to his boyhood club came in April as a late sub with the Toon 4-1 up and Goodison half empty.

      But the home fans will be baying  for blood tonight with the  forward’s acrimonious exit still fresh in the memory.
      After a 2-1 January defeat by Southampton, a furious mob — who did not think he was up for the relegation fight — chased his car following what was his last Everton game.
      And Magpies boss Eddie Howe urged the red-hot Gordon to block out the noise and silence the boo boys.
      Howe said: “It will be an explosive atmosphere.

      “Anthony has to be prepared for whatever reception he gets — but just focus on his football. That’s all he can do.
      “If you think about things you can’t control, you take your mind off of what you can.  
      “He needs to control the things that make his performance as good as it can be, which he has been doing  on a consistent basis recently.”
      Gordon, 22, struggled to adapt to Howe’s demands but started this season on fire  having been named Player of the Tournament as England won the Under-21 Euros over the summer.
      Howe added: “I had no issue with him when he first signed, he just wanted everything there and then.
      “He wanted to play, score goals and do well, which I understand and is natural but going to a new club is never easy. There’s always a transitional period, no matter how experienced you are.
      “This season we’ve really seen him grow and develop because of his fitness levels being so high due to his work with England in the summer.”
      Martin Dubravka replaces Nick Pope in goal tonight after the England keeper was ruled out for at least four months with a dislocated shoulder.
      Toon may look for a replacement, with free agent David de Gea an option.

      Howe said: “We’ve not made any enquiries or decisions.
      “This is a chance for the keepers we have to consolidate their positions.” More

      Sky Sports ‘ready to use pre-recorded crowd noise’ to drown out Everton’s X-rated protest chant in Man Utd clash

      by

      SKY SPORTS could use pre-recorded crowd noise to block out an X-rated chant from Everton fans against Manchester United on Sunday.Home supporters will protest at the club’s ten-point deduction by blasting “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the live TV game.

      The Times say Sky will act to drown out any offensive language – to make sure their coverage sticks within broadcast guidelines.
      That could include using noise already recorded – a tactic deployed during the Covid lockdown.
      At that time, though, it became an interactive choice for TV viewers, rather than enforced.
      The other option back then was to watch the matches from quiet stadiums devoid of supporters with little “atmosphere”.

      Now Sky will take action to follow Ofcom rules on not broadcasting bad language, especially at such a family time as Sunday afternoon and well before the 9pm watershed.
      Many Everton fans are furious at the club’s ten-point penalty for a single breach of profit and sustainability rules.
      They believe the punishment is too stiff, particularly as Manchester City face 115 charges while Chelsea are being investigated over payments in the Roman Abramovich era.
      It could even get worse for the Toffees – with the risk of an extra nine-point deduction.
      Most read in Football
      The Mail suggest Everton might be hit with a £300million compensation bill – if Burnley, Leicester and Leeds sue the Toffees and win the case.
      That could leave new Everton owners 777 partners struggling to pay up.
      And if they failed to do so, the Toffees would be put into administration – meaning nine points docked off. More

      Everton dealt major financial blow over Dele Alli deal after ‘angering Tottenham with absurd Richarlison transfer claim’

      The Toffees claim that Spurs drove a hard bargain when signing RicharlisonCredit: PA
      Everton had since been hoping that Spurs would waive a potential £10million fee for Dele Alli.
      This is because the club have blamed the North London outfit for their breach for not paying £80m for Richarlison in June 2022.
      The Daily Mail have reported that sources have called the claim from Everton “absurd”.
      It is suggested that Everton believe that Spurs took advantage of the club’s financial position by negotiating for “a hard bargain” in the Premier League’s independent commission’s written judgement.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Everton believe that the £60m that Tottenham did pay for the striker was £20m short of their valuation and was “directly attributable to PSR calculation difficulties”.
      It is thought that the relationship between the two clubs could be damaged by Everton’s attempt to use the fee in their mitigation.
      The report also claims that Everton held talks with Spurs last month about restructuring the Dele Alli deal.
      The Toffees will have to pay £10m to Spurs should the former England international make seven more appearances for the club.

      This fee could be difficult for Everton to pay due to their financial problems.
      It is also claimed that Tottenham do not want to hinder Alli from reviving his career but want the settlement to be right for all sides.
      Alli, 27, has not played since picking up an injury during his loan spell with Turkish outfit Besiktas in February.
      As a result of Everton’s point deduction, the club has fallen from 14th place to 19th in the Premier League table.
      The Toffees are only off the bottom of the table due to their superior goal difference over Burnley.
      Manchester United fans have been cursing their luck as they expect a tough game against Everton after the international break.
      Everton, however, are predicted to survive relegation to the Championship by a supercomputer. More
