talkSPORT Journalist Predicts Dyche’s Everton Exit Timeline Following Wolves Victory

The Blues ended their five-match winless run in stunning fashion on Wednesday, December 4, with a dominant display at Goodison Park.

Ashley Young and Orel Mangala got on the scoresheet before two Craig Dawson own goals sealed a crucial 4-0 victory for Everton.

Despite the win, Sean Dyche’s future at the club remains uncertain.

Speaking on the Premier League All Access podcast on December 5, Alex Crook suggested Everton might keep Dyche until the end of the season before letting him go when his contract expires.

Crook said: “It’s a victory that keeps the wolf from the door for a while.

They’re now five points clear of the relegation zone, and when you look at the teams below them, I think Everton will be safe with or without Dyche.

They might decide he’s the best option to ensure survival this season before making a managerial change in the summer to coincide with their move to the new stadium.”

Everton Should Remain Flexible on Dyche

While one big win doesn’t guarantee long-term success, Dyche’s ability to bounce back from a heavy 4-0 defeat to a convincing 4-0 victory places Everton in a solid position ahead of Saturday’s Merseyside derby on December 7.

This historic fixture will be the final derby played at Goodison Park, marking a significant moment in the club’s history.

A win over Liverpool would not only boost Everton’s momentum but also further distance them from the relegation zone while denting their rivals’ title hopes.

Such a result would be a fitting farewell to the iconic Goodison Park in its final season as the club’s home.

That said, uncertainty still looms over Dyche’s position, particularly with The Friedkin Group (TFG) poised to complete their takeover.

The new ownership will likely conduct a thorough search for a long-term successor, aiming to start their tenure with a strategic appointment.

If relegation is no longer a significant threat, Dyche could be allowed to finish the season before departing amicably.

This scenario would provide stability while allowing TFG to find the ideal replacement without rushing the process.

David Moyes has been linked with a potential return to Everton, but the former West Ham boss is eager to resume management soon and may not be available by the summer.

Ultimately, TFG’s arrival will determine Dyche’s fate. Until then, keeping him in charge to guide the team to safety seems like the most pragmatic option for Everton.

His experience and ability to secure survival could be crucial in navigating the challenges of the current campaign, ensuring a smooth transition for the club’s future leadership.
