Report: The Friedkin Group’s view on Sean Dyche as Everton consider David Moyes as an alternative.
Everton's Merseyside derby may have been postponed, but the takeover at Goodison Park is expected to be confirmed soon.
Sky Sports reported earlier this week that the Everton takeover was “very close,” and it now seems the process is progressing further.
Advancements have been made, with an announcement potentially expected at the start of the week before Christmas, which would be perfect timing.
The upcoming January transfer window is crucial for the direction of Everton’s season, as several improvements are needed, and key contract situations could add some intrigue.
Another pressing matter for the Friedkin Group is Sean Dyche’s future, with a few potential solutions already on the table.
The Friedkin Group may look beyond the United Kingdom to find a new manager for Everton.
While a recent victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers lifted the mood at the club, Dyche’s position is far from secure.
Upcoming matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth could cause further turmoil if results do not go in Everton’s favor.
According to iNews, the Friedkin Group has not yet made a decision regarding Dyche or his coaching staff.
However, the primary objective remains staying in the Premier League.
The report suggests that Dyche has not had discussions with the new ownership group, and his style may not align with their vision, though an immediate managerial change seems unlikely.
David Moyes has been linked with a potential return to Everton, but the Friedkin Group is reportedly fond of the German management style, which means the appointment of an overseas manager could be considered to revitalize the club.
There is also speculation that the Friedkin Group could choose to retain Dyche until the end of the season, an interesting possibility raised by Alex Crook.
He suggested that Dyche’s recent win could buy him more time, as Everton is currently five points clear of the relegation zone.
According to Crook, Everton may decide that Dyche is the right person to ensure Premier League survival and then reassess the situation in the summer, possibly making a managerial change as the club moves into its new facility.
While this scenario seems unlikely given the tough upcoming fixtures, much will depend on the performances of the teams below Everton in the table.
