'Imminent' Dyche sack chances emerge at Everton - report

Sean Dyche faces a “crucial” few games for Everton and his job could be under pressure if results don’t improve, sources have told TEAMtalk.

The outlet reported on their website on 26 August that the Toffees boss has a big task on his hands already to rebuild trust among the fanbase after losing 3-0 to Brighton and 4-0 to Tottenham in the first two games of the season.

However, the threat of him being sacked imminently is said to be “low” and it is believed to be more likely that the club would let him see out the final year of his contract before making a decision.

Team selections are seen as a particular issues for the former Burnley boss, as new signings Iliman Ndiaye, Jake O’Brien and Jesper Lindstrom continue to be left out of the starting XI.

The atmosphere around the club already appears to have turned toxic in some quarters after the players were abused on the way out of London at the weekend.

The situation reached a similar point for Frank Lampard with defeat at Bournemouth prior to the 2022 Qatar World Cup [The Athletic] and Dyche replaced him a few games after the season resumed.

However, it is only two games into the season and Dyche reversed course last year despite two points deductions and the constant uncertainty caused by the 777 Partners takeover attempt.

That deal failed, as has Dan Friedkin’s during the summer, with John Textor now making his own attempt [The Athletic, 15 August], and in light of that continued chaos from above there have to be doubts as to whether Farhad Moshiri could or would make a change that would require a pay-off.

According to Paul Joyce in The Times on 15 August both Dyche and Kevin Thelwell would have actually been given extensions by now in normal circumstances, and the uncertainty at the top is the reason they haven’t.

Similarly, there are bound to be few decent choices ready to step into such a difficult situation, although David Moyes has been suggested [Richard Keys, 26 August] and might be the only realistic option thanks to his history at Goodison.

Dyche has made some infuriating decisions but he will also argue he’s got a massive injury crisis on his hands already.

At the same time, summer signings were made to help address such issues and if he won’t use them to the fullest he is only causing himself more problems.
