'Which would you rather?' - Simon Jordan argues Dyche would leave Everton for Man City

Sean Dyche would leave Everton for Manchester City “every day of the week” if he had the opportunity, says Simon Jordan.

The ex-Crystal Palace chairman said on talkSPORT (10 October), during a discussion of whether managers would like to succeed Pep Guardiola’s highly-successful reign, that the situation would be far preferable to the chaos in recent years at Goodison Park.

While accepting the Toffees boss, whose future at Everton is far from certain as it is, will not actually be offered the chance to move to the Etihad he used the contrasting situations to argue that plenty of coaches would want the job.

Jordan said: “If you ask Sean Dyche, and I’m not suggesting that Sean Dyche would get the Man City job, I’m saying if you asked Sean Dyche which would he rather have? The travails of working at Everton with no budget and all the concerns, or the consistency and the quality that you can get at Man City?

“He’d go to Man City every day of the week.”

Dan Friedkin takeover could send Sean Dyche out at Everton

It was of course the Everton manager who succeeded the last hugely successful Premier League manager in Manchester when David Moyes left to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford in 2013.

That didn’t work out well for the Scot who spent the next decade attempting to rehabilitate his reputation before finding success at West Ham.

There is little danger of Dyche being headhunted to replace Guardiola when he leaves England, and he may not even still be in charge of the Toffees when that time comes.

A dismal start to the season brought an imminent sacking into question [TBR Football, 13 September], and once The Friedkin Group complete their takeover it would not be a shock if a new manager was brought in before long.

It’s a measure of how things have gone for Everton in recent years that Moyes himself has been suggested for a return to Goodison in place of Dyche [Richard Keys, 26 August], and was reportedly under consideration before the 23 September announcement of Friedkin’s buy-out agreement with Farhad Moshiri [TBR Football, 5 September].

Clearly there will be no shortage of interest in succeeding Guardiola at City, and whoever does will likely have a much greater chance of success than Moyes did at Manchester United.

But the more pertinent question in the coming months will be who is interested in the Everton job, with the club set to move into their new stadium under new ownership next season and Dyche’s contract up in the summer even if he does see out the season.

In other Everton news, a Sky Sports pundit has been lest “absolutely in shock” by what he’s seen at Goodison.
