‘Lucky to be there next season’ – is Dyche running out of time?

The Premier League season has passed the halfway stage but Everton are in trouble again, with only three victories.

It looks like another fight for survival for the Toffees, teetering two places and just one point above the relegation zone.

The goals have dried up, there is little creativity in the team and supporter sentiment appears to have worn away.

Manager Sean Dyche has kept the club in the top flight for the past two seasons. But with the side’s recent abject showings. His contract expiring at the end of the season and the Friedkin Group takeover ushering in a new era. Questions are being raise about his future.

On the back of a five-game winless run, ufabet https://ufabet999.app the Blues host League One strugglers Peterborough in the FA Cup third round on Thursday knowing defeat won’t help Dyche’s cause.

A report, external on Monday suggested owners the Friedkin Group are “reviewing”. His work and Dyche, speaking in his pre-match news conference on Tuesday, said: “To clear, it should be [reviewed].

“At the end of the day, if you are a business of this size, succession planning surely should be part of their diligence, I have no problem with that.

“It should be ongoing at any football club and a part of any ‘normal’ business outside football. I never really concern myself with that – but have got to win games.

“We have not won enough this season, [I need to] make sure the team is operating in the right way and please everyone all of the time. That is the job, we haven’t done that enough and it comes down to me.”
