New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[charlie atkins]

Of course the Friedkins would prefer Dyche to see his contract out, it saves them money and a headache in the short term.

They’re coming in with the aim of improving us gradually, and the majority of that work will begin in the summer when any new manager worth his salt would actually want to come to us.

The people saying it’s a mistake to keep him on by TFG are the exact same people who would moan if they sacked him, we got a firefighter in (realistically that’s all we’d be able to get till the end of the season), and we went down anyway. I can hear the cries of “Dyche would’ve kept us up” from here.

They want him to keep us up then he’ll 100% he gone by the end of the year. Lose the next 2 and/or drop into the bottom 3 and I bet he’ll be gone. It would be mad to not back the man publicly at this stage.

Sacking him and paying him off would also negatively impact the little we can spend in Jan too by the way.

just put dyche on gardening leave and promote within till end of season, wont cost anything

What is wrong with people suggesting you wouldn't know? You couldn't possibly know everything. I have always had respect for you mate and class you as reliable but i do not believe for a second that you or anyone else has up to date and reliable inside info from TFG who have only owned us a fortnight, have barely got their feet in the door and have a record of keeping their business and managerial decisions very close to their chests.

Absolutely. Impossible to know everything going on at football clubs. However, I know the current state of play and what the the ideal plan is regarding Dyche and the rest of the season. Thst said, football is fast paced world and circumstances can always change. That’s all I was replying to

 

[The Bobble]

Have you spoken to them have yer ? NO Yer FFIN Haven't. You know Jack apart from having a mate who leaks yer team news. BLERT.

Now you’re just being silly mate.

Poor @The Bobble - exposed to the full force of the Dyche hate storm.

Fair enough mate and yeah plans can change very quickly depending on how things are going.

Oh no

Charles Stevo gets his info from the back of toilet doors in his local Wetherspoons.

Then why hasn’t he called me?

 

[JammyP]

What about Rooney as a forward coach? He does know how to get the ball in the net. And hopefully he can learn from better managers along the way.

Totally get why blues are despondent with it all and mainly the manager. Hardly an attractive watch right now or enjoyable experience, not to mention he is clearly not the future. However it’s about context right now. You have a certain pool of managers out of work, a certain pool of managers who would be interested in the job and a certain pool of managers who would be interested at the end of the season. What if the quality of manager desired is in a job and wouldn’t join until the summer? The likes of Moyes and co have made it clear they don’t want short term stints at the moment too. The initial belief was the level of manager desired was/is not available right now or it would have to be a short term appointment to get us to the end of the season, which is a road they ideally didn’t want to go down. So to back Dyche internally, get through the season unscathed and remaining a premier league club was the original thought process. Of course, things can change in football, if Everton go on and get thumped for a few games and drop into the relegation zone, alarm bells will be ringing I imagine. Dislike Dyche or not, that’s everyone’s prerogative, but sometimes it’s not as easy as sacking a manager mid season for various reasons. TFG have been in and around the club for a long time, yes the takeover concluded a few weeks back but they were around the club long before that, so they knew and know exactly what has been going on for a long time, not just a few weeks.

 

[blue to the bone]

…..i expect the new owners have sat down and had lengthy separate talks with Dyche and Thelwell.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a divide and Dyche has been forthright in his condemnation of Thelwell, his clear lack of global knowledge, the dreadful contracts situation and the mediocrity he continues to bring in. Thelwell on the other hand will have told them how wonderful he is.

@The Bobble suggesting they’d like Dyche to see his contract out is surely accurate but it could mean little in reality. This is all assumption, but they’d be delighted if they don’t have to sack Dyche as it means he’s got us in a safe position. With his contract situation, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve promised him a large financial incentive to keep us up or assurances he leads the club into BMD. It doesn’t mean they won’t sack him at any point if the situation gets even more desperate.

Thelwell on the other hand, hopefully they saw right through him

Do you know who Dan Purdy is at all?

Is there a reason we can approach a manager from another team? We haven’t since Silva/Watford. We have a ban or something?

 

[blueblood]

I hope they didn't give Dyche an extra £50.

Dele didn’t get the £50 either. That’s why he finally left. The Friedkin’s thought he was on loan from Spurs so wasn’t eligible.

And Mother Teresa would have binned his arse on Sunday - a day of prayer

She would have given him a contract extension because Mother Theresa believed in suffering and not treatment, she was an inhumane monster. Sean Dyche’s version of goalless, winless “football” would have been right up her street.

 

[Thomasc]

Literally rolling the dice with Dyche and hoping he can get the team to improve on his appalling record of 8 wins in 38 to get us through the season and remain in the PL.

All it takes is one of the teams below us to pull a few results out, as Ipswich did the other night v Chelsea and we are gone.

But hey, if there’s no other real options we have to go with what we have got. If the club is relegated it gets what it deserves.
