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.
TFG would be best getting a transfer or two done this month that can get us comfortably across the line and their investment safe. It doesn't matter that Dyche will have no part to play in their future at the club.
The focus should be on players in not managers out.
