2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

I think if they fire Dyche that all but guarantees TFG solely making the appointee as I dont think theyll empower or value Thelwell's input. I think that sets an extremely dangerous precedent in regards to TFG's tenure of overruling any director. I think hiring a manager before a DoF is all but doomed to fail, especially when factoring the amount of additions needed in the summer.

In the hypothetical they do fire Dyche it will be on grounds of relegation fears. That means the rationale in a new appointee will be predominantly survival. I think that points to a crop of managers not all that dissimilar than Dyche but because newly appointed will likely dictate maybe the most crucial summer at Everton in a decade.

People can frame the fears of Dyche staying being relegation, but they have to simultaneously acknowledge the inverse risks. Firing Dyche while this club has no backroom model or strategy, no longterm DoF and a looming transformational summer simply on the numbers of players they'll have to bring in is unequivocally a massive risk as well.

Which one is more worrisome is fair to debate, but I personally think safety is far more viable than a new appointee in the current context not being disastrous for all the above mentioned reasons. That said relegation would also be disastrous so welcome to Everton Friedkins.
 


The people who think they’re in the know actually know nothing. Their so-called 'Finch Farm sources' are usually something like their mum’s mate’s cousin’s aunty who happens to be a cleaner there or something.
 
Is it too optimistic to think TFG have already decided to get rid, but we just haven’t announced it yet? If they are reviewing his position, I can’t see how they could possibly conclude he’s the best option available based on the first half of this season.
