He hasn't done anything that the likes of Pulis, Allardyce, Pardew and Hodgson haven't, and the only reason he's here is because the club was in such a desperate state.
His limitations and ceiling are obvious. We're not obliged to pretend that he's something he isn't just because he's in the Everton job.
Are they?
They're not to me - based on him only ever managing Burnley. That dictates you shouldn't be so conclusive and assertive - Dyche excelled at Burnley, let's hope he can do the same here.
He wouldn't have got the job here if we hadn't hit such a low - he was the first to acknowledge that, but that's football.
He's English and only managed at the lower end of the table and so you've put him in with Pulis (65), Allardyce (68), Pardew (61) and Hodgson (75),
Dyche is 51. The same age as Pochettino.
Let's keep an open mind - he's got as big as an endorsement as you can get from Burnley. Lets judge him on what he does at Everton.
