He was appointed as Everton Manager with the club on 15 points from 21 games with a desperate remit to keep Everton up, and no resources to make that happen.
Dyche achieved it. Can you remember how dire Everton were? No shape, no backbone, no fight. He’s then built on that and - without points deduction - got Everton comfortably mid table in his next season.
This is now his third season and again despite having to sell players and the backdrop of a chaotic listless club trying to be sold he at least has an Everton with the basics that has a more than fighting chance of going into a new ground avoiding a commercial and existential crisis of being relegated before that.
Should Everton kick on from that then he will deserve a lot of credit for a long time. It’s likely he’s not gonna be expansive enough nor favoured by new owners so in essence he’s the hard nosed pragmatist Everton needed before they transition into something else. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a line drawn at the end of season and his contract and new owners go for their vision in a different man, and that’s fine.
Just would be nice to get through the season without the self assured idealists and super bloos launching a destabilising coup against Dyche every time they don’t get their good feel three points on the weekend, and all because they would rather be proven right than Everton win. The MAGA of Evertonians that need punting back into the long grass so the sound and reasonable can prevail.
