2024/25 Sean Dyche

[JLW]

Just been sent this.

He’s just rang me didn’t want to put it in a text, Everton want Iraola but know we won’t get him mid season, they’re prepared to wait till the end of the season and keep Dyche in order to get him, they don’t want a stop gap manager for next 5/6 months, and those who are available (Moyes) would not come on a short term basis. As previously stated unless something drastically changes it’s Dyche till the end of season then all out for Iraola

I have to say I care not one jot about Dyche at the end of the day.

I think he's done a great job the last two seasons and he should be given credit for it.

But if he's taking Everton down he has to go.

My point right now is that we're not at that place where you make that move. There's no way the disruption and risk taking justifies the sacking of Dyche. He's proven under these circumstances. If that changes and we look cemented into the bottom three I;ll change my tune too.

No manager or player is bigger than the club.

But the owners look like they've made a decision short term at least and it's one I support. We all should too, because there are valid reasons why we have lost the last two games.

Besides the last two we had four very credible results btw. So this really looks like a short run thing.

David, I wish to ask you a few questions and would appreciate your response.

You appear to be favouring keeping the manager even in light of performances getting worse (definitely attacking-wise) and average points per game decreasing.

Our rivals, especially Ipswich as you pointed out yesterday I believe, and also Wolves quite clearly, are improving while we are going backwards.

Obviously, if this continues literally for one more matchday, we'll be in the bottom three.

Questions:

• If the league looks the same as it does now come the end of January (1 point clear of 18th), and Dyche is still here, do you think that's the correct decision?
• Do you think it's wise for the owners to spend money on 'Dyche' signings if he's not going to be here after the summer?
• What signs have you seen that give you hope that an upturn in form is just around the corner?

New manager bounce is a real thing and we're proven now to be on the decline, to the point where we're being laughed at by small clubs like. Bournemouth. We don't even test the goalkeeper, and we're deep in a relegation fight.

Thank you.
