His critics have every entitlement to be: his record this season is appalling and his football worse.
But - and this is where I part ways with them - the real issue is upstairs. Nothing will change until the ownership changes. It is in the boardroom where the critical dysfunction is. And that's where genuine anger should be directed.
So, for me: Dyche was a necessary evil. He just about remains so. But I won't lose any sleep if somebody at Everton accidentally discovers they have power to...do something and make a change. Mind you, given their track record of decision-making, perhaps it is best if nothing happens. All in all, we're adrift and on a wing and a prayer until the ownership changes hands. Everything else is choreography and demonstrative acting out.
