Everton reporter notebook: David Moyes would find it difficult to turn down return after wheels come off for Sean Dyche | Football News happymamay

After days of assessing the club’s direction and the future of manager Sean Dyche, Everton’s new owners, the Friedkin Group, have come to the decision that parting ways was in the club’s best interests.

It is not a decision the Americans wanted to make at this time. Their plan was to allow Deche to complete the remainder of his contract, which was due to expire in June, and then embark on a detailed review of the club from top to bottom.

There has been appreciation for Daiichi’s work over his two years in charge, which were sometimes painful, sometimes uncertain on and off the field.

In fact, it’s fair to say he’s had to deal with a situation no other Everton manager has ever had to deal with – a relegation battle in his first five months, a PSR points deduction, strict financial constraints, a complete change of board and much more. . .

But despite all that, the results this season were not good enough. The performances this season have not been good enough and the statistics indicate that something needs to change. This is what ultimately convinced the Transitional Federal Government of the need to act.

The prospect of relegation in the first six months and starting life at their new stadium in the Championship next season was one that could not be left to chance.

Of course, this remains a concern and their choice of Daiichi’s replacement must be a balance between the need to look to the future but also the necessity of securing short-term safety for their Premier League status.

Now attention will turn to who’s next.

There are a number of candidates and I understand that the new owners would prefer to bring in someone who is not currently holding a position at another club, for two reasons.

Firstly, they need to make a date quickly and do not want to have long negotiations with another club, and secondly, and perhaps more importantly, they will see any compensation that has to be paid as wasted money, which should be directed towards the player. Acquisitions.

There has been a lot of talk about Jose Mourinho, but this is highly unlikely and it is understood there has been no contact with the former TFG manager at Roma.

The likely target is former Everton boss David Moyes, who is currently available following his departure from West Ham and someone Friedkin’s group is interested in.

He clearly has a long association with the club and will start at a place he knows well without much description during the transition period.

Moyes knows the club better than most, having spent 11 years there. Most importantly, from then on, Seamus Coleman will remain at the club, and if Moyes returns, that relationship could be crucial.

Moyes recently said he did not want to go to a club in a relegation battle, but Everton is different, there is a bond and I think it will be very difficult for him to turn down the offer – if it is made.

If Moyes takes over, I think he is the safest option. Changing managers in this position is a big risk, and having someone who knows the club well and can hit the ground running is a big plus.

Everton needs the club to become secure, and I believe they can do that.

Paulo Fonseca is also a name mentioned, he was coach of Roma when Friedkins took over the Italian League.

He also has a history of wanting the Everton job, he was a serious candidate before Marco Silva got the job and also a contender before Roberto Martinez was appointed when Bill Kenwright owned the club.

However, whoever comes in there is always a risk factor when changing coach with a club in Everton’s position.

The owners will understand this through their dealings with Roma, and will learn that minimal risk is the safest approach, as demonstrated with Claudio Ranieri’s return to the club.

Whoever gets the job will face a big challenge. Everton are certainly in a relegation battle but there are plenty of games left and things could look a lot better quickly if the right man is in place.

The Friedkins have a big task ahead of them, on and off the field.

The club has been in a state of paralysis over the last few years due to the long takeover drama, but it is also a club that has not had a trophy in nearly 30 years, the longest trophyless spell in its long and illustrious history.

The decision to change coach is just the first of many big decisions to be made in the coming months as TFG look to bring back the glory days to this major rival in English football.

Fans want and expect the best. Managing Everton comes with as high expectations as any club in the Premier League, but for a few, ask any former player or manager about the pressure of playing for a club that, before the start of the Premier League, was known as one of the ‘Big Four’.

Of course, it has been a long time since Everton have been part of the elite and they never seemed to want to add to their nine league titles during that period, but that expectation, whether wrong or not, has never gone away.

There is a generation of fans who have not experienced success in any form, and are left only with a feeling of anemia, and the generations before them have been left bewildered by the failure to keep up, not only with the established big clubs but with newcomers who have overtaken Everton among the Premier League achievers. Excellent.

Whoever takes over from Dyche will have a fantastic opportunity, with a fantastic new stadium, financial stability with new owners and the prospect of a fresh start to rebuilding the English football establishment – but only after struggling to save it from a more pressing challenge.
