[Football] Dyche looking likely for Everton ***CONFIRMED***

[Bozza]

If anyone can sort them out from here, Dyche is the man. Bringing in Bielsa-mid-season would be risky.

Sean Dyche is expected to be named as Everton's new manager, succeeding the sacked Frank Lampard.​

​

Dyche and former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa were the two main contenders after holding talks with Everton's hierarchy.​

​

Bielsa was initially understood to be the favoured choice of owner Farhad Moshiri but the former Burnley boss is now in pole position.​

He seemed the obvious choice to me. Did a fantastic job at Burnley.

His structure/organisation is exactly what they need at the moment. Then from next season it'll be interesting to see what he can do with a competitive budget rather than Burnley's shoestring.

Bielsa seems like a crazy choice to me with the team low on confidence, structure and resilience.

“Moshiri will be making his seventh managerial appointment since buying into the club in February 2016.”

Never been really convinced by Dyche, his methods and his playing style. Be interesting to see what he does at Everton…apart from getting the boot in a year or so time.

Watford lite.

Just when you are looking forward to seeing Everton relegated, they may just be making a sensible decision and giving themselves a better chance of staying up.

I was really looking forward to Bielsa coming back to the Premier League, and the abundance of goals in the Everton games, as they regularly lost 2-4 or 3-5.

Tough crowd.

He got li'l old Burnley promoted, finished seventh in the Premier League and qualified for Europe. And all on a pretty modest budget. The latter two things are still stuff of dreams for Brighton & Hove Albion.

I think the gruff persona often on display fools a lot of people - it did me - he's anything but the traditional footballing dinosaur that many believe. He's pragmatic when he needs to be. See also: Hughton, Chris.

Isn't the issue that they don't have a competitive budget as they spaffed it on players they are stuck with and managers they sacked?

 

[Stato]

Dyche should be the only choice and Bozza's right that the public image underestimates him. I suspect that they'll bring him in, he'll start getting regular clean sheets, then save them from relegation, sort out the playing staff and training, gradually get rid of big money wasters and replace them with unglamorous, but hard working pros. He'll have them playing pragmatic, but not unattractive football that reflects where they currently stand in the league hierachy and this will lead them to a top half finish next season. Then he'll have a rocky period and their fans will turn on him because, despite their only recent period of sustained relative success being under the equally pragmatic David Moyes, they still believe the School of Science to be a thing and consider winning ugly to be beneath a club of their stature. (See also Allardyce, Sam).

Oh good, another terrible, anti-football side but now with added entitlement.

You've seen Everton recently right?
They're already terrible.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Believe it or nuts, I don't think Dyche plays anti football. his teams were always full on, tackling hard and roughing up the tippy tappy sides....you play to the strengths of whats available to you

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Does Dyche actually have any record for going into a dressing room in a tailspin and sorting them out in a couple of weeks?
He worked wonders at Burnley but that was over time, they got relegated and came back.

Sean Dyche: 'You're constantly looking for the X factor, that mystical ingredient' | Burnley | The Guardian

Burnley’s manager may have a gruff exterior but he also has some unexpected views on football players, family and much else

amp.theguardian.com

His love of Thatcher should go down well in Liverpool


As for his politics, Dyche is a remainer – though he somewhat surprised me in naming Margaret Thatcher in his “six-a-side team to save the world”.
“You’re doing this to wind me up now, aren’t you?”
“When I was growing up, she was just such a big figure, doing so much, never off the news and I thought my God, that is some woman, in the world as it was then, you must have something special to be doing that job the way you do it.”

As others smarter than I have pointed out:-

'if your manager shortlist is between Dyche and The Bucketman you clearly haven't got a fudging clue'.

 

[Easy 10]

Reports from those talks in London are that Bielsa was interested in taking the job, but not until the summer. He was suggesting to them that he took a role with their U23's, whilst the club appoint someone on an interim basis just for the rest of the season, then he'd take over.

Bonkers. Athough I wouldn't have put it past fool Moshiri to go along with it.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Really interested to see what Dyche can do with some financial backing (assuming they stay up and he keeps his job).

For this season, I can see him firing up the spine of their team. Pickford, Tarkowski, Onana and Calvert-Lewin. You can imagine them and Dyche at Goodison, with a couple of better results getting the fighting spirit going.

Either way, it's a really interesting move for the neutral.

Yes and no. They do seem to have wasted all their money but the Everton budget is (I believe) comfortably bigger than Burnley's ever was(even if currently it is being poorly spent). Once they can get some of the dead wood off the wage bill, sell a player or two then they should have a decent budget to wrk with.

Maybe it'll take 18 months but they should get there. Once they do we'll be able to see what Dyche can do. Assuming they haven't sacked him in the meantime.

First sensible managerial appointment for them in years if true, I hope it's not

"He even laid the boxes out in a classic 4-4-2." When his time in football management ends, Sean Dyche needs to start up a podcast on food.
