‘Dyche’s start as manager has been as poor as his team’s’

Must read

[BBC]

BBC Sport’s chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

@JoeJonesEverton on ‘X’ asked: I would like your views on Dyche being relieved of his duties immediately, and if so who could come in? Moyes is available. Dyche 100% has to go now but the question is who should replace him?

Phil answered: You’ve made your views on Sean Dyche very clear but I do not think he should be relieved of his duties immediately, even though his start as manager has been as poor as his team’s this season.

I do certainly feel he will come under real pressure if Everton lose their next two games but there are lots of questions around who would succeed Dyche if he was to leave? Who takes that decision? Who appoints a new manager? Would someone be prepared to risk taking it on knowing there might be a new owner in a couple of months who might fancy someone else?

Moyes, as you say, is available and we do not have to outline his connections to the club – but even if the situation arose he would want an awful lot of questions answered before he would consider it.
