The Blueshite are favourites for taking one spot then

Someone like Cambridge should take a bet. Get some Netflix series out of it for a year.

Some murmurs about Dyche being likely to lose his job. Hope he stays on till the Liverpool game.

He is probably safe until the Friedkin takeover closes, which is supposedly soon, but not likely before the weekend. The club and two owners could always come to a side agreement to terminate him before that, but it wouldn’t be the ideal fixture to have an interim take over on short notice.

Dyche has been very well paid for the skillset he has… Just a pity the Blueshite didn’t appoint him two decades ago… his tactics would have been cutting edge then :0)

I’d be very careful with that potential change right now, if I was them. Bad results in the last few weeks, but the situation is not that terrible yet. Like at United, it’s not only the head coach position that is questionable or underperforming (although you could argue if Dyche can even do much better with what he has), plus that stadium move awating next summer. Not a time for some wild decisions. Of course, it depends who would they replace him with, but it’s certainly not a time for some “Frank Lampard to make us play attacking football” type of moves. I did doubt whether Howe could quickly change at Newcastle (and he did) when he took over from Bruce and years of more pragmatic/defensive head coaches, but that is also not the same situation as Everton now.

Yeah I can’t see a change until the takeover.
Of course the Wolves game is a vital one for them as Wolves could go ahead of them with a win.
You know however which the players will prioritise

Surely doing right by him would be to pay his costs to attend the rescheduled game?
Inviting him to watch training is… Thoroughly underwhelming.

Still a shame though.
He probably thought it’s the last time he would get to see Everton vs Liverpool at Goodison.
It’s the equivalent of 90s style “scared straight” programs for troubled teens.
“making him watch this travesty will set him on a better path”

He should have been used to the disappointment when he chose the bitters to support.
Why not issue him with the first ticket of the first game in their new stadium…
Then let him be the first to BOOOO! :0)

Plenty of things they can do as a multimillionaire pound business.
Moaning that they should put people’s lives at risk because of his own personal situation.
Get lost.
I don’t remember him but looks like he played 34 games for them
I remember him, he was a technically good centre midfielder but was skinny as a rake and half as strong. I think Everton signed him right after getting Chang Beer as a sponsor, and he was probably more of a marketing stunt than a serious signing.

A group led by Dan Friedkin is closing in on a deal to buy Everton, with a takeover set to be completed next week. (Times - subscription required), external

No, not immediately. They’ll wait until the end of the season whether or not they go down.
They really aren’t going down.
Lucky fuckers.
They do deserve to go down but they aren’t.

I remember him. Didn’t watch too much of Everton then but he was serviceable when he wasn’t injured.
