According to the Daily Mail, sacking Sean Dyche under mounting pressure would cost Everton up to £4 million.
The newspaper revealed on page 77 of its print edition on Friday (22 September) that there is a condition in the Toffees manager’s contract that allows him to be paid up until the conclusion of the season.
It further stated that the putative new owners, 777 Partners, are fans of the Englishman and that it is unclear who at Goodison Park has the ability to fire him while the takeover is ongoing.
This is an extremely tough decision to have to make as the results haven’t been anywhere near good enough this season despite the performances not being too bad.
Dyche came in and saved the club from what looked to be certain relegation last season and will back himself to achieve that again during this campaign.
But is that really enough for the club the size of the Blues? It absolutely isn’t and matters do need to improve on the pitch quickly, otherwise, he could be in trouble.
After what he accomplished in the second half of last season, he is likely to be given at least a few more games to try to turn things around.
It’s unclear who would make that decision, given 777 Partners does not currently have the necessary authority, and Farhad Moshiri is unlikely to want to add to the confusion. Only time will tell.
In other Everton news, the club is in talks with the representatives of a PSG player about a January move.
