Everton: Tony Bellew heaps praise on ‘brilliant’ Sean Dyche after Finch Farm visit
Tony Bellew has heaped praise on Sean Dyche after what he has done with Everton this season and their recent run of form, as he confessed the pair speak regularly.
The former cruiserweight world champion boxer, and massive Everton supporter, revealed he visits the Finch Farm training ground regularly where he sees the players, describing them as “brilliant”.
He did, however, admit he has not been able to attend games since returning from his appearance on the ITV show ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here’ as he has been busy catching up with his life.
Speaking live on talkSPORT [18 December, 09:36], Bellew gushed: “I speak to the gaffer and he’s absolutely brilliant.
“My little baby plays for Everton so I’m at Finch Farm more than I’ve ever been, I’m there five times a week. Seeing the lads and stuff like that, it’s been brilliant.
“I didn’t go to Burnley at the weekend, I was supposed to go but I couldn’t because I’m playing catch-up with my life at the minute.”
Dyche is working miracles
Given the circumstances at Goodison Park this season, including a difficult start to the season and peaking with the ten-point deduction handed out by the Premier League, Dyche has worked miracles with the squad he has at his disposal.
That ten-point deduction served as an inspiration to the club as a whole, and they have since won four games on the bounce without conceding a single goal, a testament to the work Dyche has put in on the training ground, including results against Chelsea and Newcastle.
Bellew’s words of admiration towards the gaffer and his players will surely echo the sentiments of all Everton fans, describing him as brilliant is the least he has earned after what he has done for the club this season.
With anybody else at the helm, who knows where Everton could have ended up after the points deduction, but in his typical strong and sturdy style, Dyche has guided them out of the shark-infested waters and allowed them to look up the table.
In other Everton news, they have been given an advantage ahead of the Carabao Cup clash.
