Sean Dyche sack claim made live on talkSPORT after Everton loss v Bournemouth
Everton manager Sean Dyche needs to improve results or else he will be sacked, according to Alan Pardew.
The Blues have not won in their last five Premier League matches since a 4-0 victory over Wolves on 4 December and stumbled to a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday (4 January).
As a result, they sit 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone with a game in hand on their fellow strugglers against arch-rivals Liverpool.
Dyche is under severe pressure and Pardew gave his verdict live on talkSPORT [5 January, 20:51], saying: “No. I’m not calling for [his sack] at all but they need results.
“There’s a lot of pressure on him, especially with the new stadium. I don’t know where this will go.
“Results are everything for Sean. He doesn’t play an attractive style and he knows he needs results.”
Sean Dyche on borrowed time at Everton
Sky Sports reported on Monday (6 January) that The Friedkin Group have held crunch talks regarding the Goodison Park future of Dyche.
A report from Josimar journalist Paul Brown (5 January) claimed that their priority right now is sorting the future of sporting director Kevin Thelwell and appointing a new CEO.
There are also Profit and Sustainability concerns about sacking Dyche according to the i journalist Mark Douglas, so the new owners may just left his contract expire in the summer instead.
That could be a major gamble with the Blues set to be dragged into another brutal survival battle after a poor run of results.
Dyche infuriated fans with his comments after the loss to Bournemouth, when he said that the recent run of results would have been good if they had won the matches.
The 53-year-old is surely on borrowed time with the Toffees but may somehow survive until the summer due to the wider issues surrounding the club.
