Sean Dyche backtracks after Ally McCoist challenges what he said about the Friedkins at Everton

Sean Dyche was not shocked that Everton boss David Moyes hasn't spoken to Dan Friedkin.

Moyes made the revelation that he has not met or talked to the figurehead of the Friedkin Group after the failed Folarin Balogun pursuit.

He shared that his main contacts are Chief Executive Officer Angus Kinnear and Rishi Majithia.

That has come back into focus after the news that the Friedkin Group are considering a full sale of the Blues, rather than strategic investment.

Moyes' predecessor in the dugout, Dyche, believes that it could be a good thing that the boss hasn't spoken to the 61-year-old businessman.

However, Ally McCoist fired back and then the ex-Burnley man changed his view on the matter.

What did Sean Dyche and Ally McCoist say about the Friedkins and Everton?

Dyche thinks that no contact may mean that they are just letting Moyes get on with his job.

However, former Rangers striker McCoist was not having it, and he challenged the 55-year-old's view.

Speaking on talkSPORT's breakfast show on Tuesday, Dyche said: “You could read into the idea of not having spoke to the chairman, you can read that both ways though, don’t forget.

“On the other hand, you could argue, that they just let him get on with it, that could become a bit of freedom.”

McCoist responded, saying: “I take your point, but surely you would think, ‘listen, I’m here, I’m taking over the club, I’m going to let you get on with it, best of luck’."

Dyche replied: “No, I get what you mean, from your chairman you’re probably going to get a bit more than that, there should be some form of contact.

“Whether they’re exaggerating that moment, as if there’s none at all, I would be surprised if there’s literally no, even just saying ‘welcome to the club, I hope you go well’.”

Why Dan Friedkin's approach is so baffling

Moyes had no reason to lie about whether he had spoken to or met Friedkin; it does no benefit if he was to exaggerate.

Dyche may well be right, it might be a good thing, as it gives the Scotsman the chance to work away without a meddling owner.

However, Dan Friedkin should have shown more commitment, rather than leaving communication to those under him.

There was a disturbing lack of that, especially given how the transfer window went, with the near sale of Harrison Armstrong, then the fact that they missed out on Balogun.

Hopefully, the new ownership, when they take over, are more transparent and have more interest in working with the manager, rather than leaving him to his own devices.

It just suggests to supporters that they do not care, and means the fans struggle to warm to the new regime, as we have seen with the Roma owners.

Many Blues fans are sceptical of the Friedkins and that is not a surprise given their approach to running the L3 outfit so far, which has left more questions than answers for supporters.
