Sean Dyche is the man to keep Everton in the Premier League before moving into their “magnificent” new stadium, Henry Winter has said.
The Toffees are in their final season at Goodison Park, with the club moving to the brand-new Bromley-Moore Dock Stadium ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
However, after four league matches so far, Dyche’s side are sat rock-bottom of the Premier League table, with consecutive defeats to Brighton, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Speaking live via talkSPORT on Sunday (15 September, 9:44am), Winter said: “Players say they’re not affected by uncertainty and boardroom upheaval of whose going to be running the club, but they must be. The fans are close to the players, going on forums and social media.
“Who’s going to take over? Who’s looking through the books? Are there any issues in the books? Of course, they’ve got this magnificent new stadium. The thought of them starting in that magnificent stadium in the Championship…
“They have to focus on how serious this is and have to get out of this rut. It sounds like the board, quite rightly, are supporting Sean Dyche because you need fighters in a situation like this. They’re in a dogfight. They need some of their old dogs of war, which Dyche embodies as a manager.”
Sean Dyche under pressure after disappointing Everton start
The Toffees’ season is already balanced on a knife’s edge, albeit just four games into the new season.
Dyche’s tenure at Goodison Park could be coming to an end at some point this campaign, especially if he fails to turn the club’s fortunes around, even despite the wonders he has previously worked on Merseyside.
While Evertonians usually expected a difficult season in the Premier League, the manner in which Dyche’s side has capitulated against both the Cherries and Villa is totally unacceptable.
There may still be a while to go until December but the Toffees have consecutive matches against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City in that month, so the Toffees must begin picking up points before taking on that daunting run.
Dyche knows all too well about fighting for the cause at Everton, especially after being deducted a total of eight points last season, but there are few positive signs for the manager to lean on right now.
