With the manager under increasing pressure a pivotal January awaits for Everton and their new owners. Neither can afford any false steps

Everton manager Sean Dyche said Tuesday he understands the Toffees’ new owners may be considering his position as he battles to preserve the club’s Premier League status.

Delivering results on the pitch remains the top priority for Sean Dyche, but the Everton manager said his work during two tumultuous years at the club should be measured by much more than just winning games.

Everton manager Sean Dyche says he has “no problem” with the club’s new owner making a succession plan for his departure. Dyche said in December he was “not worried” about his Goodison Park future after The Friedkin Group (TFG) completed their long-awaited takeover of the club.

Sean Dyche has pulled no punches on his Everton future amid growing speculation. The 53-year-old took over at Goodison Park two years ago before guiding the club to Premier League safety in the past two seasons
