HITC understands that David Moyes has emerged as Everton’s first choice to succeed Sean Dyche if, and when, they decide to make a change.
Everton have endured their worst start to a Premier League season, which was compounded by a league cup exit at the hands of Southampton.
Whilst embroiled in takeover talks with Americans John Textor and Dan Friedkin looking to takeover, the main issue is currently their form and whether Dyche should remain in charge.
Everton ready to turn to David Moyes
HITC can confirm that the Goodison Park hierarchy are hugely concerned by the club’s start to the new season and the fact they are already deep in relegation trouble, and talks have been ongoing over what to do.
Sources have told HITC that the club’s hierarchy are publicly backing Dyche, but we can confirm that due diligence has been ongoing over who could come in to take charge.
Graham Potter is one name that has been discussed, but HITC can confirm that former boss Moyes is the man who they are ready to turn to.
Former Everton boss Moyes is a free agent after leaving West Ham United earlier this summer and now his former club are gearing up to bring him back to Goodison Park, where he spent 11-years before joining Manchester United in 2011.
Everton were ready to wait until the next international break next month before deciding Dyche’s future, but HITC understands that the former Burnley boss’ tenure at the club may not last until then.
Toffees working hard to turn things around
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside this week, director of football Kevin Thelwell insisted that the club are working hard with Dyche to try and put things right.
“Sean and I work very closely together, our offices are across the road from each other and are literally a meter apart so we’re talking regularly in the mornings, regularly in the afternoons and regularly in the evenings, talking consistently about what things we can do and how we can use the resources that we have got available to try and making things better going forward.
“We’ve still got an ownership issue to resolve, we’ve still got financial situations to resolve and so that makes it very difficult for a manager when we want to try and take that next step.”
