Sean Dyche managed to convince Everton chiefs Bill Kenwright and Kevin Thelwell that he was the right fit for Everton as they took the lead role in identifying the club's next manager.
Dyche, who led Burnley for a decade, had been out of a job for just shy of 12 months before the Toffees came calling as they look to retain their Premier League status. Majority owner Farhad Moshiri doesn't appear to have been present in meetings with Kenwright and Thelwell, the club's sporting director.
The Iranian businessman has copped criticism for how he's run the club - and his preferred candidate for the role was reportedly Marcelo Bielsa. The former Leeds boss held talks with the Merseysiders, but negotiations did not prove productive and they moved on to Dyche - who impressed some of the leading lights.
