Evertonians face a potential wait beyond today for the official announcement of Sean Dyche as their club’s new manager.
The former Burnley boss has agreed to succeed Frank Lampard and become the eighth incumbent of the home dugout at Goodison Park under Farhad Moshiri’s ownership.
Lampard was sacked last Monday after Moshiri attended his first Everton game in 15 months – along with all of the club’s board members who had missed the previous fixture at home to Southampton due to security concerns – with the 2-0 defeat at fellow strugglers West Ham United being the team’s eighth defeat in their last nine matches. The result left the Blues joint bottom of the table, only above basement side Southampton on goal difference, with their 15 point total their lowest ever at this stage of a Premier League season.
