Sean Dyche has said he wants to ignite the fire that still burns at Everton by creating a team that embodies the values of Howard Kendall’s great sides of the 80s.
The Everton manager starts his reign amid difficult circumstances on Saturday when the league leaders, Arsenal, visit in a game bookended by protests against the board. Despite the acrimony and the team’s dreadful run of one win in 12 Premier League games, Dyche believes there remains a spirit at Everton that can be crucial in the fight to avoid relegation. And he wants to tap into the values that underpinned the club’s last period of sustained success.
