Sean Dyche believes it will take time to build Everton into a “super-positive” story - but that he has arrived at a club with the key components for a rebuild.
The new Blues boss inherited a Frankenstein squad he was unable to strengthen in the final days of the transfer market, while issues between the club’s board and supporters remain an open wound.
Dyche has repeatedly stressed he will commit the time needed to understand the wider context of events at the club and highlighted his belief that the backing of the fanbase is crucial to progress. In his opening weeks at Finch Farm he said he had found hard-working staff who wanted the best for the club and were willing to help him find a way to take it forward.
