Everton’s Takeover Drama Finally Comes to an End, But Sean Dyche’s Future Looks Bleak
The long-awaited takeover of Everton FC has finally been confirmed, with the Friedkin Group announcing that they have reached an agreement to purchase the majority stake in the club from Farhad Moshiri. This news will come as a relief to the Toffees’ fans, who have been waiting with bated breath for an end to the takeover drama that has been plaguing the club for over a year.
But while this development may be a positive one for Everton, it could spell trouble for current manager Sean Dyche. According to sources, Dan Friedkin has already identified a potential replacement for Dyche, and it’s none other than former England manager Gareth Southgate.
Southgate’s departure from the England job after Euro 2024 has left many wondering what his next move would be. While he was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, it seems that Friedkin has stolen a march on Sir Jim Ratcliffe and is keen to bring the 54-year-old to Goodison Park.
Dyche’s Everton side has made a dismal start to the season, picking up just one point from their opening four matches. With the pressure mounting, it’s hard to see how he can survive the takeover, especially if Friedkin is keen to bring in his own man.
But what does this mean for Everton’s prospects this season? Can Dyche turn things around, or will the new ownership bring in fresh faces and a new style of play? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the next few weeks will be crucial for the Toffees.
