Sean Dyche has full backing of current ownership despite fan discontent

It's exactly what they would say, irrespective of what might or might not be going on in what used to be the smoke-filled rooms.

Dyche is always going to "be in charge for the foreseeable future" … until one day, all of a sudden, he is in charge no longer. That's just the way it always works. So really, we are none the wiser.

Michael, of course you're right, it means nothing, if and when results don't go our way or someone tips their hand..

The press know he is a dead man walking, never mind the fans, foreseeable future... that could be a day, a week, a month or a year, or the next bad result..

TFG aren't going to say anything until they want to. Not sure what's that meant to do Alan, make the fans happier or angrier? Make Dyche feel more secure until the next result? For whose benefit was that made public! To quell speculation? Not a chance.. TFG are merely keeping their powder dry..

Or perhaps you just mean that the person (or persons) who will do the deed at some point have a distinct advantage in terms of foresight?

He's walking away from Everton probably just in time to enjoy his first Christmas in quite a few years away from football so he can afford to be content with Everton's manager at the moment.

I can't see how sacking Dyche is even on Moshiri's radar at this late stage. As Paul #4 suggests Moshiri is done throwing money at this.

I'm sure we'll see Dyche "on the grass" come January
