Sean Dyche has full backing of current ownership despite fan discontent
Everton’s hierarchy retain confidence in Sean Dyche despite the Toffees’ poor start to the season, and their run of three games without scoring a goal; the side were booed off after a 0-0 draw with Brentford on Saturday, where they played more than 45 minutes against 10 men
The boos around Goodison Park which followed Everton’s goalless draw against 10-player Brentford on Saturday reflected the sense of frustration, anxiety and continued disappointment surrounding the club.
It is a frustration that has plagued all connected with the club for some time now but one that gathers in intensity month by month.
It’s a feeling only punctuated by the prospect of an iconic new stadium which has risen majestically along the famous Mersey waterfront and the hope that prospective new owners, The Friedkin Group (TFG), will bring to a punch-drunk fan base and club workforce.
After Saturday’s game, there was a quote circulating from one player pointing out the positives that Everton had only lost one of the last eight games. However, the beleaguered Everton fans don’t see it as a positive.
They want to see wins, they want to see good performances, goals… and some sign that a club which has hung around the bottom of the Premier League for so long it’s in danger of being charged for loitering with intent might start to show progress, rather than the rollercoaster experience they’ve been subjected to for far too long.
