Sean Dyche strikes us as the kind of bloke who always has a bag packed, just in case. We can only hope the now-former Everton manager was logistically prepared for Thursday’s events as the club’s new owners, The Friedkin Group, finally made their presence felt by marching him unceremoniously through the door marked Do One at 4.32pm, the timing not ideal for football’s most teatimely email. It was also little more than three hours until kick-off in Everton’s next match, an FA Cup third-round tie at home to Peterborough. So, after just under two years in charge and two-and-a-half relegation escapes, achieved against a backdrop of near-total financial meltdown, that was it: so long and good luck? As their club statement may as well have said, TFG don’t recall saying good luck.
