Thirty-five points will be able to secure safety given how the Premier League table is at the minute. "He did a really good job at Burnley and it was only towards the end that it started to change. But Dyche has been able to turn his hands in a different way at Burnley. For Evertonians, the last week has been an eternity. We also knew he wanted a bit more pace in the side. "They need a simplicity to how they play. He's got to get a tune out of the players. The one thing with Dyche's teams is that first and foremost they're hard to beat. "The key fact will be the ability to work with this group of players and how he can get his message across. "I hope Sean can really get into these players because some of them need a kick up their behinds. On the other hand, it was felt Dyche could hit the ground running. One of them is defender Michael Keane, who spent three seasons working under Dyche at Burnley between 2014 and 2017.

Everton were unable to persuade Marcelo Bielsa to take over.

Sean Dyche is set to be named the new manager of Everton and he has spoken in the past about being a 'distant Liverpool fan'

The town has become a huge part of my life, and myself and my family thank you for everything we have all experienced together during my time as manager.

Sean Dyche is poised to be named Everton's manager after Marcelo Bielsa told the club he was not willing to take full charge until the summer.

He would take over a team that have lost 11 of their past 14 matches in all competitions and lie joint-bottom of the Premier League. That would have left Everton needing an interim manager for the precarious task of keeping them in the Premier League and was not a situation the club was willing to accept. That raised their hopes of enticing the Argentinian to Goodison Park, despite his reservations over the state of the club and the squad and his record of never taking over a European club mid-season.

Former Leeds United boss Bielsa had initially emerged as the frontrunner to succeed Lampard, though it quickly became clear that the relationship would not work ...

Someone else would have been in charge of the first team – and Everton’s fight against relegation – with Bielsa then taking over as manager in the summer.

[The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sean-dyche-set-to-land-everton-job-after-bielsa-proposed-working-with-u21s-until-summer-kz0h2vq0n), the Argentine flew to London for face-to-face talks but made a series of bizarre demands – the biggest of which was that he did not want to take over until the summer.

Everton are on the verge of appointing former Burnley boss Sean Dyche as their next manager after the sacking of Frank Lampard.

[slashed the odds on Dyche](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-new-manager-live-dyche-26084580) taking over at Goodison Park amid reports he was set to get the job on Friday morning. Dyche would be re-united with ex-Burnley players Dwight McNeil, James Tarkowski and Michael Keane and work would immediately begin on contributing to Thelwell's efforts to strengthen the playing squad ahead of the transfer deadline on Tuesday. Should he be appointed, as is now widely expected, he will take over after Lampard endured a winless run of 10 games and with the club above bottom-of-the-table Southampton simply through goal difference. The 51-year-old spent 10 years at Burnley, guiding the club to two promotions from the Championship and a seventh-place finish in the Premier League - meaning he took the side into Europe. Bielsa was understood to be majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri's initial first choice but emphasis on the hiring process was placed on Mr Moshiri, the Everton board and director of football Kevin Thelwell reaching a team decision. He was sacked in April as Burnley were engulfed in a relegation battle they would ultimately lose.

One of them is defender Michael Keane, who spent three seasons working under Dyche at Burnley between 2014 and 2017.

The managerial shortlist of the pragmatic Dyche versus the high-tempo Marcelo Bielsa was further evidence the club has no clear plan.

Bielsa’s reservations over the state of the club and the suitability of the squad to his methods are well-founded. Everton’s riposte will be the strategic review, the board’s answer to the criticism they attracted last season and which has resulted in 26 appointments behind the scenes by Thelwell. The boyhood Evertonian missed three days of training this week in an attempt to force through his £40m move to St James’ Park. That is not to disparage the anticipated arrival of Dyche. From high-tempo, attacking, possession-based football under the Argentinian to the more direct, defensively sound and pragmatic approach of the former Burnley manager inside 24 hours. The club can only pray that the next manager’s roadmap for Premier League survival brings more clarity and success than their own.
