It has got to the stage where people are having to debate exactly why Everton fans are booing. When Sean Dyche turned to his bench during the Carabao Cup defeat by Southampton, the echo of disdain was aimed at the manager. Whether it was over the removal of the lone striker Beto when there was a match to be won or bringing on Ashley Young is uncertain. The truth is somewhere in between but the key detail is that there is unrest at Goodison Park.
Dyche admits the situation on and off the pitch at Everton is volatile. In matches the volatility can best be likened to a toddler at a birthday party who has peaked early with large doses of sugar before crashing late on. In the boardroom, the situation is far more serious. John Textor is working in the background to complete a takeover but whether he can get it done is yet to be determined.
There are few paying punters willing to back the manager. It feels as if the atmosphere is growing in toxicity as Dyche becomes the focal point for years of mismanagement at the club. There is not a flick of a switch and we have solved everything, Dyche said. There is miles to go in the journey of Everton Football Club.
