Ally McCoist thinks there’s an ‘obvious’ manager candidate to replace Sean Dyche at Everton

Everton’s managerial situation has dominated the headlines, ever since Saturday’s diabolical capitulation.

It was to be expected, given Sean Dyche was already on thin ice at Everton, but what made things far worse was the manner of that defeat.

Leading 2-0, the Toffees were cruising, and had arguably played some of the best football since the 53-year-old was appointed.

Meanwhile, the visitors had posed no threat at all, until the 87th minute, when that all changed.

Such a poor run was bound to inspire some frustration for the manager, but that, paired with such a damaging result, has provoked an almighty emotional reaction.

Now, it feels like Sean Dyche is fighting for his life on Merseyside, with the 3-2 scoreline just the tip of the iceberg.

Ally McCoist weighs in on Everton’s managerial situation

Speaking on talkSPORT just yesterday, Ally McCoist was the latest to weigh in on Everton’s managerial situation.

After all, it has been a real topic of contention in recent weeks, especially since Dyche’s team fell to an embarrassing collapse last weekend against AFC Bournemouth.

It has never ever really felt like the 53-year-old’s job was completely secure at Goodison Park, and such a dire start to the Premier League season has only added fuel to the fire of those who would discredit him.

And now, this pundit is the latest to pile on, having even suggested an alternative should the Toffees decide to dismiss Dyche.

Reacting to rumours that Everton want to bring David Moyes back, McCoist claimed: ‘There will always be people who go there, I don’t care what anybody says. The obvious choice for obvious reasons would be David Moyes. He is not in a job. That’s a given, that’s a taken. Moyes did a fantastic job at Everton in the past.’

David Moyes would not be an upgrade on Sean Dyche

If Everton were to make a mid-season change, resulting in Dyche’s sacking, then surely they would want to go for someone with a bit more ambition than Moyes.

After all, it’s hardly like the Scotsman is famed for a brand of football completely different to the former Burnley bosses.

His adaptation into the modern game has to be applauded, and turning West Ham United from a plucky mid-table outfit into genuine contenders for European football was mesmeric.

But the fact of the matter is that no manager will succeed at Goodison Park until a new owner is in place and, alongside it, fresh funds and a new vision.

Moyes deserves credit for his sparkling managerial career, but at this particular juncture, he would not provide an upgrade on Dyche, a man built to help drag teams out of the mire.
