Everton manager Sean Dyche faces an uncertain future at Everton.

The Friedkin Group aren’t happy with the current situation at Everton and could make a change in the dugout if things get any worse.

At the moment, Everton are above the relegation zone but only narrowly, so there’s an immediate need to pick up points.

Everton fans have called for Thomas Frank to be appointed whilst some want David Moyes until the end of the season.

Graham Potter has been linked to Goodison Park, too, and if he is to replace Dyche, the Friedkin Group need to move immediately after what’s just broken.

Ajax, Leicester and West Ham eyeing Graham Potter

According to Alan Nixon’s Patreon, Graham Potter is desperate to return to management after missing out on the Manchester United and England job.

Potter is positioning himself on the market and is now being eyed by Ajax, Leicester City and West Ham United.

It’s understood he’s keen to return to the Premier League but only if he can influence the rest of their season.

So, as interest intensifies in the former Chelsea boss, Everton must act fast and work on a deal to appoint him whilst he’s available.

If they wait and allow themselves to slip further down the league, the prospect of appointing him will decrease significantly.

Potter would be perfect for Everton

Everton have the second-oldest squad in the Premier League, only behind West Ham, so there’s clearly a need to rebuild.

That said, Potter is the perfect man to lead a project and has overseen one of the best recruitment strategies (at Brighton) the Premier League has seen in recent years.

Plus, his brand of football would be much more exciting for Everton fans than Dyche’s, so the Friedkin Group must do everything they can to bring him to Goodison Park.

Potter would be a great fit.
