The one big thing 777 Partners must do once Everton takeover gets confirmed

Everton have had little to enjoy in recent years, with their brief flirtations with positivity so often short-lived.

Even in this campaign, as they seemingly started to creep back towards stability under Sean Dyche, their ten-point deduction dragged them immediately back down to reality.

Were it not for their 52-year-old boss, such a punishment would have marked a death sentence in the past. However, due to the clear progress made under his leadership, and the dwindling quality of the division, they still stand a chance.

Having been transformed from a defensively weak outfit that created little, Dyche has reorganised their backline into something resembling stability whilst turning them into a unit actually capable of threatening the opposition’s goal with regularity.

Part of their resurgence this season is owed to Jack Harrison’s arrival, who despite struggling in recent weeks has had a largely positive start to life on Merseyside.

And yet, tying him down to a permanent deal must be brushed aside if it is to threaten the renewal of Dyche’s contract, which reports have suggested could be under threat.

How good is Jack Harrison?

777 Partners continue to push to complete their takeover, and if they are to achieve success, a new contract for the manager is a must if Everton are to maintain their steady upward trajectory.

Ideally, they would capture both Harrison and Dyche, with the former typifying the ideal winger for the system employed by the former Burnley man.

He is hard-working and industrious down the flank, but boasts that directness and touch of quality to pull something special out of nowhere.

His stunning strike against AFC Bournemouth perfectly outlined this, which marked the first of four goal contributions he has recorded this Premier League term.

During that match, in which the Toffees ran out comfortable 3-0 winners, the on-loan Leeds United man would also win nine of the 15 duels he competed in too.

With reports having emerged regarding his touted price tag, perhaps the club might have to take the hit and opt against signing Harrison permanently in order to tie down Dyche, who marks the far more important asset.

Yesterday should only affirm such a notion, as he masterminded yet another win on the road.
