Everton return to Premier League action on Sunday as they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Whilst there’s little expectation of a win, it’s imperative Everton put in a good performance as they’re starting to slip towards the relegation zone.

Just two points separate them and 18th-placed Ipswich Town, so they could find themselves in the bottom three with a defeat.

Sean Dyche is already under major pressure and it’s been reported that the Friedkin Group have a three-man shortlist to replace him.

Sergio Conceicao is believed to be Everton’s first-choice target, though, it’s now been revealed why the club are reluctant to sack Dyche.

Sacking Sean Dyche could force Everton to sell in January

According to i News, whilst Everton are confident of complying with FFP, sacking Dyche could put them at risk of breaching once again.

It’s understood that the cost of redundancy payments could force Everton to sell in January in order to ensure they’re compliant.

The Toffees remain in a difficult position PSR-wise, so it appears sacking Dyche is a last resort option at this stage.

Certainly, if they were to dismiss him, it’d put a massive limit on their spending this summer.

That said, perhaps it’s better to wait until the summer before making a change in the dugout.

Everton’s initial plan was to change manager in the summer

Everton News exclusively reported that the Friedkin Group have accepted they will have to wait until the summer to change manager.

They recognise that finding Dyche’s long-term successor mid-season will be difficult and at present, the job isn’t as attractive as it could be in six months’ time.

So, by all accounts, the Everton boss is set to remain in post, though, he must change his pragmatic ways to get fans back on board.
