Ivor: Sean Dyche and his team have done a good job under the most difficult circumstances. As fans, we do not know what happened behind the scenes, but new owners want results as soon as possible so a big name like Jose Mourinho is on the cards, or a David Moyes comeback could be the answer (he should never have left).

Everton kicked off a new era hours after their manager Sean Dyche was fired with a 2-0 FA Cup third-round victory over League One Peterborough United on Thursday thanks to goals from Beto and Iliman Ndiaye.

Sean Dyche has been sacked as manager of Everton, the club confirmed on Thursday. Dyche took over from Frank Lampard in 2023. Although Dyche steered Everton from relegation in back-to-back seasons amid financial strife, a combination of poor form and an uninspiring style of football has seen the Merseyside outfit act.
