He said: “I couldn’t wait [for Sunday] anyway because obviously we are on a good run of form – forget about all this. But I will be amazed if the Evertonians are not right on song. I’ll be very surprised if they are not, knowing what I do. I don’t know them yet, but I am learning about Everton and how they commit to the club and the cause. I’m getting deeper in my knowledge of that, and I’ll be very surprised if they are not right there with us. It doesn’t guarantee you’ll win but it gives you a better chance when they are right behind the players. ‘Come on then, let’s take it on again’.
“I sense that the underbelly, the fans with the depth of knowledge about Everton who remember the hard-fought years and what it has been built upon – not every Evertonian just knows moneyed years—remember when they had to fight and work to build a team and a mentality. I think they can sense it again. That’s what I think. I think they sense we are getting back to an earthiness, a determined Everton group of players who will really have a go.”
Dyche declined to comment on the implications of Everton’s punishment for Manchester City, who have been charged with 115 financial breaches by the Premier League, and deny any wrongdoing, and Chelsea, who are also under investigation by the football authorities.

This article from November 2023 discusses Everton’s response to a 10-point penalty imposed on them for breaching Premier League financial rules. Sean Dyche, the Everton manager, expresses confidence that the team’s season won’t be derailed by the penalty but warns the players against relying on a successful appeal to rescue them from relegation.
Dyche was shocked by the punishment and described it as disproportionate and unjust. However, he believes that the team’s resolve and positive mentality remain strong. The players reacted defiantly to the news, expressing determination to overcome the challenge.
Despite the pending appeal, Dyche urges the team to focus on the reality of their situation and the need to climb out of the relegation zone. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining momentum and commitment, regardless of the appeal’s outcome.
The article also mentions planned protests by Everton fans against the Premier League, indicating a collective siege mentality emerging among the club’s supporters and the team. Dyche sees this as an opportunity for the team to unite and overcome adversity.
