According to Sean Dyche, Everton’s task for the upcoming season will be to “safeguard” its Premier League standing.
The Blues manager expects a challenging summer as the team tries to prepare for another top flight season while navigating a great deal of uncertainty off the field. According to Dyche, it’s “quite likely” that some of his players will be traded.
In the final game of the season at Goodison Park, Everton defeated the opposition 1-0 thanks to a goal by Abdoulaye Doucoure. With the victory over Sheffield United, who had already been relegated, the team concluded another difficult year with five straight home wins. Even after an additional eight points were subtracted, Dyche’s team still had 40 points, and he made it apparent that the players and the crowd should have a lap of honor following the final whistle—the first since 2019.
In his post-match news conference, Dyche made it plain that this did not mean the hard times were over for a club that has experienced a rough few years. This was also the first time in three seasons that Everton did not need to win their last home game to stay in the Premier League. The ownership dispute will not end, and this summer Everton will try to offload players in order to comply with league spending caps and maintain the club’s overall financial health.
“The standard for next season is making sure we safeguard this club in the Premier League,” Dyche responded when asked if the recent good form “set the bar” for next year. Not much has changed. There are going to be more difficulties ahead. I’ve made an effort to be truthful with you and the fans.
“It won’t be resolved right away. It will require time and be a building process. From when I first arrived to the present, I believe there has been progress. Undoubtedly, the team, the players, and the mindset have all improved. To return it to where Everton believes it to be, however, is a long way off.
I’m attempting to bridge the gap between the two and bring the story together so that viewers can acknowledge that, “Well, we sort of grasp where we are at,” since perceptions are frequently larger than the actual facts. I’m working toward it, but there are still obstacles to overcome. By obstacles, I don’t only mean financial ones; I also mean balancing the club’s operations, the playing side of things, and the salary structure. There are still obstacles to overcome.
