“Everton Fans Deliver Brutal Verdict on Sean Dyche After Shocking Scene at Old Trafford”
Everton fans abandoning the away end before full-time during their 4-0 loss to Manchester United serves as a clear warning for manager Sean Dyche.
On December 1, Liverpool Echo journalist Joe Thomas reported that Dyche was greeted with “a sea of empty seats” when he attempted to applaud the away supporters at Old Trafford. Many Toffees fans left early after a disappointing second half, during which Dyche’s side conceded three goals just 20 seconds into the restart. The remaining fans expressed their frustration with boos at the final whistle.
The large exodus of fans, who chose not to endure more of the lackluster performance, signals a serious challenge for Dyche to win back their support.
Once a manager loses the backing of the fans, their future at the club is often in jeopardy, and Dyche is no exception after a disappointing defeat at Old Trafford. Traveling supporters usually have set travel plans, making their early departure even more telling. With Everton still scoreless after four games and Dyche opting to start Beto instead of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Manchester United took full advantage and easily netted four goals.
Support for Dyche is dwindling with each game, particularly as a new era looms with the impending takeover by Dan Friedkin. The fanbase, already frustrated, would likely not oppose the dismissal of Dyche once the takeover is complete.
In other Everton news, Dyche has shared details of his discussions with the club’s board regarding the summer interest in Jarrad Branthwaite.
