The paper reported via their website on 13 September that Goodison directors believe the perception of their manager is “divorced from the reality” after major pressure has grown around his job in the wake of the poor start to the season.
The club aren’t looking to sack Dyche after heavy defeats to Brighton and Tottenham, before a shocking late collapse at home to Bournemouth prior to the international break, although they can’t give him a contract extension either.
They reportedly believe he deserves congratulation for ensuring Premier League safety twice rather than the flak coming his way, while his role in reducing the wage bill should be praised, and want to avoid a “knee-jerk response” to poor results.

The Red Bull claim might make fans fear those at the top of the club don’t know what they are talking about.
RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg and company are supposed to have a reputation for aggressive attacking football and developing emerging talents, which sounds like the polar opposite of how most would describe Dyche’s style.
