Gary Lineker worries Everton decision to sack Sean Dyche is a ‘gamble’

Lineker, speaking to Micah Richards and Alan Shearer on The Rest ✱Is Football, described🔥 Everton’s decision as a “gamble”.

Lineker claimed that Dyche seemed like he would’ve done enou🐓gh to keep the Toffees up, even if the football was not easy on the ey🎶e.

And while there may be a new manager 🥂bounce, Lineker warned that, should this f🌠ail to occur, Everton may find themselves in a worse position.

“It🧸’s a gamble though, this, as you said, isn’t it,”𒅌 Lineker said to Richards.

“I think we’ve said, all three of usꦛ when we do our predictions, we all said that 🐼Everton will be okay, they’ll stay up because – not in spite of, because – of Sean Dyche.

“His football is not necessarily particularly pleasing in on the eye, I think a lot of Everton fans have found it difficult, they’ve been a toughꦛ watch the last few weeks, hardly scoring any goals.

“But the one thing I’ll reiterate is that we all thought🐲 that, even despite that lack of form, they managed 🎐to get draws against some of the big teams.

“And (now) you’re bringing in someone new, and that might work, there mi🦂ght be a bounce.

“But if it doesn’t, ﷺyou might end up in a situation where you’re slightly more likely to go down then perhaps you wouldไ have been under your previous manager.”

On Thursday, TBR Football revealed that David Moyes is on c💫ourse to return to Goodiso⛄n Park as manager.

Talks are ongoing in person on Friday and ✃Everton hope to finalise a deal with Moyes in the next 24 hours, according to TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.

The Friedkin Group were initially looking at a short-term deal, but talks have taken place and TBR Football ꦅhas been told that an 18-month term is now being discussed.
