Michael Keane: Everton players ‘need to take responsibility’ for Sean Dyche exit Everton defender Michael Keane believes the players have to take some responsibility for Sean Dyche’s sacking.
The former Burnley boss was dismissed by Everton just hours before their 2-0 FA Cup third round victory at home to Peterborough after agreeing a pay-off with new owners The Friedkin Group having accepted a few days ago he had reached the end of the line with a side who have won just three Premier League matches all season.
But not all the blame can be placed at the door of Dyche, who safely negotiated two relegation battles during his two years in charge, as a poor squad has massively underperformed, and Keane accepted that.
“Any time you lose a manager it’s really disappointing and sad,” said Keane.
I don’t think we as players have been good enough as a collective and shown the quality we’ve got so it’s not been a great day.
