Sean Dyche has said he doesn't blame Everton's new owners if they are talking to other managers as part of a 'succession plan'. New Blues supremo Dan Friedkin is understood to be considering Dyche's future after Saturday's defeat at Bournemouth extended Everton's winless run to five matches and left them only a point above the relegation zone.

With Graham Potter heading the bookmakers list of potential replacements, Dyche was surprisingly sanguine about his situation on Tuesday night. 'If you own a business of this size, succession planning should surely be part of the diligence,' said the under-fire manager. 'I've got no problem with that at all. It should be ongoing at every club - what we'd regard as normal business life outside of football.

'With this amount of money and turnover, that is an absolutely valid thing to be doing. Nothing makes me feel weird about that at all. 'We've got to win games. We haven't won enough this season and it comes down to me, without any shadow of a doubt.'. Sean Dyche said he doesn't blame Everton's new owners if they are talking to other managers.
