New Everton owner 'fully supportive' of Dyche
Sean Dyche has said the new Everton owner is behind him as manager ahead of their Premier League match against Chelsea.
Dyche revealed that he had met with new executive chairman Marc Watts, and it had gone positively.
"It was about the format moving forward. They are fully supportive of me, the staff and the team going forward. They were asking questions about what I have learnt in my time and the overall feel of the club," he said.
In midweek, it was announced that the club had officially changed hands, with Farhad Moshiri passing on responsibility for the club to the Friedkin Group, which also owns Serie A club Roma.
Dyche is hoping the change brings more stability and positivity to the club, which is currently 16th in the Premier League and three points above the relegation zone.
"It is not an immediate change, but it would be good if it is a little bit more stable than it has been since I got here. The possible change of owners is now sorted. I hope it [the takeover] brings a positive mood to the team," he said.
"There's only so much that can be done with immediacy, which they know. The immediate [situation] in January is going to be dominated by the PSR [Profit and Sustainability Rules] position of years gone by of what the club had been doing."
