Everton’s Henry Winter is left wondering if David Moyes would be interested in returning, given that a takeover appears imminent.
Following the Blues’ dismal start to the season, supporters have put pressure on Sean Dyche, with many speculating that Moyes would be the ideal successor at Goodison Park.
Winter, a journalist and talkSPORT anchor, is dubious if the Scotsman would be eager to return to Merseyside, given that potential new owners like Dan Friedkin or John Textor might not be the first to choose him.
“Would any potential successor to Dyche, even someone who knows and loves the club like David Moyes, step into the breach now when he might not be the choice of the new owner?” the writer said in his Substack column on Friday, September 20. “At the moment, questions are plaguing Everton. Dyche must come up with some solutions at the King Power.
David Moyes to make Goodison Park return amid Everton sack update?
It is easy to suggest that Moyes would be keen to save the day at Goodison Park because of his previous work on Merseyside, but things are rarely that straightforward in the world of football.
The Scotsman doesn’t appear to be in any rush to return to management having left West Ham at the end of last season and while the right offer would likely tempt him back into the dugout, this job may not be the right one.
Negotiations are on for Textor to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s majority interest in the Toffees [Alan Myers, September 19]. The billionaire American has expressed interest in bringing in a new coach at Goodison in the past.
On the face of it, it seems unlikely that Moyes would be the sort of manager Textor would be looking for to take that next step at Everton which would mean his position would be immediately at risk if and when the takeover was completed.
Maybe if a short-term deal could be agreed in the event of Dyche being sacked, the former Manchester United man could be tempted into the dugout, but it seems unlikely at this stage.
