Simon Jordan believes Everton will avoid relegation thanks to Sean Dyche, despite recent question marks over his impact at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
The Toffees climbed up to 15th place in the table thanks to a 1-0 win over Brentford at Goodison Park (11 March), his third win in seven games since becoming manager of the club.<\/p>\n
And speaking live on talkSPORT<\/em>\u00a0on 14 March, Jordan shared his verdict on the current relegation battle and admitted that he feels Dyche has the toolkit to get the team out of trouble despite a lack of goals in the team.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels like the bottom three are beginning to become the bottom three,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut there\u2019s such a juxtapose week on week.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Southampton are gone. And it\u2019s looking more like, and I made a case for Leeds United but they\u2019re not recovering.<\/p>\n \u201cI like Javi Gracia, I think he\u2019s a decent manager. I think he can consider himself slightly unlucky at Watford but then there are a list of managers who can consider themselves unlucky at Watford.<\/p>\n \u201cI look at that and I say I don\u2019t think Crystal Palace will get sucked back into it. I think Wolves with Lopetegui, he\u2019s just too good a manager. I think Dyche has always been maintained by most of us that he\u2019ll get Everton out of trouble. Moyes I still maintain has enough about him, although I don\u2019t like David\u2019s constant looking back at what they\u2019ve done previously.<\/p>\n \u201cSo then you\u2019re left with Brendan (Rodgers) at Leicester, with the bottom three.<\/p>\n \u201cThe challenge is that nobody is adrift. Nobody is out of consideration and what you\u2019ve got is a race to the bottom, literally.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou look at Sean Dyche and it was only four or five days ago that people said, \u2018hang on, is the Dyche effect wearing off? They can\u2019t score goals\u2019, then they go and beat Brentford \u2013 a form side.<\/p>\n \u201cI think with Dyche and Everton, Dyche has just got the toolkit. He knows what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019ll find a way to even get the handbag carrier (Dominic Calvert-Lewin) back on.\u201d<\/p>\n One thing that Everton have got to their advantage that a lot of the other teams down at the bottom don\u2019t have is Premier League experience in their manager\u2019s office.<\/p>\n Dyche kept Burnley up in the Premier League against the odds for years before he was sacked last season with them in a battle, and they eventually went down despite that decision.<\/p>\n But the teams around all have a lot of novice managers in this scenario, with Gary O\u2019Neill and Ruben Selles in their first managerial jobs while Gracia has only been in the Premier League for one season before.<\/p>\n In the playing squad there is plenty of Premier League experience too and some that have experienced relegation before, so they will be keen not to suffer the same fate a second time.<\/p>\n Things are looking up for Everton with the fans behind the team and manager once again and the form looking good, but with a very tough run of games to come things could change quickly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
