Everton manager Sean Dyche is looking for a lengthy spell of stability moving forward. In recent years, the Toffees have endured some fairly serious setbacks, both on the pitch and off. Away from the field, financial issues have forced owner Farhad Moshiri to put the club up for sale.

“What I mean is this kind of, ‘Ah look we are on to something,’ and it’s growing, growing, growing. And then there’s not like, ‘OK, OK, there’s going to be a few hiccups.’ It’s like, ‘Oh, I told you, rubbish!’ Boom. Straight back down to earth. That is…
