As soon as Sean Dyche took over as Everton manager, he instantly prohibited two things.

As soon as Sean Dyche took over as Everton manager, he instantly prohibited two things.

Sean Dyche, known for his firm approach, wasted no time asserting authority upon becoming Everton‘s manager. Since taking over a year ago, he’s guided the team through challenges, including avoiding relegation last season and dealing with a recent points deduction.

Dyche’s no-nonsense style was evident from the start, as he initiated rigorous fitness tests and enforced rules like no snoods or hats during training, along with mandatory shin pads.

Despite any perception of strictness, Dyche defends these measures as common sense

rather than undue severity, emphasizing the importance of training reflecting match conditions.

Moreover, he’s known for implementing a fine and forfeit system, a tradition he carries

from previous clubs.

Additionally, Everton forward Demarai Gray’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League

stirred controversy.

While reports suggested his departure, Everton reportedly declined transfer offers for him.

Gray, who hasn’t featured prominently lately, hinted at tensions with Dyche in an Instagram post,

suggesting a lack of respect from the manager.

Despite uncertainty surrounding his future, Gray’s departure from Everton seems less likely,

especially with the Saudi transfer window closing soon.
