Sean Dyche did a great job as the Everton manager despite having restrictions, according to Chris Sutton.

The pundit, who was quick to take a swipe at the Toffees when they announced their decision to sack Dyche on Thursday (9 January), has provided his thoughts on the Englishman’s exit again.

Having been impressed by Dyche’s work at Goodison Park, Sutton admitted that he has “massive sympathy” for the 53-year-old.

“I’ve got to say I’ve got massive sympathy for Sean Dyche. I think he did a good job over the piece”, Sutton said on BBC Radio 5‘s 606 Football Phone In (11 January, 7:45 pm).

Everton right to move on from Sean Dyche, Chris Sutton sympathy understandable

Sutton’s sympathy towards Dyche is understandable as he managed to keep Everton in the Premier League despite several hardships, including an eight-point deduction last season.

However, the Merseyside-based club cannot be blamed for parting ways with the former Burnley boss now as they are placed 16th in the Premier League, sitting just one point above the relegation zone, albeit with a game in hand.

Furthermore, Dyche himself told The Friedkin Group he had taken the Toffees as far as he could, with his attitude in the weeks leading up to his sack appearing concerning [BBC].

Therefore, the new owners made the right decision by relieving Dyche of his duties and bringing David Moyes back to the club in what will be their final lap at Goodison Park.

Dyche will probably take some time to put the disappointment behind him, while Moyes will look to steer the Blues clear of the relegation zone.
