Everton manager Sean Dyche is hoping positive takeover developments will finally bring “stability” to the club after a turbulent few years. Earlier this week, it was announced that The Friedkin Group had agreed a deal to purchase a majority stake in Everton.

Dyche believes the move will provide a timely lift for Everton, who have collected just one point from their opening five Premier League matches this season

Sean Dyche has launched an impassioned plea for the club’s prospective new owners not to dump him after their takeover saying he is desperate to lead Everton into their new stadium.
