‘Remarkable’: Simon Jordan claims Everton man is truly ‘elite’, many couldn’t do what he has done

Simon Jordan, former Crystal Palace chairman, has praised Everton manager Sean Dyche, calling him an “elite” manager who has achieved remarkable success despite challenging circumstances. Jordan noted that few managers could have accomplished what Dyche has done at Everton, given the limited resources and pressures from the 777 Partners’ takeover and looming threats of administration.

Dyche has navigated Everton to safety for the second consecutive season, a feat that Jordan believes would have been impossible without him. He pointed out that Dyche took over during a dire period in the 2022/23 season, with the team on a ten-game winless streak and sitting 19th in the table. Despite this, Dyche managed to turn things around and secure their place in the Premier League.

Jordan’s praise for Dyche comes as a welcome recognition of the manager’s hard work and dedication. Despite facing numerous challenges, Dyche has consistently delivered results, and his ability to adapt and innovate has been crucial to Everton’s survival. As Jordan noted, Dyche’s success is a testament to his exceptional management skills, and he deserves more acclaim for his achievements.
