Joey Barton has predicted the reasons as to why Sean Dyche will reject the Everton managerial position.
Everton have been poor in the Premier League so far this season and are currently languishing in the relegation zone.
They have also already been knocked out of the Europa League despite spending heavily during the summer and being expected to challenge for a place in the top four.
Dyche has done an impressive job in charge of Burnley during the past five years and is viewed as a favorite for the vacant managerial position. Barton has however predicted that he could end up rejecting the opportunity to manage the club.
Dyche said: “Everton are a club in a bit of a mess at this moment in time. There is going to be a BBC Panorama programme on Sunday and Monday night which is about something which has gone on in the background of the club, in terms of who owns it.
“I think if Everton can get Sean Dyche through the door they’ve done incredibly well. He’s a modern day version of what David Moyes did to them. He would be a fantastic appointment for Everton.
“The difficulty lies, knowing the man as I do, in the off the pitch stuff could spook him and maybe make him sit tight and wait for a different opportunity.”
