Dyche's Meeting with Everton's New Prospective Owner Still Pending

Although the Toffees have refuted claims of a finalized agreement, Dyche was questioned about the situation during his Friday press conference.

Dyche responded: “Regarding the comments, if you’re a prospective owner and you are going to comment, you’re probably going to ask certain questions. That’s the way it goes – finding out what you’re prospectively going to buy or getting a feel or giving a feel as the case may be. 

“I haven’t had the chance (to speak to John Textor). I don’t think the deal is to that position. Like I say, if you’re a prospective owner of a club, you probably would want to build a relationship, or certainly know the manager's thoughts in any situation. 

“I don’t think that’s necessarily about me and Everton Football Club. He isn’t the current owner, obviously, but if he did take it over then I’m sure he’d have that conversation. But I think that’s standard practice.”
