Everton may miss out on recruiting Sean Dyche as their new manager due to the club being ‘a bit of a mess’, according to ex-Burnley midfielder Joey Barton.
The Toffees are yet to replace Ronald Koeman, who was sacked two weeks ago, and Clarets boss Dyche is a frontrunner for the job.
But, with The Times reporting a two-part BBC Panorama programme about the club’s ownership is set to air, Barton believes he may be unwilling to put himself in a difficult situation and choose to sit tight instead.
“Everton are a club in a bit of a mess at this moment in time,” he said on Matchday Live.
