Sean Dyche has said he doesn't blame Everton's new owners if they are talking to other managers as part of a 'succession plan'.
New Blues supremo Dan Friedkin is understood to be considering Dyche's future after Saturday's defeat at Bournemouth extended Everton's winless run to five matches and left them only a point above the relegation zone.
With Graham Potter heading the bookmakers list of potential replacements, Dyche was surprisingly sanguine about his situation on Tuesday night.
'If you own a business of this size, succession planning should surely be part of the diligence,' said the under-fire manager.
