Everton opted against going for Burnley boss Sean Dyche, and put Sam Allardyce in charge instead.

Paul Merson has told The Debate, which was broadcast on Sky Sports on 19th April, that he cannot believe Everton did not appoint Sean Dyche.

Everton were heavily linked with the Burnley boss, after they parted company with Sam Allardyce.

However, when the Toffees failed to get Marco Silva, they ended up appointing Sam Allardyce instead.

Allardyce has failed to really inspire the Goodison Park crowd, during his time in charge and there are now doubts over whether the former England boss will remain in charge next season.

Allardyce could be let go by Everton at the end of the term, but there are now doubts over whether Dyche would join.

Dyche has recently signed a new deal at Turf Moor, and Merson believes Everton may have missed their chance now.

“I couldn’t believe he didn’t get the Everton job,” Merson said. “He’s just signed a five-year deal now, so I think he’s happy where he is.”

It does not appear that Dyche is on Everton’s radar, even if they do part company with Allardyce.

At the moment Paolo Fonseca is the bookies’ favourite to land the Everton job, if Allardyce leaves, with Silva also believed to be being considered again.
