Sean Dyche: The Man Behind Everton's Survival Mentality

The NEW Everton manager Sean Dyche returns to High Performance.
Is he ready to manage again? We find out 💥
Here’s what you can expect 👇
It’s been almost three years since Jake and Damian first sat down with Sean Dyche.
A lot has changed since that initial conversation.
Sean left Burney after a decade of managing the team and he is now expected to be appointed the new Everton manager.
In this episode, Sean seeks to challenge the myths told about him.
They delve deep into his managing style, how he individually assesses players and changes training accordingly, to give them the best chance of being successful.
They discuss how to focus on the opinions that matter, connecting with players as individuals and focusing on ‘positive realities’.
We ask Sean if he’s ready manage again? And what will he do differently?

Massive Burnley fan. Will never forget this man. Named a pub after him for a reason. Handled the Austin situation after we lost Eddie Howe and bought in a new system that honestly didn’t look like it would work back in 2012 and here we are. A club that had nothing but a pot to piss in is now a wealthy established football club. Thank you Sean from the bottom of my heart. Best of luck at Goodison legend.

[@81chipper89]

@@papashango8577 I'm from Burnley and know plenty who thought it was time for him to go. It was tough for them to admit it because of what he did for them, but they knew it was time. It happens to almost everyone, look at Clough and Wenger. But Ferguson is the exception in modern times.

[@hovis1st]

@@81chipper89 Yeah that was pretty much what i found out as well. My time as a football fan had been synonymous with Dyche at Burnley so i was gutted when he went, but my Dad wasn't even remotely concerned. He thought it was time. I don't think you'd find a single Burnley fan who'd disparage what Dyche has done for the Club and the Town but plenty of us were bored of the football, of getting battered week in week out. Was just the time to part ways.

I like Sean Dyche a lot, you know where you are with him and I'm guessing he's like this with his players, he's a man of true grit and integrity and thats a fantastic character trait to have in the industry. His football might not be pretty, it's not super technical like my club but what he does, he does it well...... and he proved that last Saturday when they beat us 1-0. I hope Everton buy into him and support him as I reckon he'll keep them up. Good luck Sean and good luck Everton.

He gets people to buy into his way of managing and gets players to put their body on the line for the club every game. Fan's of any club will respect players who play for the badge and are willing to do what it takes to help the club survive or push on. He sums up modern footy so well with the terms like ' philosophy ' and ' entertaining ' because these days it's more about how it looks and playing the right way etc but like he said " It's only entertaining when you're winning "

[@jack8988]

Wow what a listen! I had a perception on Dyche before this but I was surprised he's such an intelligent man! Great manager all the best

[@mariusstrmglendrange2411]

Fantastic man god bless you sir from a LFC fan

[@michaelc.1710]

He’s a great manager. He’s not the best tactician or a great technical coach but he gets people and he’s a leader. You could put him in charge of your local supermarket, factory or chippy and he’d get results.

[@WhereIsTheIntruder]

He's both a great tactician and great technical coach. You don't get to do what he accomplished at Burnley with leadership alone, whatever the fuck that means.

[@griff8578]

What tactics and technical aspects of his do you disagree with? You obviously have a view because you said it. What of his specifically are you referring to?

[@michaelc.1710]

@@griff8578 It’s not anything I disagree with just an observation having watched his team for 9 years. I also didn’t say he was a bad coach. On the tactics comment. I don’t recall, in 9 years, him once making a tactical change in a game that turned the flow of the match. In fact, he rarely made subs at all. It was like for like replacements often beyond the 85 minute mark. He occasionally switched from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1-1 or threw on another big lad but that’s it. On the technical coaching, I’m more trying to describe his style of management and maybe technical is the wrong word. He’s not a coach like who almost sees himself as a conductor micromanaging player’s positioning and movement. In fact I don’t think he did a lot of hands on coaching on the training ground, his staff handled that. He set the culture, standards and strategy and was a leader (Which is what I was getting at with the he could manage in any sector comment). He’s more like Alex Ferguson than he is Pep Guardiola. He’s said before that his managerial heroes were Ferguson and Clough. Edit - he could probably do with taking a leaf out of Ferguson’s book and adding a modern technical coach to his set up like AF did with Carlos Queiroz (and replace Steve Stone in the process, who generated loads rumours about poor conduct and bullying behaviour at Burnley)

[@WhereIsTheIntruder]

@@michaelc.1710 if you had truly seen his side for 9 years you would've seen how many little adjustements he did match to match, half to half, and how well he understands tactics. You're also impliying Ferguson didn't know tactics, which is such a ludicrous comment I really can't take you seriously anymore

[@michaelc.1710]

@@WhereIsTheIntruder I don’t know how you’re coming to the conclusions you’re coming to reading my posts?! I’ve said Dyche is a great manager. I’ve even compared him to Ferguson, probably the most successful manager of all time! On another video I’ve said I think he can get Everton into the top 6. I am NOT slagging him off. My OP was intended as a compliment while recognising the common criticisms of him. He did an unbelievable job here and I’m really grateful for everything he did. I’m not saying he’s bad at those things, I’m saying they’re not necessarily his strengths in comparison to other managers.

I always rate him as one of my top 5 managers. The way he carried Burnley in his shoulders and even carried them to europe, staying in the top league for more than half the decade with one of the worst invesments in transfers in the league is definitely something other elite managers like klopp or pep cant do.

[@donmontague4107]

Terrific! Class video. Thanks actually. Much interest by the presenter in the end of his time at Burnley in his questioning, but I suppose that's the time they were in. So many positives at that gorgeous club :) I really like Sean, and we need more English managers and players. One thing I will say where he probably shouldn't get the credit: In Burnley, he had the best defender that I have ever seen in my life. That defender was the captain, Ben Mee. The most underrated defender, 'slept on', all that. I've seen some of the best CBs in the world from the early 90s onwards, and he was better than every single one of them. With such a reliance on elite defenders, that must have been no small factor in Burnley's success. In fact, it was the season that Ben Mee was injured that they dropped down and got relegated. So Dyche, excellent manager, love almost everything I see. But he's never, to my knowledge, come out and said "We do need to give Ben Mee a Lot of credit here". That's the bit that I think Sean keeps a bit quiet.

[@johnmccarthy115]

Just found the channel. Excellent chat guys. Always liked SD, calls a spade a spade. Comes across really well. Toffees got a good un as long as the EVs board work with him 👍

[@dmayres]

Southampton fan here. It baffles me that we didn't approach Sean for the manager role back in November. He was clearly the best candidate available, he'd have had the World Cup as a 'pre-season' with 95% of the squad. Come January, he could have brought in his players. I don't mind our squad, they've backed Jones. But it's a young squad without many leaders, with Dyche in charge I'd be feeling so much more confident. A missed opportunity.
