Dyche faces immense challenges at Everton - Oaten

The Toffees are currently struggling at the bottom of the Premier League standings, having yet to secure a single point after losing all four of their games. They have conceded a total of 13 goals, resulting in a significant goal difference of -9.

Thelwell spoke on his relationship with the struggling manager and the work that is constantly going on in the background. 

"Sean and I work very closely together, our offices are a metre apart so we are talking regularly and consistently about what things we can do, how we can use the resources we have available to try and make things better going forwards," he said. 

"Sean has a responsibility for the preparation and performance of the team and fundamentally the results. My responsibility is the support services that sit around that. It is about us talking through some of the performance problems we have got." 

He also spoke on how tough the situation is for Dyche considering the club are going through issues financially and with their current ownership. 

"I can promise everybody that there is no stone being left unturned in terms of trying to rectify our current situation. He (Dyche) is working under very difficult circumstances. 

"We still have ownership and financial situations to resolve so that makes it very difficult for a manager when we want to take that next step."
