Dyche, the Everton manager, uncertain about contract future

Dyche has less than a year remaining on his current contract.

Before Saturday's defeat to Brighton, Dyche said: “I have not mentioned it to them, and they have not mentioned it to me. I am well aware of the club, I am well aware of the predicament, the last thing on my mind is my situation.

“There is a much bigger picture than my situation and that is the club. I have always maintained that.

“The team, the club and the current situation is calmer, I am sure we would all agree on that, but still not solved and still not sorted. That won’t be an issue for me at the moment, I will keep doing what I do and that is working hard.”
