Dyche says he has backing of new Everton owners

Everton manager Sean Dyche says he has the backing of the club's new owners and is not under any extra pressure as he enters the final six months of his contract.

The US-based Friedkin Group completed their takeover of the Premier League club on Thursday, ending a turbulent period at Goodison Park under the control of British-Iranian businessman Farhad Moshiri.

Dyche said little had changed in terms of his position or Everton's plans for the January transfer window as they try to avoid being dragged into yet another battle against relegation in a bid to preserve their 70-year stay in the English top flight.

"Proving yourself as a manager is ongoing, it is a weekly or bi-weekly event," said Dyche, who has had his first meeting with new executive chairman Marc Watts ahead of Sunday's visit of second-placed Chelsea.

"Every game will be another opinion, good, bad or indifferent, so it's no different to me.

"The bigger picture is what I've been interested in. There has been a lot to manage and a lot to do and there still is.

"I'm not worried about my situation, it's more about trying my best to keep correcting the ongoing situation.

"(Watts) made it clear, other than the obvious challenge of all managers of winning games, they are fully supportive of me, the staff and the team."

The Liverpool club will not have a huge amount to spend in the upcoming transfer window.

"There are ongoing challenges to correct things moving forward for the bigger future. January will be dominated by PSR (profitability and sustainability rules) from the years gone by," Dyche said.

"At the moment, it's not going to be a load of money to spend."
