New Everton owners set to force staff to re-apply for jobs with Sean Dyche’s position to be reviewed
EVERTON’S incoming new owners will shock several backroom staff by making them re-apply for their jobs.
Boss Sean Dyche’s deal is up next year and will be reviewed when the American Friedkin Group comes in.

Director Kevin Thelwell and leading scouts are also set to be put through the process.
It comes weeks after a lengthy takeover saga moved a huge step closer to resolution.
US billionaire Dan Friedkin finally agreed in September to buy the club.
Just two months earlier his company’s proposed £800million deal appeared to fall apart amid concerns over Everton‘s debt to Miami-based investment firm 777.
However, The TFG and outgoing club owner Farhad Moshiri then sped up talks before reaching an apparent agreement.
Friedkin is set to get Moshiri‘s 94.1 per cent stake in the club.
The arrangement was subject to approval from the Premier League, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Football Association.
A TFG spokesman said at the time: “We look forward to providing stability to the club, and sharing our vision for its future, including the completion of the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.”

That £760m new stadium remains on course to be opened next year.
The massive waterfront site has already transformed the surrounding area.
A new bridge is being built to the north for access to the west wharf.
But one historic part will be preserved – dock walls on the southern edge, including an engraved stone, dating back to its opening in 1848.
