The pressure is really starting to mount on Sean Dyche.
Everton are winless in their last four and have failed to score in each of their last three games, so fans are starting to grow tired of the pragmatic football on display.
Everton were held to another goalless draw against Brentford on the weekend as they failed to create many chances of note.
Everton fans have long called for Dyche to be sacked and now it seems the cogs are starting to turn in the background, as the soon-to-be owners draw up a list of candidates to replace him.
With that said, it’s just come to light who the Friedkin Group’s number-one target is and the two other managers on their radar.

Everton make Sergio Conceicao number one target to replace Sean Dyche
According to TEAMtalk, the Friedkin Group have made former Porto manager Sergio Conceicao their number one target to succeed Dyche.
It’s claimed that once the takeover is complete, Dyche’s position could come under severe threat and Conceicao has been identified as the ideal man to take charge of the new era at Goodison Park.

The Portuguese head coach enjoyed a successful seven-year stint with Porto, managing 368 games whilst averaging 2.29 points per game.
That record saw him lift three league titles and a multitude of domestic cups, too, so quite clearly his potential arrival on Merseyside would represent a major coup.
The report further claims that it may be difficult to convince Conceicao to join at this stage of the season unless assurances are made ahead of the January transfer window.
Edin Terzic and Graham Potter also considered
Edin Terzic, who left Borussia Dortmund in the summer after leading them to a Champions Legaue final, is also being considered as a candidate.
The Friedkin Group considered appointing Terzic at Roma before Claudio Ranieri took the gig, so clearly he’s really admired by the ownership.
Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter is also on the shortlist, though, it remains to be seen if he would be willing to take the job.
Potter recently rejected the Leicester this week.
