Graham Potter has shown what you can do with a tight budget but a good set up.
Brighton might have a tight budget on the Everton scale but they're still losing hundreds of millions of pounds. It's an unknown at the moment how Dyche would do with a decent budget, although there were some decent signs before we cut transfer spending, but he's definitely a manager who can inspire some positivity.

A thoroughly decent goal, albeit against 10 men. Hence why we weren't exactly pressing you with much commitment there (that and the fact we were, and remian, quite shit). Ashley Williams in defence * shudders *.
Dyche is a perfectly decent manager, as is Sam Allardyce and if avoiding relegation and general stablity is your goal they are fine. Is he better than Lampard? For sure. Do I want him to replace Lampard? Of course not. If we're shipping out lampard we want someone to come in a build a bit of positivity and play nice football. Graham Potter has shown what you can do with a tight budget but a good set up. And I'm a fan of people like Marsch and Postecoglu who've built good teams in other leagues.
You can essentially say "if everton had/hadn't" to almost every decision we've made over the past 8 years. So while you're not wrong, there's a ream of other mistakes we made which put us in the position where not appointing Dyche at some unspecfied time was a bad call. And TBH it's entirely possible that we'd be including 'Everton appointing Dyche to fan's ire' in the 'mistakes everton made' category right at this point in time if it had happened. That's how much of a calamity club we are.
