He hadn't been interviewed as of Friday. BFS had.

Are you sure about that? If they've been talking to his agent it's almost as good as an interview.

You tell me Tall Paul or go and ask your mate.
If I was employing someone when my club was on its knees and a pot full of sky cash resting on it I'd want to see the whites of his eyes personally and know how he planned to get em out of the brown stuff in significant detail.

There’s a difference between talking to an agent and talking to the man himself.
The agent can’t get across the managers vision so yes, we are sure Dyche hasn’t been interviewed officially.

Don't be so naive. The people in charge at Everton will have done their due diligence and talked to the people they need to talk to before offering the job to anyone.

Are we absolutely sure that Everton haven't met Dyche personally, unofficially, perhaps with Burnley's permission?
Burnley didn't approach anyone officially for permission to talk anyone employed when Dyche got the job, but are we absolutely sure we didn't interview anyone who currently had a job?

You'd trust a football agent who might be trying to get the best out of the deal as possible?
I think you might have to go back to your ITK mate on Everton and check on this 3.5 year contract as it doesn't really stack up. It must just be you and your mate who know about this 3.5 year as Dyche's haven't changed much, nor have BFS's odds.

Talking to an agent is apparently the same thing as an interview according to you, when actually it isnt.
For Dyche to pitch himself for the job would require a full blown interview and we all know it would be leaked out that it’s happened.

In fairness clubs in real trouble tend to go for managers who have a proven track record of getting clubs out of said trouble, even if they actually think long term he may not be their ideal appointment. BFS would fit that bill (and he isn't working) Warnock or Pulis have also performed well in those scenarios before, but Everton going for SD would be a very serious gamble for both parties and when you think about what happened at Swansea last season for example, when they changed mangers only to find they needed to change again, it makes you think Everton might be looking way past Sean.

Look, I'm just letting people know what I've heard from someone I believe to be a very good source.

Do you really think it would be made public that they're interviewing SD unless and until they knew that they were ready to offer him the job? Of course it wouldn't because, among other reasons, if he didn't get the job his position as Burnley manager would become pretty much untenable.

Sam's issue I would expect is he is looking for a 3.5 year deal yet they probably only want him until the Summer and replace with a European manager again, Everton probably don't want to have to pay him off, or offer a stay up contract £3 mill bonus and we'll think about it.

I don't think Everton are that close to making an appointment. They will have 2 weeks before they play again.
As Dark Cloud says, not sure Dyche has the credentials or track record for what Everton need at the moment.

They wouldn’t voluntarily make it public, but if you can state that he’s been offered a contract of 3.5yrs, why wouldn’t it leak out if they’d interviewed him?
Both bits of information would leave his position untenable if he didn’t take the job.

Currently everyone in football, including every person on this board (I would respectfully suggest) believes there isn't a cat in hell's chance Everton will remain in trouble or be anywhere near the bottom 3 come May whatever happens, BUT what if we're all wrong and the unthinkable happens and they go down. It HAS happened before to other "massive" clubs who simply can't arrest a sudden downward spiral and then make a series of poor decisions, panic players buys and managerial appointments. It IS possible.

Nixon reporting this morning that Silva is their number one target and they are willing to wait until the summer with BFS asked to manage them until the end of the season. Also states that Dyche is very wary of the situation at Everton or words to that effect.
Let’s be honest, everyone is just guessing!

Just read in print what he said in a recent interview and to me, it comes across that he does want the Everton job, but he's not been approached and so can't do anything. So yeah, if Everton come calling, I think he'll accept it. But it seems he's not their first choice.

FFS, Betfair EXchange and is the same site as Betfair, if you look on Oddschecker you see two Betfair, Betfair Exchange is where fans bet against other fans too phrase one way.

What may be most relevant is amount of money staked which is only visible on betfair.
£72k has been staked, £31 k on SD, £16k on Bfs and £11k on the other fat one
Bits and pieces on the rest
Btw Dyche now fav on beffair

The fact SD not ruled out Everton will be because he's not stupid and is clearly angling for more money for himself and for the transfer budget in January.
He's going to use this interest to get what he wants, he's hardly going to come out and say he's happy to stay until he's got it.
