DYCHE SACKED: Goodison Night of New Beginnings & Nepotism
A special two part episode for you all today, with the major news that Sean Dyche has been relieved of his managerial duties breaking just a few hours before Everton were set to kick off against Peterborough United in the third round of the FA Cup. Part 1: An X Space steered by the 3 hosts with some guest contributors. A reaction to the Dyche news and rumors circulating that David Moyes is likely to be named has his replacement. Thanks to Nick Weinstein, NorCalToffee, Mitch, and Lee W for joining us for an interesting discussion. We hope you'll enjoy! Part 2 (44:34): No chance The Blue Frontier could skip a post-match episode, even in a relatively turgid display in an FA Cup win over a League One side.  Hopefully it’s not the last FA Cup match under the lights at Goodison, but it if was, it was significant for a lot of reasons. From Sir Alex’s beloved son, to young players that actually got to see the pitch, this match had it’s moments, but not all of which occurred on the actual playing surface.  James, Shan, and Ryan get into all the back stories, from Baines/Coleman on the sideilne, to a change in formation, and to speculation about Broja’s injury and the potential impact to the side.  Thanks to our amazing listeners as well for providing tons of material to help drive the show.   LINKS: https://linktr.ee/thebluefrontier Production: James Boyman Â
