Chris Sutton has slammed a Liverpool fan live on air for the “ridiculous” suggestion that the Reds should buy Sean Dyche out of his Everton contract.

The Toffees boss has received plenty of praise for his work this season as he confirmed the Blues’ place in the Premier League next year with a workmanlike 1-0 win over Brentford at Goodison Park on Saturday (27 April).

Dyche has now led the Toffees on a three-game-winning run in the Premier League, which included a famous Merseyside derby win over Liverpool and one fan was quick to suggest the Everton boss should take over from Jurgen Klopp.

Speaking on Radio Five Live on Saturday (28 April) the supporter said: “Sean Dyche, I’ve always had respect for him as a manager and head coach at every team he’s been with and he puts his heart into it.

“Liverpool are thinking about getting the Feyenoord manager to replace Klopp. I personally think they should try and do the sneaky and offer a lot of money to Everton to let us have Sean Dyche.”

Sutton quickly hit back saying: “Come on, let’s not pile on. That is ridiculous.”

Will Sean Dyche leave Everton as Liverpool suggestion made to Chris Sutton?

While Dyche and the Toffees have enjoyed a very successful week at Goodison Park, it is unlikely that Liverpool will have suddenly decided that they should make an offer to bring the Englishman across Merseyside.

Even if there was any interest from the Reds, it would almost certainly be immediately rejected by the Toffees. From the outside looking in, it doesn’t exactly feel like a switch any party would be particularly keen on.

Dyche deserves plenty of credit for managing to keep the Toffees up this season as he has to contend with a number of off-the-field issues, whether that be point deductions or ownership struggles that have made life even harder for the Blues boss.

While that won’t have gone unnoticed by other teams, you cannot imagine that the Blues boss would be in much of a rush to get out of Goodison. Hopefully, this is just the start of a successful tenure that could last a long time yet.
