Sean Dyche avoids being pulled into Everton's off-field issues

This week saw the start of an independent commission into charges the club breached Financial Fair Play regulations by posting financial losses of almost £372million over the previous three years when the limit is £105m.

That is expected to be concluded next week, although a decision may not be made public until November, with suggestions if found guilty the club could face a fine or points deduction.

In addition, further concerns have been raised about the suitability of United States-based investment firm 777 Partners' suitability as prospective new owners after they agreed a deal to buy Farhad Moshiri's 94.1 per cent stake.

The New York Times reported 777 had failed to supply information to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) about their bid, although a company spokesman insisted it had submitted all the relevant documentation at the time it was requested to do so.

It is not the ideal build-up to a return to Premier League action with a Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Anfield but Dyche said he had become well-accustomed to filtering the vast amount of information which is swirling around the club.

"I know what I need to know and that's enough for me," said Dyche.

"I don't need to add in another level of someone's opinion. I know what I know from inside, it is often irrelevant what someone is saying from the outside because I know what's going on."

On the independent hearing, Dyche added: "I've stepped into the middle of it but it's certainly not something that involves me as manager, but sort of distantly does from the fact that I am manager.

"I am sure there are people talking about lots of different things. I'm just looking at what we can control and I certainly can't control that side of the club.

"I will wait and see the outcome, what it is and when the timelines are. I don't know any more than that."
