The American said he would bring in a ‘different profile’ of player after a takeover and would ‘ask Dyche if he could coach this squad’.
Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, maintains that he is unconcerned about questions about his eligibility to work under potential new owner John Textor, should his bid be accepted.
The American businessman is in talks with Toffee majority stakeholder Farhad Moshiri regarding a possible purchase of the team. He now owns a 45 percent stake in Crystal Palace, which he must sell to move forward.
Goodison Park has not been too fond of Textor's decision to conduct an extensive interview with Sky Sports. In that interview, Textor discussed his ability to finish his takeover before a deadline of November 30 and brought up several questions he wanted to ask Dyche regarding his coaching background with players from Botafogo, another club in the American Eagle Football Group.

The PA news agency understands that discussing Dyche in such detail caused the manager a great deal of annoyance. As a result, the manager's scheduled press conference to discuss Saturday's trip to Aston Villa was rescheduled by fifteen minutes so that the team could respond to Textor's accusations.
In the last year of his contract, Dyche dismissed worries about his future.
The Toffees boss, whose side is at the bottom of the league with no points, stated, "If you are the prospective owner, you probably want to build a relationship or certainly know the manager's thoughts in any situation."
Although he isn't the owner right now, you would undoubtedly have that talk if he did take over. However, I believe it to be a typical procedure, thus it is irrelevant to me.
"I don't believe that any uncertainty exists. I stated quite clearly a month ago that the club's larger vision should be its primary concern, and it is still far from where it wants to be.
"My first thinking is that we want to win games, therefore my condition is secondary to the club's. It is about the staff and players working together to win games, not about me or the contract.

"I've heard it all since I've been here, and I've only been here for 20 months. The goal here shifts weekly (with) different stories: it's going to be sold, it's not going to be sold, you're here, you're not here.
"But at the minute it is a volatile situation on and off the pitch with talk of ownership change and on the pitch not getting the results we want to get."
According to Everton's statement, "there remains some work to be done to complete the transaction" and Textor's remarks represented his own opinion.
In an interview, Textor compared the chance to take over Everton as the new owner to being asked if he wanted to be president of the United States.
Additionally, he expressed his preference for the team to stay at Goodison Park instead of playing at a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock the next season.
"I'm going to bring him a very different profile of player from any corner of the world and ask him if he is interested," stated the American, who is the fifth bidder to be given a period of exclusivity by Moshiri. He clarified that he had no intention of firing manager Dyche. I would ask him to take over as coach of this team."
