Everton have apparently decided whether or not to employ Jose Mourinho after sacking Sean Dyche hours before their third-round FA Cup match. What happened? Everton made the decision to fire former Burnley manager Dyche on Thursday afternoon, with an FA Cup match against Peterborough United just hours away.
