Koeman must be under enormous pressure now but I'm not convinced they'll sack him just yet. He does have excuses, injuries, not being able to replace Lukaku, the impossibility of bedding in new players while jetting all over Europe in the Europa League, and he was the club's well researched choice, if they sack him now, they're admitting their own error in appointing him.
But football is unforgiving, all the above might not be enough to buy him time, but if he does go I doubt Everton will give Sean more than a passing glance. Moshiri has big plans for the club, a new ground, Champions League football and he has money to spend. His next manager will be like Koeman, vastly experienced on the world stage, he won't be in the least bit interested in a gravel voiced ex-Chesterfield defender, whatever his record at little old Burnley. We've nothing to worry about.

Dyche will get linked with vacancies while the Clarets are in the Premier League. That's the nature of clueless club owners without a succession plan and journo-agent gossip. Like SD says, it's just paper talk. When he goes, it'll be with our blessing for what he's delivered.
Does Sean think more can be achieved here? Only he knows the answer. If and when he leaves, does he think his principles will last, through thick and thin? Of course not. Once Sean leaves it's highly likely he'll join the manager merry-go-round; he knows this too. Six bad results from moving on. Life changing sums have to be balanced against tenure and the pressure of a new fan base. Managers get this (even if those that sit on God's right-hand).
SD has a plan for his time fat BFC and when he has achieved that plan he will consider leaving- he could be tempted by any of the top 4 but is shrewd enough to know he is not in that league yet- by his own admission he is mot ready for the big job but when the FA knock on his door- he will be ready.
Burnley has already shown they will not sack him after a run of sdverse results and the fans will not hound him out. Sit back and chill and enjoy it.
