Everton sack manager Frank Lampard after calamitous run of defeats (The Guardian)

Everton have sacked their manager Frank Lampard after a dreadful run of 11 defeats in 14 games that culminated in a 2-0 loss at West Ham.

Everton chose to stand by their latest manager with Moshiri claiming he had faith in Lampard’s work and that stability was required only 13 days before sacking him. There were chants of “You’re not fit to wear the shirt” towards Lampard’s players as well as renewed calls to sack the board following the loss to Southampton, when directors stayed away on the advice of the club’s security staff. Everton sold last season’s leading goalscorer, Richarlison in July to help them comply with Premier League profit and sustainability rules. Lampard had expected to be backed in the January transfer market given there is a recognition throughout the club that the team’s striking options must improve. Lampard had overseen just one win in his last 12 Premier League matches and had been in a precarious position since the Boxing Day home defeat by Wolves, who were bottom at the time. Moshiri left the London Stadium, where he made a rare visit to watch the team, bizarrely claiming that a decision on Lampard’s future was not his to make.

Speaking about his own future, Lampard said: “Those things are not my choice. Lampard took Chelsea into the Champions League during his one full season as manager at Stamford Bridge, but was dismissed in January 2021 with the Blues in ninth place in the Premier League. But Everton are now looking for their eighth permanent manager in less than seven years after Lampard failed to build on the momentum from that successful end to last term. Lampard arrived at Everton 12 months ago with the team languishing in 16th place and the former Chelsea and England midfielder initially looked a shrewd appointment, helping the Merseyside club avoid relegation. But Moshiri, watching Everton for the first time in more than a year at the West Ham game, was far less supportive when asked after the match whether it was time for Lampard to be sacked.

“My ambition’s always been the same wherever I’ve been, to be as successful as I can. “Right now, I’m at a massive football club, mate. I’m living the dream, I’m enjoying every minute of it, and I’m determined to bring as much success as I can to it while I’m here.” “While Postecoglou is admired in England for his work at Celtic Park, he would more likely fit a summer appointment with proper time to rebuild, plus it is unlikely the Australian would swap Celtic Park for a relegation battle.” “Everton are expected to turn to someone who has prior experience of a relegation battle in the EPL, which makes Dyche so attractive,” Atkinson said. “Right now, he is starting to give off the vibe of a guy who might just welcome a change of scenery and an escape from the circus back into the normal world.”

"There were painful defeats at home to Wolves and Southampton, fellow strugglers around Everton in the table. "Everton are not getting a return on the over £500m they've invested in recruitment. Everton have not been able to build on that and find themselves in another relegation battle. "When I made that comment, Everton got in touch with me and I admired it, being on the front foot to defend your club. "The same sorts of players are getting brought in, managers are getting changed left, right and centre. "The club are talking to a number of candidates. I have said Everton are the worst-run club in the country. "A lot of the time when you see managers sacked, the club already have someone else lined up. I don't know if he would want to take on a job the size of Everton. They've lost to Wolves, Southampton and West Ham in three of their last five games." But they're just not up to it at the moment. "Sometimes you look at players and think, 'they're just waiting for the manager to go and then they'll start running around again'.
