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.

How will Everton sacking Frank Lampard affect Sunderland's Ellis ... (Sports Illustrated)

So, would Lampard being sacked change anything? How will Frank Lampard sacking affect Sunderland Ellis Simms deal? You'd have to say there is a very good chance ...

"We have to try and do our business now, that's the way it has to be. It'll depend on whether we can get some more signings over the line because we have to push on with signings. We just have to do our business and look after Sunderland AFC by bringing in another option or two as strikers. "That's football, we have to do what's right for us. "We can't wait for Everton to decide whether Ellis Simms is coming back or not. They will have done their own assessments on where Simms is right now and are unlikely to want him to be starved of football at such a critical time in his career. We can't wait for Ellis hoping that on the last day they say he can come back,” However, a new manager will want to reassess everything and make his own judgement on the squad. You’d have to say there is a very good chance it will scupper it entirely. By the same token, an internal or quick appointment would help Sunderland’s cause. After all, Everton may well need a ready-made top Championship striker for next season. He has played a total of 15 minutes in four matches since returning to Everton.
