BREAKING: #Everton Owner Farhad Moshiri Speaks On Sacking #Lampard [VIDEO]—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Everton‘s majority owner Farhad Moshiri has claimed it is not up him whether Frank Lampard stays on as manager.
This was made known in an interview which surfaced immediately after loosing to west ham United.
The Toffees fell to 19th in the Premier League on Saturday after a 2-0 loss to fellow strugglers West Ham, casting doubts over Lampard’s future at the club.
They are now level on points with bottom-place-Southampton, who beat Everton last week, and have not won a game since October.
🗣 "Is this about time for Frank?"
Moshiri 🗣 "It's not my decision."

When confronted after the game by Sky Sports, Moshiri was unable to give his manager a vote of confidence, simply replying ‘it’s not my decision’ when asked if the former Chelsea midfielder’s time was up.
Club chairman Bill Kenwright added: ‘It’s been a bad run of results for us all and for Frank. We’ve just got to start winning don’t we? It’s about time.’
It comes after a turbulent few weeks for the club on and off the pitch that have seen protests at Goodison Park and board members urged not to attend due to concerns over their safety.
There were empty seats in the Director’s box for Everton’s loss to Saints last weekend and their next home game against Arsenal has also been classed as ‘high risk’ after continued safety concerns.
Many fans have taken issue with the way the club is being run, and peaceful protests have been mixed in with players being confronted outside their cars and reported assaults on board members.
Despite the gloom at Everton at the moment, the congestion at the bottom of the Premier League means they remain just two points from 17th place Wolves, and could turn around their season with a few improved results.
