The Toffees' 2-0 defeat to fellow strugglers West Ham proved the final straw, according to multiple reports in the British media.

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. 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. 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.

"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'.

He spent two short spells as caretaker boss as the club pursued yet another permanent manager but his tactical acumen and suitability for a relegation fight remain unproven. The time needed to implement his unique coaching methods and complex systems of play would count against him making an immediate impact. 'Big Sam' spent five-and-a-half months as Everton boss between November 2017 and May 2018, leading them from 13th to an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League. Dyche has been out of work - which would be considered a plus point by a club still wrestling with profit and sustainablity rules - since his near decade-long stay at Burnley ended in April. The former Toffees boss, a particular favourite of chairman Bill Kenwright, has had his name on the list of potential candidates a couple of times since leaving in 2013 after 11 years of relative success. Currently in charge of MLS side DC United but that would not be a barrier. There's one at one end of the scale and another at the other - and in a way that doesn't surprise me whatsoever. You have to look at the very top." Lampard leaves Goodison Park with the club 19th in the Premier League after a run of nine defeats in 12 games. One deal that is set to be done is a loan move for Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma. His departure means the Toffees are now looking for their eighth permanent manager since owner Farhad Moshiri took over the club in February 2016. We wish Frank and all his backroom team well for their future in the game.
