It's been another day of chaos at Everton Football Club after the Toffees have reportedly been put up for sale by owner Farhad Moshiri, just one day after sacking manager Frank Lampard.
Leeds United's relegation rivals have undoubtedly had a season to forget, but this week has arguably been the worst of all. Not only are fans outraged at the recent string of results but at the lack of investment by the owners who now appear to be ready to sell up, according to the Guardian.
The Toffees were dealt a further blow this afternoon by reports that former Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa has rejected the club's offer to replace Lampard, after a year out of management following his resignation from Elland Road.

The Argentinian is notorious for denying job offers if the clubs cannot agree to his terms of how he wants to run his squad, but is said to be the preferred candidate of Moshiri.
Whether this move to sell the club by Moshiri puts that offer into jeopardy isn't clear but it has been said that the 67-year-old is having reservations over taking over at a club that has sacked six managers in the past seven years in what has been a turbulent role to say the least.
Amongst all this, the Everton board are also said to be looking at former Burnley manager Sean Dyche and the current West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan, who worked under Bielsa during his time at Elland Road, is another name linked with the vacancy left by Lampard's dismissal.
On top of that, Tottenham Hotspur are believed to have hijacked a deal for Everton target Arnaut Danjuma, with Sky Sports transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano saying that he's on his way to London for a medical.
It's believed that Moshiri would "consider a minority or majority sale" of Everton and that a number of potential buyers have expressed interest according to the Guardian. He puts the club up for sale with them occupying 19th in the Premier League, level on points with bottom-of-the-league Southampton and a figure of £500million for the sale has mooted.
