Denise Barrett-Baxendale said the decision to sack Rafa Benitez was “necessary” - as Everton’s chief executive provides the latest on the club’s new manager search.
The Blues dismissed Benitez last weekend after defeat to Norwich City extended the team’s run of form to just one win in the last 13 Premier League games.
Duncan Ferguson has been placed in caretaker charge for the “upcoming games” which started with a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa at Goodison.
