Everton manager Frank Lampard insists he doesn’t need a public vote of confidence from the club’s owners to carry out his job.
Farhad Moshiri claimed in a radio interview on Thursday that he had “a lot of faith” in Lampard and believed the Blues boss would “get it right” despite admitting in a reply to the Everton Fans’ Forum the previous evening that “We are all agreed that our current league position must and will improve.”
Lampard said: “I don’t need more. I said last week that I didn’t need reassurances and what I meant was public reassurances because I think they can be taken either way, if there is one or there isn’t one. As a football coach, I joined this club in a relegation battle, a lot of people were saying at the start of the season that I might be the manager that leaves first or favourite whatever these things are. I know in the Premier League you’re always one, two, three games away from the pressure.
