Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes Everton should have enough to escape relegation with Frank Lampard in charge but had reservations over the ex-Chelsea boss getting the job in the first place.
Lampard arrived at Goodison Park at the end of January with the club lying in 16th place in the Premier League with the task of avoiding relegation to the Championship. Two wins over two months have left the club perched dangerously over the relegation zone but three points clear of Watford with two games in hand.
Win those pair of games and another due to playing a game less than Leeds United and Brentford above them and the Toffees would almost certainly keep their place in England's top-flight for at least another season. However, the manner in which Everton collapsed in the FA Cup quarter-finals against Crystal Palace before the international break left a bitter taste in fans mouth.
