Moshiri: Everton managerial sackings driven by fans
Everton owner Farhad Moshiri admits his sackings of former managers were driven by adverse fan reaction.The under-pressure billionaire has fired five bosses – Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce, Marco Silva and Rafael Benitez – during almost seven years in charge.
But he claims each one was influenced by the growing negativity to them coming from supporters.
“Some of the decisions we have taken are together with the fans,” he told talkSPORT.
“Older (former) managers who have left have been driven by the fans, not by me initially.”
Having given his backing to Frank Lampard in an open letter published on Wednesday Moshiri reaffirmed that support, adding: “You have to stay with the manager to get the systems going, the players he buys. I have a lot of faith in Frank to get it right.”
