Frank Lampard has revealed he has held 'honest conversations' with Farhad Moshiri and the rest of Everton’s board.
The Blues’ poor run of poor continued last weekend as they were beaten 2-1 by Southampton at Goodison Park. James Ward-Prowse’s second-half double cancelled out Amadou Onana’s opener.
Moshir, who hasn’t attended an Everton game since October 2021, publicly gave his backing to Lampard during an interview on talkSPORT last week. And speaking ahead of his side’s game with West Ham United on Saturday afternoon, the Blues boss revealed he has held more talks with the club’s hierarchy.

“Yes,” the Everton boss replied when asked if he had spoken to Moshiri. "They're always private conversations. They're communications for trying to get the best.”
Before he added: “They are honest and I have to be honest because it's my job and the job is in the now.
“If I don't say my honest opinion, I wouldn’t be doing my job right. I have to say it as I see it and of course the owner and the board have to work in the structure they can do.
“We have to speak about budgets, what we can do and where the squad is at. So they have to be honest.
“The reason they stay private is because I think it is pretty normal. When you are working I think it normal that those conversations stay private, but they are honest.”
