According to a rumor, Everton executives are “edgy” and are considering snatching an upcoming Premier League appointment to oust Lampard, whose firing has been discussed internally.
Before the World Cup break, the Toffees started a terrible run of form. After losing their first two games, their season was stabilized by a six-match winning streak. However, Everton has only won one of their last seven league games, losing the other five.
The most recent incident involved Bournemouth, who four days before had eliminated Everton from the League Cup. Lampard’s team suffered two resounding defeats, each by a score of three goals.

The traveling Everton supporters became agitated as a result, and they expressed their annoyance with the players and management following the game on Sunday.
With 11 goals scored, Everton currently has the joint-second-lowest goal total in the league. They are ranked 17th in the table. The only team with less goals scored than them is bottom-placed Wolves (eight).
Football Insider claims that change may be in the works as another battle to avoid relegation under Lampard appears to be imminent.
They assert that in the past 48 hours following the second humiliating Bournemouth loss, Lampard’s future has been discussed and Everton officials have been “edgy” over their situation.
The club’s decision-makers have sensationally contemplated hijacking a presumably impending appointment elsewhere, and Lampard’s job is said to “be on the line.”
Frank Lampard will be replaced by Marcelo Bielsa?
Marcelo Bielsa, a former fan favorite at Leeds Utd, has lately conducted talks about taking over as Bournemouth manager.
Even though the Cherries won back-to-back games against Everton with interim manager Gary O’Neil in charge, the Cherries’ board is still looking for a manager with more managerial experience.
According to reports from Sky Sports and Football Insider, Bielsa has spoken with the Cherries. The latter stated that negotiations were “advanced” and that the Argentine had been presented with an offer.
The most recent information, however, states that Everton has talked about ‘weighing up’ whether to fire Lampard by ‘hijacking’ Bielsa’s transfer to Bournemouth.
During the Farhad Moshiri era, Everton demonstrated a willingness to hire illustrious individuals.
In recent years, they have worked for Carlo Ancelotti, Ronald Koeman, and Rafael Benitez, and Bielsa would be another well-known name to add to that list.
In West Yorkshire, the 67-year-old will always be revered for ending Leeds’ 16-year exile from the Premier League.
In the Whites’ first season back in the top division, Bielsa guided Leeds to a ninth-place finish, but the going got tougher after that.
In February, Jesse Marsch took his place after a stretch of four straight losses left them facing relegation. Large segments of the Leeds fan base disliked the firing, however Marsch did help guide them to safety.
Since leaving Leeds, Bielsa has been unemployed, although there are growing rumors that he may soon make a comeback to the Premier League.
In the event that Lampard is terminated by Everton, Goodison Park may be Bielsa’s next destination.
