Marcel Brands is under pressure at Everton.
With the Blues languishing at the wrong end of the table, the Dutch sports director is bearing the brunt of criticism.
And TMW says Brands could yet be replaced.
Everton have made contact with Shakhtar Donetsk sports director Jos Boto about a move to England.
Talks are well underway with Boto, though it's not been established whether he would join Everton to work with Brands or replace him.
