Everton owner Farhad Moshiri refused to offer manager Frank Lampard public support after defeat at West Ham.

Moshiri was at the London Stadium to watch Everton's loss. Prior to that match, he had not watched the Blues in action since their 5-2 defeat to Watford towards the end of 2021.

Moshiri was joined by chairman Bill Kenwright, chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale plus Graeme Sharp and director of football Kevin Thelwell in the capital. And after the game, two members of the board spoke to reporters.

First was Kenwright, who was asked by Sky Sports about the club's current form.

It's been a bad run of results for us all and for Frank," said Kenwright. But I would never say that to you," he added, when asked if it was time for Lampard to leave the club.

Kenwright added: We've just got to start winning, haven't we? It's a bad time."

Moshiri was then questioned about Lampard's future as Everton manager. And the club's majority shareholder gave an intriguing response.

I cannot comment," said Moshiri. It's not my decision," he added, before getting into his vehicle to leave the London Stadium.
