Everton board are discussing manager Rafael Benitez future after they suffered defeat against Norwich in the Premier League.
The Toffees have won just once in the Premier League since September and are 15th in the table – six points above the relegation zone.
Former Liverpool manager Benitez was appointed by Moshiri as Everton boss last summer but the Spaniard has failed to win over the Goodison Park faithful.
Everton fans displayed a banner calling for his exit during Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Norwich. The same banner was also unfurled at their 3-2 FA Cup third-round win at Hull.
Everton have lost nine of their past 13 league games, including a 4-1 home defeat by Merseyside rivals Liverpool and a 5-2 home defeat against relegation strugglers Watford.
Benitez was asked whether he believed he would get more time from the owners after the Norwich defeat. He said: “I am a professional and I have enough experience.
“I came here to fix problems that is not just the last five months. Maybe we are talking about years. You try to fix these problems but you need time. The top scorer from last season is not playing half of the season so it’s more difficult. Now they are coming back hopefully we will be stronger.”
Manchester United legend Roy Keane said: “Every time I see Everton over the past few months and I must be right, it doesn’t look like a good dressing room there. They’ve got some decent players who turn up every now and again, which is no good for a big club like Everton.
“Rafa Benitez will ultimately pay the price if they keep losing and he may go tonight, but I get the impression that something is missing in that dressing room whether that be the culture or the lack of characters and leaders at the club.
“I know Seamus Coleman and he’s a really good guy, but I get the impression that’s not a good dressing room. You can’t lose that many games, the manager will pay the price.”
