Rafa Benitez was on the brink of being sacked tonight after Everton called an emergency board meeting.
The Toffees fell to yet another defeat on Saturday – a 2-1 loss to fellow-strugglers Norwich City.
After a promising start to the season, Everton have lost nine of their past 12 Premier League games, slipping from fourth to 15th in the table in the process.

The travelling fans made clear that they feel only the departure of Benitez - a controversial summer appointment given his six-year spell at rivals Liverpool - can reverse the slide.
