Paul Clement is under significant threat of losing his job as Swansea manager before the transfer window opens amid the growing relegation crisis.
The Swansea hierarchy have long intended to give Clement the chance to make the January changes needed to transform their season.
But Sportsmail understands that is now in real doubt after Tuesday’s defeat at Everton made it eight losses in their past 10 Premier League games.
It is understood he could even lose his job if Swansea are beaten by Crystal Palace at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
