Farhad Moshiri is still backing both Frank Lampard and the Everton board.
Lampard’s future in the Goodison Park hot seat is still facing growing scrutiny after presiding over just one win from the last 13 matches in all competitions.
Since the Blues’ hammering by Brighton, senior club officials remained silent on the former England midfielder’s position, barely 12 months into his reign.
Everton fans turned their ire on the hierarchy with chants of ‘sack the board’ ringing out in that 4-1 defeat and an early FA Cup exit at Manchester United..
A sit-in demonstration will take place after Saturday’s visit of relegation rivals Southampton as part of the growing #AllTogetherNow supporter movement.
But in a letter to the Everton Fans’ Forum on Wednesday, Moshiri reaffirmed his faith in an under-fire Lampard and his equally beleaguered colleagues.
He said: “I have faith in the work being done not only by our manager, but our director of football [Kevin Thelwell] and our board of directors.
“That faith is based on my knowledge of the depth and quality of work being done both at Finch Farm and the Royal Liver Building – and of the plan that is in place.
“I am confident that we have skilled, experienced and focused professionals at all levels of the club.
“We are all agreed that our current league position must and will improve.”
