Everton's owner, Farhad Moshiri, backed Marco Silva heavily in trying to bring greatness back to Goodison Park, but the club now find themselves in the relegation zone with few apparent prospects left. 

According to Off The Pitch's Financial Forecast, Everton are predicted to record a massive loss for the 2018/19 season, largely due to decreasing turnover as well as increasing wages and amortisation costs.

Silva has the worst points average of any permanent Everton manager in the last 17 years.
