The future of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright will be decided within 48 hours, the club confirmed on Monday evening.
After another season in which the Blues endured on- and off-field problems, the club have announced widespread changes to the board of directors with Chief Executive Officer, Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Chief Finance and Strategy Officer Grant Ingles and Non-Executive Director Graeme Sharp all leaving their post.
The trio, along with Kenwright and the club's owner Farhad Moshiri, have been the focus of fan protests throughout the campaign.
The chairman could yet follow Barrett-Baxendale, Ingles and Sharp out the door though, with Everton noting in their statement an update "will be made about interim appointments and the future of the Chairman in the next 48 hours."

Kenwright came out in support of the board prior to the clash with Crystal Palace in April and has paid tribute to the three departing board members.
"This has been a great Board who have all worked tirelessly for the Club, no matter what the circumstances," he said.
"My relationship with Denise has been known as one of the closest in football. I thank her for her many achievements, particularly her magnificent work in respect of our new stadium."
Kenwright purchased 68% of Everton from Peter Johnson in 1999 and became chairman of the club in 2004.
