'They are honest' - Frank Lampard makes Farhad Moshiri point as talks held with Everton's board
Frank Lampard has revealed he has held 'honest conversations' with Farhad Moshiri and the rest of Everton’s board.

And speaking ahead of his side’s game with West Ham United on Saturday afternoon, the Blues boss revealed he has held more talks with the club’s hierarchy.
