Everton legend Gray calls on Lampard to resign

Everton legend Andy Gray has called on manager Frank Lampard to resign.

After defeat to Southampton, speaking on beIN Sports, former Everton striker Gray added his voice to those suggesting Lampard's time is up.

"I don't know where they go, and I don't know where Frank goes from here," the 67-year-old said.

"If I've been there a year and I've had two transfer windows and I've shaped a team the way I want - plenty of players have come in since Frank's been there, and it's his team - and I haven't moved them forward... I would say 'maybe this is for someone else. Maybe somebody can do a better job than me'.

"It's a big decision they [Everton] have got coming," Gray added, with games against Arsenal and Liverpool on the horizon after the trip to West Ham.

"Honestly, it's a massive one now. I thought two weeks ago, before the cup tie (against Man Utd) when they lost at home to Wolves, I thought 'that's a big one'.
