# Everton: Fans erupt over Marcel Brands news

**Many Everton fans have been erupting as some news emerged on Marcel Brands.**

As per [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-brands-facing-everton-sack-after-benitez-told-his-job-is-safe/), the Director of Football (DoF) at Goodison Park is now ‘90% likely’ to be sacked, as a source from the Merseyside club claims that the 59-year-old is running out of senior figures among the board and management who are willing to defend his work.

He signed a new three-year deal at the Toffees back in April, but that does not look like it is going to save the Dutchman, as there seems to be a power struggle over transfers with Rafael Benitez.

Farhad Moshiri believes that the Spaniard ‘needs time’, so Brands could well be the first casualty at Everton, given a poor run of form which has seen them with no wins in [eight](https://www.evertonfc.com/results) matches in the Premier League.

As DoF, Brands would have had a big say in recruitment over the years, as the club spent [a lot of money](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/alletransfers/verein/29) on transfers in the last few campaigns but have seen little success come from it, finishing [no higher than seventh](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-everton/platzierungen/verein/29) in the top flight since the 2016/17 season.
