Derby humiliation triggers fresh Moyes speculation

Silva was reportedly on the brink of being sacked after overseeing his side's eighth defeat in the last 11 Premier League games and both The Guardian and the Daily Mail were reporting in the aftermath that Moyes is waiting in the wings to rejoin his former club, with Tim Cahill being considered as his assistant.

With neither Farhad Moshiri nor his boardroom representative Sasha Ryazantsev not in attendance at Anfield, the media briefing is thought to have come from Bill Kenwright's camp, further evidence perhaps of continuing disagreement among the hierarchy over how to proceed.

According to The Athletic, the board members will convene over conference call this morning to decide on whether or not Silva should continue as manager and, if not, who should replace him.
