The main reason consciously or otherwise is because their results this season have been dismal. Had they done really well they wouldnt care about the Liverpool connections.

plenty of Everton fans had concerns well before his appointment was confirmed

I know. But im saying that they would have been forgotten if the results were good.

Sentiment never should impact a managerial appointment.

I was thinking similar watching the game. Villa have some tidy footballers but have no cutting edge. They signed Ings to score goals. He is nowhere near to that. Watkins has pace but has also lost his way. 

Add a 15/20 goal striker to that team and they'll be top 6 material.

Man U are Man U. 2 goals from Villa mistakes put them in a good spot, but then had to scramble and hung on for a draw. Fred and Matic in midfield too.

Benitez is sacked according to media reports

Not before time ! 

Rooney will be amongst the front runners , possibly a way out for Dyche ?

They won’t have Dyche at Everton, especially after the season Burnley are having.

[K-Hod]

Hardly shocking tbh. They’ve had injuries, but, he’s alienated players like Digne who’s been one of their big players recently. Doubt he will be missed really.

Benitez sacking will be the final nail in Derby's coffin if Everton take Rooney.Credit to him has done very well with them under those conditions

Why is it every man and his dog can see cm is an issue but manure managers can't? Not that I am complaining mind.

Would he go to Everton right now? I mean they are an utter shambles. Tough gig to walk in to. And Derby is a win win for him. Keep them up he is a genius - and it would be a hell of a feat - go down and no harm to his rep given its a good showing in the circumstances.

Quite remarkable for Rooney really. 8 wins and 11 draws would have them on 35 points in 11th place right now.

[chaddyrovers]

Rooney seems to know how to managed and set team up defensive. Think he needs to his coaching staff with him. 

Another candidate is Duncan Ferguson. Could he step up now? Possibly. 

But Everton owner has spent millions after millions there but not really improve much. He needs to come up with proper football management structure and appoint the correct people in their roles

Anyone seen jwp knuckleball freekick v wolves? Incredible strike. If he was a better all round player he would be a top 4 player.  His set peices though are the best in the world 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Anybody know why both City and Chelsea were playing in blue kits yesterday ?

[Mattyblue]

Light blue versus dark blue often does feature, I’ve noticed.

Yet, I’m sure they’ll have their away shirt on against Watford or Wolves…

Yeah, it's some hit.

Weren't the Toffees connected.before with Dyche, when the dingles were doing much better?  Dyche will not be hired at any ither orem club.  He is just not sexy enough.  Too working class really.

I love this obsession with appointing managers for sentimental and/or for their playing careers, its nonsencial. Even if it is done to get a bounce, it won't be a long lasting one. You appoint the best possible manager and dismiss any notions of who a manager used to play for or support.

It would be utterly ridiculous if Everton chose between Rooney and Ferguson, just a desperate attempt to appease the fans and that may work in the short term, but once results took a turn for the worse, that goodwill would soon wane.

Maybe you could argue that Rooney would deserve consideration for the job that he has done at Derby. I am not so sure, as much as I do admire what he has done so far this season. And there is zero evidence that Ferguson is a competent full time manager.

It is the same with us when Ainsworth is suggested, always with some sort of mention back to being a Rovers fan. Should be irrelevant.

[roversfan99]

Jarrod Bowen is in superb form, surely if based on form and quality an obvious pick for the next England squad ahead of the likes of Rashford, Sancho and Greenwood.

So who would you appoint then as Benitez since you are dismissing Rooney and Ferguson as replacement for Benitez? why? 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

The only thing that drives Everton fans passion is the need to be not so in the shadow of their much more successful neighbours across Stanley Park.

You'll never meet a more entitled and bitter bunch of Football Club supporters!

[Mattyblue]

It’s very simple. If Rooney, a rookie with a couple of dozen games as a manager,  wasn’t ex Everton would he be being touted for the job?

Of course not, then why should he be in line just because he started his playing career there?

Sky Sports just speculate but that would be a very uninspiring list.
