Sam Allardyce? We'd probably have won the league now if he'd stayed. They've just sacked some of Rafa's staff.

EVERTON HAVE CONFIRMED the appointment of Duncan Ferguson as caretaker manager.
Ferguson oversaw training today, with the club looking for a successor to Rafael Benitez after sacking the Spaniard on Sunday.
The Toffees confirmed in a statement that Ferguson would be in charge “for the club’s upcoming games”, starting with the visit of Aston Villa.
Ferguson will be supported in his caretaker role by John Ebbrell and Leighton Baines, along with goalkeeping coach Alan Kelly.
Former Scotland and Everton striker Ferguson is set for a second spell as caretaker boss, having taken charge of three games during December 2019 following the dismissal of manager Marco Silva.
It has been reported that Wayne Rooney – the former Everton forward currently managing Derby County – and ex-Chelsea boss Frank Lampard are set to be interviewed for the full-time job.
Everton added in today’s club statement: “An announcement on a permanent managerial appointment will be made in due course.”
Ferguson has been part of their coaching staff since 2014, and enjoyed a decent run in his previous caretaker stint, securing a victory over Chelsea as well as draws with Manchester United and Arsenal ahead of the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti.
Benitez, who replaced Ancelotti last summer, was axed after Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Norwich City left Everton with only one win and nine defeats in 13 Premier League games.
They are 16th in the table, six points above the relegation zone with two games in hand over 18th-placed Norwich.
Their search for a replacement for Benitez has seen Roberto Martinez, the Belgium head coach who was in charge at Goodison Park from 2013-2016, in the running.
It has been suggested Everton were prepared to consider Martinez combining the two roles until at least the summer but it is not a solution on which Belgium have appeared to be keen.

Everton have interviewed former Italy defender Fabio Cannavaro for their vacant manager role, according to reports.
Sportsmail revealed earlier this week that Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard are both being considered as Rafa Benitez's replacement at Goodison Park, after reports claimed that both former England internationals had also been interviewed by the club.
World Cup-winning defender Cannavaro has been a manager since 2014, with most of his experience coming in the Chinese Super League along with a short stint with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr.

I don't think Duncan Ferguson is going to make much of a difference as our players are shite.
