Duncan Disordely
Player Valuation: £35m
Joe Royle has been offered the chance to return to Everton and join Roberto Martinez’s backroom team.
Martinez wants to appoint a development director to liaise with the club’s loan players and monitor their progress and Royle is his first choice.
The club are speaking to the former Manchester City and Oldham manager, who was the last Blues boss to lift a trophy with the FA Cup in 1995, and hope he will agree to take up the new role.
Royle, 65, who was top scorer in Everton’s 1970 title-winning side, remains popular on his native Merseyside and his return to Goodison would be welcomed by fans.

Always surprised me that Joe hasn't been involved in some way behind the scenes. Would be good to have him back in some capacity.
Great to see Martinez reach out to him as well (if the story's true mind) shows that he definitley gets our club.
