He was never boss and I guess he's learned a lot from the previous managers' mistakes. He will get a trial period so let's hope that he can get everyone motivated, and most importantly, gain some points!

Ok. I am glad it wasn't Duncan he was referring to. This is a footballing site and I hate to see remarks like that being expressed, even if true.

Best managerial skill Martinez showed was promoting Big Duncan to a first team coach, for that i'm forever thankful to Bobby...
He needs to finally earn that wage that he’s been stealing by getting a performance out of this group until the new manager comes in. Otherwise he’s been a massive failure as a coach and another one of Kenwrights stenches that have been around the club too long.
In my opinion, anybody who is old enough to remember Duncan Ferguson play and old enough to remember Everton when Duncan Ferguson was playing and cannot understand what a talisman he was and is for the club simply doesn't get EFC or it's history. They are following a delusional club which has been at the top of English football for the last number of decades. I have been following Everton since about 1970 and it has largely been log periods of disappointment interspersed with the odd period of dominance.
Duncan Ferguson was one of our heroes that led the fight on our behalf. Was he perfect ? far from it but he does appear to have matured into a thoughtful intelligent man.
Regarding the press conference today.... I didn't see it all but what I did see reminded me of what we have been missing under the two most recent managers....passion, energy, appreciation for the club and the part they play in it's history.
I thought he presented himself very well, I thought his love of the club shone through in everything he said. How refreshing listening to somebody whose ambition in life is to manage Everton.
He may not be a success, he may not have what it takes to be a good manager but we can only hope that he does.
Roberto Martinez to be fair to him was always positive about football, about his players and about the club but it is a results business and if you don't get the results you lose your job.... The media talk about continuity and that is right but it needs to be with the right person. Keeping the same manager as you slide down the table is not continuity... it is self destruction. I liked RM and I was sorry he lost his job but it was something that had to be done.
Koeman never got Everton and had no passion for the club or it's fans , I think Koeman was in love with himself and didn't have room for anybody else. He was a bad appointment, much worse than RM or MS and the poor results compounded by the money wasted makes his time at Everton bordering on criminal.
I have been calling for Marco Silva to lose his job for months now. Sitting in the stand watching an inept hapless performance against Sheff. Utd made me realise we were going nowhere fast with him, it wasn't the result alone as much as the performance, the tactics the complete inability to change a game that you should be winning but is going against you.
On a personal level I feel sorry for him, I think he did get Everton and the fans, I think the job meant a lot to him , Ithink he was respected and liked throughout the club... but as I said earlier it is a results business and his results were not even close to be good enough. I think it was his niceness and decency which made his dismissal so difficult for Brands/Kenwright/Moshiri.
I think Silva may have been too close to his players, too friendly with them... I am not sure he was as in charge as he should have been and I think his friendship and reliance on certain senior players kept them in the team even when they should have been benched. The best manager are respected by their players but I am not sure they are liked by them.
Big Dunc certainly is an imposing figure at the club, has the love and support of the fans.. the rest is up to him.
I wonder if he gave a hint at the press conference that he is ready to begin a career in management as he has said he is not ready to manage Everton but it is his ambition to do so... it may mean he might have to move to get that experience.

Sounds like you have already sharpened your knives and at the ready.
He has to assemble 11 players from the injury ravaged squad for tomorrow, so let’s give him our full support and if things go wrong tomorrow, let’s give them our backing

Just watched it.
Finally some kin enthusiasm and heart in a press conference.
Well done Duncan

Good reply Andy, I’m like you, thought Dunc.could have had a better career with Everton, bet he thinks the same, would handle his time with us differently if given the chance, but he had many good moments, outstanding days and nights with the Blues, but that is in the distant past. What counts now is tomorrow and the future, all of us should be hoping Duncan in the dugout inspires the crowd to inspire the team to a valuable win tomorrow and get the club moving upwards, and carry on in that vein until a new and permanent manager is appointed.
He has my support, but it’s like everyone has forgotten that he was a part of the same management groups that have failed without suffering any consequence.
He now needs to prove his worth.

He hasn't had the bollox to go out and get a manager's job. Fellow cone layers Weir and Stubbs did. They deserve respect, at least.
It’s refreshing to have someone who gives an F about the club in a sea of mercenaries.
If nothing else he’s one of our own.

Temporary manager Duncan Ferguson wells up as he sweats on Everton future
Everton’s former player Duncan Ferguson was nervous and emotional after being appointed temporary manager of the club following Marco Silva’s sacking on Thursday
No! but I've got a photo of a dog having a piss.

Welcome back Wayne
Unsworth made the massive mistake of saying he wanted the managers job. He should have said nothing and got on with doing what he was asked to do. Dunc has said he’s not experienced enough, and that’s what I believe Moshiri wanted to hear. Let’s just see how it goes...,
