Positives of Big Dunc/Rooney

Will have the fans behind them, by and large.

The timing might be a little early for Rooney to be given the role. Had he got a couple of full seasons experience you'd have a better idea of how good a manager he could become. But from all of our the former players that have gone into coaching he is the one that might really give us a real boost. He loves the game and it would be great if he could lead the club to great things as a manager, which he didn't get the chance to do as a player.

While Lampard showed great potential at Derby, and took a high pressure job at the very top at Chelsea, the fact that he hasn't been in a job since he left Chelsea makes me wonder if he's lost interest in management or would be just using us as a stepping stone to get back to a higher positioned club.

In other circumstances I would agree with you and part of me thinks you are probably correct. We need a safe pair of hands. But I’m sick of a safe pair of hands right now. I think I am sad at the state of the club at the moment. Maybe I should be rejoicing Benitez been sacked but I don’t feel anything. I know both Lampard or Rooney are leftfield and risky but I believe they would be bold appointments. They are both modern footballers not long retired and with maybe a older hand in the back room they could turn this situation on it’s head and get some pride back in the football club.

The only realistic option that will work.
Others are either ‘pipe dreams’ or ‘has beens’ we don’t need.
The one ‘world’ level Evertonian we’ve had this century.
Backed by a guy who has seen failure so much in the past 7 years (fail often to find success)
Will galvanise the club and fans.
The Derby experience has shown Rooney the downside, he’s also seen how Alec Ferguson operates.
His name might bring some support in CB and CM in the remaining transfer window.
A lot will dismiss this as whimsical, but the reality is it’s probably the best overall option to take, given our predicament.
