Should Everton’s winless run be extended to nine matches tonight it may be that Benitez’s position becomes untenable.
There already appears to be a great deal of unrest on the blue side of Merseyside and much talk of Rooney taking over.
The links are obvious and, for WR, probably irresistible. Can’t see that he and Duncan Ferguson would be any less successful than Rafa has been but where would it leave us?
Probably make no difference at all to the outcome of this season, but does us being ‘Wayne Rooney’s Derby County’ make us a more attractive purchase?
