Should Everton appoint Duncan Ferguson on a full-time basis?Yes, he's an obvious choiceNo, we need more quality |
Despite this being the fifth game in a row that the club has had to confirm who would be in charge for the next clash, with Marco Silva’s last two games following suit, Ferguson has changed the atmosphere at Goodison Park (as per BBC).
With an impressive two performances alongside a positive couple of results, many fans were desperate to see the Scotsman appointed on a full-time basis.
If it meant that we get the right man at the end of the season – give it dunc till May. We are in safe hands.

What do we think?
What Ferguson has done at Goodison Park in just two short games is nothing short of a miracle, he seems to be turning the club around and providing a fantastic platform for whoever may come in.
However, the club should still look to do exactly that and bring someone in, as passion can only get you so far and the club needs more quality at the helm to take them through following this initial honeymoon period.
