Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney would have been the 'logical choice' for the Everton job according to one of his ex-teammates.
Rooney, who used to play for the Toffees before joining United, was tipped by the bookies for the Goodison Park role. However, the current Derby County manager ruled himself out of the running, stating he was happy at Pride Park.
Those in Everton's hierarchy decided to appoint former Rams and Chelsea boss Frank Lampard to takeover from the sacked Rafa Benitez.
