Phil Jagielka believes Wayne Rooney could serve as a suitable appointment should Everton decide to part company with Frank Lampard.
The Blues' boss came out fighting at his press conference yesterday afternoon, telling reporters he requires no guarantees over his position at the club and is prepared to continue giving his all to a project he remains committed to. Tonight's fixture away to Manchester United represents an opportunity for Lampard to relieve pressure he is currently facing as Everton look to issue a response to Tuesday's 4-1 humbling inflicted by Brighton.
Rooney is among the names being mentioned as a potential Lampard successor if the Blues' board run out of patience, having last year turned down a interview for the vacant manager's position following Rafa Benitez's dismissal as he aimed to steer Derby County to Championship safety.
