In the days since Monday afternoon's announcement that Frank Lampard had been dismissed as Everton manager - there have a whole host of names linked with taking over the reins on the Blue half of Merseyside.
Former fans' favourites at Goodison Park have been linked with succeeding the former England international, with both Wayne Rooney and Duncan Ferguson among those mentioned. Meanwhile former Blues boss Sam Allardyce has also been touted with a possible return to Merseyside, encapsulating just how desperate Everton's current plight is as they look to keep their ever-present Premier status intact.
There's plenty of Premier League experience in the running too with Sean Dyche, who oversaw two promotions to the top-flight with Burnley, and former Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl also joining the aforementioned trio in having their names linked. Marcelo Bielsa is another candidate believed to be high on the list.
