Former Everton defender Andy Hinchcliffe believes Wayne Rooney would be going from 'the frying pan' and 'into the fire' if he succeeded Rafa Benitez at his old club.
Rooney came through the youth ranks at Everton and celebrated a year in charge of Derby a couple of weekends ago as the Rams beat Sheffield United 2-0 at Pride Park.
The former Blues forward has done a remarkable job to help inspire the Rams off the bottom of the Championship despite being hit with a 21-points' deduction this season.
