Lennon's been linked for a good few months now.

I thought Martinez would've been nailed on for the job, so it'd be 'interesting' if they went for Lennon.

I pray Bill gets this next appointment massively wrong!

Today shall forever be know as MEGADAY! This can't work out much better for anyone can it? I mean, both of the teams I dislike the most get significantly weakened in one move.

It's too good to be true.

I'm not convinced that Moyes will be a poor appointment for them. I hope to **** I'm wrong but everyone saying he is out of his depth is way off the mark IMO.

Nobody knows how he'll do but there isn't much evidence to suggest that he'll do well and it's far better then them appointing mourinho or klopp etc.

[McDermotX]

Martinez sounds right. But Lennon just 'fits'.
Just the sort to lead Everton back into mid-table mediocrity for the next decade.

Well suited to each other.

[Roboklopp]

Aye and another ginger angry celtic type.

[Exiled_red]

I don't really know how good Lennon is he's won the SPL a number of times but at most has only had Rangers as a serious challenger and there's no-one there at the moment offering a threat to them.

[Alex]

He set out a team that beat Barca. But only had 15% possession. Master tactician.

[Paddy]

Imagine Rafa took the job.

[baitman]

if lennon gets the nod then within three years we can say goodbye to derby days.

Phil Neville interested in Everton job after David Moyes era
• Everton start search for successor after news of departure
• Neil Lennon, Roberto Martínez and Michael Laudrup in frame

Everton will start the search for David Moyes' successor having been taken by surprise at the manager's imminent move to Manchester United and with Phil Neville interested in the job.

The Goodison Park club have several candidates in mind to replace Moyes, including Neil Lennon, Roberto Martínez and Michael Laudrup, having known all year that the Scot wanted to wait until his contract expired at the end of the season before making a decision on his future.

Discussions on Everton's first managerial appointment since 2002 were only tentative, however, with the expectation being that Moyes would stay amid a lack of interest from England's leading clubs. He was finalising Everton's pre-season arrangements only on Tuesday and has held several discussions on his transfer budget and targets for this summer.

The Everton hierarchy did not receive notice of United's or Moyes' intentions until the 50-year-old met Bill Kenwright at the chairman's offices in London on Wednesday. He is expected to inform Everton's players of his impending departure at the club's Finch Farm training ground on Thursday.

Martínez is one name under consideration having guided Wigan to the FA Cup final on a modest budget, although the club is on the brink of relegation following Tuesday's home defeat by Swansea City. Their manager, Laudrup, and Celtic's Lennon are also in the frame whileWest Bromwich Albion coach Steve Clarke, formerly of Liverpool, is another candidate.

Mark Hughes has made it known he wants to succeed Moyes at Everton, where he spent two seasons as a player late in his career, but his disastrous spell in charge of recently relegated Queens Park Rangers is likely to count against him. Hughes also upset many at Everton with his handling of Joleon Lescott's transfer when Manchester City manager.

Neville is due to leave Everton at the end of the season having declined Moyes' offer of a coaching role to continue his playing career elsewhere. But the chance of a high-profile move into management with Everton does appeal to the 36-year-old, who Moyes may yet take with him to Old Trafford.

What a team!

United fans are gutted with Ferguson going and Moyes coming in. Everton fans are gutted with Moyes leaving.

What a wonderful day for football.
