Everton

I would think that's their main criteria.

Why are they not getting Compo from United for Moyes, does anyone know?

Whilst Everton would love a swap deal, Fergie has said he is retiring from football when he leaves United.

Everton are understood to have identified ten potential candidates to replace David Moyes as manager at Goodison Park.

Moyes is succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United this summer and that has left Everton chairman Bill Kenwright looking for a new boss for the first time in 11 years.

The club are considering several options, with Phil Neville, David Weir and Alan Stubbs three of those in contention, according to Sky sources.

Neville's Everton playing career is coming to a close after over 300 appearances in eight years, and the 36-year-old has been interviewed for the vacancy.

Former defensive duo David Weir and Alan Stubbs, who are currently on the coaching staff on Merseyside, have also been spoken to about the job.

Everton are also considering turning to previous managers Howard Kendall or Colin Harvey who have also been sounded out about the role.

There are five external candidates, with Porto coach Vitor Pereira the current favourite for the position

Pereira was formerly Andre Villas-Boas' assistant at Porto before taking charge in 2011 and he has won the Portuguese title in both seasons at the helm.

He is out of contract at Porto this summer and has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Moyes, along with Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez.

The Spaniard spoke to Wigan chairman Dave Whelan earlier on Wednesday and he is expected to make a decision on his future in the next 24 hours.

Martinez led Wigan to FA Cup final success earlier this month before seeing the club relegated from the Premier League and he has also been linked with the Stoke City vacancy.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup, Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay and former Chelsea head coach Roberto Di Matteo are also in the frame.

Laudrup recently confirmed he has no plans to leave Swansea, while Mackay has also played down speculation he could take over from Moyes.

I bet my house that they don't get roundly laughed at for the same approach to a management solution as we had last season.

I heard that the job has been offered to Alan Stubbs and it's being kept quiet for a few days whilst Moyes sorts out his backroom staff. I know loads of people who have stuck money on Stubbs to take over and if I was a betting man I'd put money on him too.

Heard similar, grew up knowing him but haven't seen him for a while now but one of his relatives has mentioned it but didn't seem certain to be honest. Might have just been the interview and them being excited/confused.

Huge gamble on 'Arry Redknapp to be the next Everton manager, now 7/4 from 25/1 this morning!

[Fivex]

They wouldn't be stupid enough to allow him to spend a single penny with the situation they're in, surely.

[Shaggy]

Pretty much every one of the names heavily linked has made me LOL
