Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has warned Everton against appointing Duncan Ferguson.
The Toffees legend is reportedly in the running to replace Carlo Ancelotti, having served as an assistant to the Italian.
He told talkSPORT: "Duncan Ferguson embodies a certain spirit that you want in your club but you don't want that spirit running the club on a day-to-day basis because it will come unwound. It is a one tricky pony.
"It has a certain way of operating and it should absolutely be utilised.
"I do not think it would do Duncan Ferguson any favour whatsoever to be given that role.
"You need to save him from himself. You would put a club hero into a position, it is like asking a one-legged man to run a 100m in ten seconds and then castigating him for not being able to do it.
"He does not have the toolkit and the skillset to be a manager capable of competing with the six or seven other managers."
