Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher says fans cannot be ignored by Everton when it comes to their next manager.
Carragher wrote for the Sunday World: "Farhad Moshiri has made many expensive mistakes during his six-year Everton reign. His next will be the most costly if it plunges the club deeper into a relegation fight.
"No manager – no matter how good – can revolutionise Everton's team in the next six months.
"When conducting the interviews, the immediate priority had to be a coach who will get the most out of a limited squad.
"There is no reason why Duncan Ferguson, who was a belated inclusion on the shortlist to replace Rafa Benitez, can't be part of the solution.
"Never underestimate the value of someone with a passionate crowd on his side. It means the players can't shirk their responsibility, as this group has for a long time now, while the coach has absorbed most of the pressure.
"Ferguson did not have a positive start to his caretaker stint last weekend. It was one game; 90 minutes against a resurgent Aston Villa.
"That cannot be enough to convince Moshiri and his advisers to panic and dismiss his credentials, even if it is part of the backroom staff should Frank Lampard take the role. The club must remember the galvanising effect Ferguson had on the club two years ago after going unbeaten against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal."
