ROO WELL EQUIPPED FOR SALVAGE JOB SAYS JAG

PHIL JAGIELKA believes the difficult job Wayne Rooney had at Derby would stand him in good stead if he was appointed Everton's new boss.

Rooney is among the contenders after Frank Lampard was sacked, although former Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa remains the favourite.

Ex-Toffees defender Jagielka (left) admits by JAMES NURSEY he hates to see his old club languishing in the drop zone.

A run of eight Premier League games without a win cost Lampard and has left Everton looking for a seventh permanent manager since the start of the 2016-17 season.
