Duncan Ferguson
Former striker Ferguson spent several years on the coaching staff at Everton and also had a couple of brief spells as interim boss. He left last summer in his bid to become a manager but is yet to be successful.
Perhaps his lack of experience will cost him this time, as Everton may feel they cannot afford to appoint a novice manager at such a difficult time. But he will not suffer fools and only lost one of his five matches as caretaker.
David Moyes
Moyes is the only manager on this list currently in a job. Coincidentally, victory over Everton on Saturday has helped the Scot ease pressure on his position at West Ham.
However, he admitted he felt sorry for Lampard and Everton after the game. His love for the club he spent over a decade at is clear and he may feel he has gone as far as he can with the Hammers.
