Everton caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson says his target is to lift spirits around the club while he's in charge.

The Scot accepts he won't be considered as a permanent replacement for the sacked Marco Silva.

But he said, "ou would never turn it down, would you? You would never knock it back.

"I know we are in a bit of trouble and they are going to have to take time to find candidates and go through that process.

"I backed Marco to the hilt, as I back all my managers. They know that. Everyone knows I am here for Everton. Always. We are Everton and I am a part of that."
