Laudrup has ruled himself out,Everton to approach Malky

Everton expected to make a move for Cardiff City's Malky Mackay as successor to David Moyes at Goodison Park
Everton are planning a formal approach to Cardiff City to talk to Malky Mackay about succeeding David Moyes.


Highly regarded: newly-promoted Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay is thought to be at the forefront of Everton's thinking as they seek to replace Manchester United-bound David Moyes.

Moyes, who is taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, is also involved in the process of finding his replacement at Goodison Park. His preference is for Mackay.

Mackay, a fellow Scot, is well-known to Moyes and although he has just gained promotion to the Premier League with Cardiff it is understood that he might be interested in the move.

Mackay met Cardiff owner Vincent Tan in London last week, but the club said this was only to discuss transfer targets.

Mackay is not the only candidate and chairman Bill Kenwright is determined to speak to other managers.

Wigan Athletic’s Roberto Martínez figures in Everton’s thinking, as does Mark Hughes, a former player at the club.


Swansea City’s Michael Laudrup has ruled himself out, and while Porto coach Vitor Pereira is an outside candidate, he could be interested.



Ferguson, meanwhile, is preparing for his final match at Old Trafford against Swansea, with the club fearful that a possible supporters’ backlash against Wayne Rooney, who has asked to leave the club for a second time in three years, could disrupt the tributes planned for the outgoing manager.
A guard-of-honour is being scheduled for Ferguson before the players lap the pitch after the Premier League game against Swansea City as they celebrate a 20th league title.
Ferguson will address the supporters — as is traditional after a title triumph — from a specially-constructed stage. A “Champions 2013” mosaic will be unveiled before the match.
United are keeping their plans closely guarded but, after the match, Rooney will lift the trophy and could be greeted with a lukewarm reception given the fact that he met Ferguson two weeks ago to express his desire to leave having grown frustrated at his loss of status.
It remains to be seen whether Rooney starts today’s match although Ferguson is keen to include veteran midfielder Paul Scholes who has announced his retirement.


Moyes is expected to take coach Jimmy Lumsden with him to United but wholesale changes to the backroom staff are not expected with Ferguson’s assistant, Rene Meuelensteen in particular, highly rated.
It is possible that Moyes might, however, also try to hire Everton’s chief scout Robbie Cooke.
The new United manager will also bid for Everton left-back Leighton Baines, which could lead to Patrice Evra’s departure. Moyes is not interested in Marouane Fellaini but he will need midfield reinforcements.
Contract talks with defender Rio Ferdinand will begin after next weekend, the last day of the league season, and the 34-year-old is expected to agree a one-year extension.
Moyes admitted that although he was delighted to succeed Ferguson, he felt a pang of guilt at leaving Everton after 11 years.
“I will be sad to leave them,” he said. “I was the one telling the players: ‘It will be this year, come on let’s do it’ so I feel bad that I have to say cheerio.”

If Wigan get relegated which is probable, Martinez will go to Everton, especially now after yesterdays cup win.

be interesting to see if malky mentions anything on match of the day tonight...

sounds like everton will make a formal approach for malky this week, however bill kenwright did state he wants to speak with a number of candidates...

im sure, martinez, lennon will all be formally approached..

If he is offered the job, I think he'll go

I really think Everton will promote from within so get your money on Duncan Ferguson.

So, Ferguson appoints Moyes, who claims to have known nothing about it until last week . Malky has been up at Goodison as a guest of Moyes recently. Presumably the topic came up then. So Malky must have known for a while about this. Fair enough, he got the promotion job done, but we need to know what is going on. If Macay goes, then go soon, giving us time to replace him. If he is not going, then let us know, like Laudrup told Swansea. But if he stays, then Malky needs to re-assure us that his heart is still in the job. May sound a bit harsh, but we have got a very important season coming up, which could define the future of CCFC for years to come. We don't need uncertainty at the top. The fans and the players deserve to know the score. What's going on Malky?

I trust the Club are already drawing up a contingency plan in case MM goes so we can act swiftly. If he does go then there's no reason we won't secure a top notch replacement who can take us forward. I for one am not really worried whatever happens

He's helping out with the academy......you reckon?

More chance of alex ferguson than duncan, if its from within more likely david weir of nev

Totally agree with everything you say, we need clarity ahead of this massive season ahead!

I can't see Everton wanting to pay compensation for a new manager. They are receiving nothing from Man U for Moyles so £3m for MM seems a bit too much.

I can see Mark Hughes ending up there or another out of contract manager.

MALKY WILL NOT GO

Honestly don't understand, Kenwright said he won't be bringing in a new manager until the season is over and won't rush.

In this international TV/media world do you think Tan will tell Malky to publicly say no for the time being ?

"Newly promoted Cardiff City manager Malky ........................"

Its all big time publicity.
