Bring the best out of Dominic Calvert-Lewin

As a coach and assistant manager has worked with players. With Calvert-Lewin being the prime example. The England international who is a member of the upcoming Euros squad is quick to praise Ferguson’s influence.

After the Chelsea victory, he told the club’s official website

"[Personally] it was about repaying the work Duncan has done with me over the past three years. I have worked closely with Duncan, we have a good relationship and that’s why I ran to him when I scored my second goal."

Ferguson’s influence has helped Calvert-Lewin become a feared header of the ball and given his natural leaping ability it makes a threat in the air. Calver-Lewin created a fuss when he chose to wear the number 9, a legendary number in Everton’s history. But, with Ferguson’s help Calvert-Lewin wears it well.

A good percentage of Blues would welcome Ferguson, despite his lack of the intangibles others might bring. He isn’t a big name and that might limit Everton’s ability in the transfer market.

But Ferguson is a Blue through and through, the fact that Howard Kendall’s widow, Lily, gave him her husband’s old watch to wear before the Chelsea match shows that.

However, is that enough?

Can Duncan Ferguson become the next Toffee manager?
