So who will replace David Moyes as manager of Everton after his appointment as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United? Wigan's Robert Martinez heads the betting. Check out the latest odds

It was the former England international's first goal since October 2011 and his first Premier League goal since the final day of the 2010/11 season.

Pulis would like the 33-year-old and Swansea target Kenwyne Jones to remain with the Potters, although he has told them they need to make their intentions known to him should they wish to leave.

"I'm pleased for Michael. He's come on and scored a goal. He looks fitter and sharper. We're trying to arrange a game for him in the week. He just needs games," he said. "He's a good player to come off the bench if you need a goal.

"If Michael wanted to leave I've an office that I work in and he can bang on the door and say he wants to leave.

"It's the same with Kenwyne. Kenwyne has never come into my office and said he wants to leave the football club."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
