WAS Wednesday a portent of things to come with Everton FC manager David Moyes stood on the touchline at White Hart Lane?
Everton FC put up a decent fight against Tottenham Hotspur, but the hosts were ultimately too strong.
So continues the campaign for Harry Redknapp to be named the new England manager.
The courts may have something to say about that later this month. But if Redknapp does take the impossible job, he’ll need replacing.
Enter Moyes? Redknapp has shown that British (or Irish) can best for the best in the Premier League, with only five foreign managers in the top flight.
Moyes would be forgiven for feeling he has taken Everton as far as they can go.
He deserves better financial support than Bill Kenwright and the Goodison board can give – despite efforts to attract investment – and this summer could be make-or-break for the Scot’s long-term future at the club.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are in pole position to return to Wembley for the first time in 16 years after a 1-0 Carling Cup semi-final triumph at Manchester City.
Not that anyone at Anfield is taking progress for granted. City can’t play as badly again, but Kenny Dalglish will hope that, having lost only one of their last four games against Roberto Mancini’s side, the psychological edge is with Liverpool.
