Everton's Bill Kenwright to get fans to help choose new manager

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has revealed that he will gauge the fans' feelings before appointing a new manager at Goodison Park.

The Merseyside outfit are in the hunt for a new leader following David Moyes's departure to Manchester United, who confirmed that the Scotsman has agreed a six-year deal with the club.

"I will be looking to the fans to get that guidance," Kenwright told Sky Sports News. "I can't individually poll each one of them but it is important that they get their right manager.

"They know the adventure they have had for 11 years. A very important part of my life is to see they are not let down because I don't want Evertonians let down."

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has become the bookmakers' favourite to take the role, while Neil Lennon and Phil Neville are also thought to be contenders.
