We need to show the fans that we care about the club.

He said he could become a permanent manager one day.
I've always wanted to be the manager ofEverton but I don't have the experience.
My job is to steady the ship. The club will identify the new manager and bring them in.

The club will make the decisions down the line. We're always looking for the best managers.
