James welcomes Everton correspondent Sean Norton on to the Podcast to discuss the state of his club Everton following Sunday's dismissal of manager Rafa Benitez. There's discussion on how Benitez failed, the team's dismal on field performances and concerns about the financial situation which is likely to mean the stars that remain could leave in the summer. Who's in charge of the club, is it Farhad Moshiri or does Bill Kenwright still have a decisive say in off field operations. And how much danger are The Toffees in? Could they be relegated this season? And who's best to step in to the managers position? Roberto Martinez, Wayne Rooney and Duncan Ferguson appear to be the front runners...
