“Joe was the last manager to win a major trophy with Everton, which as a blue is nice!” he said.

“He’s been around the place, with his son, and it’s been great to see them.

“As players we don’t really know too much about what’s been going on with the takeover, that’s been off the pitch.

“The outgoing owners have done great for this football club, and hopefully the new owners do just as well.”
