 Welcome to Toffey TV, it is the Everton News Daily, Duncan Ferguson has held his press conference ahead of Sunday's trip to Old Trafford to Face Manchester United. And there is unfortunately some bad news on the injury front once again. Morgan Snydlen and Theo Wolcott are both going to miss the game. In fact Theo Wolcott could be out for the entire Christmas period, he's likely to be out for up to three weeks. Morgan Snydlen, possible two weeks, both got muscle injuries. Probably brought on by the fact that they had to run a lot more on Saturday for the Everton team. There does seem to be a little bit of a hint that some of these players are unfit and weren't up to the levels, required to put in performances like that. Maybe that's what Everton should do is go out there and look for a new fitness coach. Maybe bring back Dave Billows who was so successful as David Muiz's conditioning coach. Also worked with Tony Bellew as well. So maybe he's someone we should bring in to get these players fit because at the moment our players are dropping like flies. Not easy to get players up to that level that you want them to be up to at this time of year. It's the case of having them tick over. You want them to put the hard yards in in pre-season and that clearly wasn't done and we clearly have a squad that don't have the levels at the moment. So those two players definitely missing, Jerimine, Llywodraeth, Seamus Coleman, Fabian Delph all in light training. We'll have to see if any of those players make it. Hopefully Llywodraeth won't be missing at the weekend. Hopefully Jerimine. If we could get those four players in and around the squad for the weekend that would be a massive boost with the Christmas period coming up with Leicester, Wednesday, Arsenal, Saturday, Burnley on Boxing Day. And then a trip to Newcastle followed by a trip to Man City followed by a trip to Anfield. It'd be nice to just have some of those players coming back. And then hopefully January time we can get maybe Kabam on back. So lots to think about for Duncan Faggs and obviously going to be really difficult from going to Old Trafford this weekend. And there in good form. And when you look at those injuries, he's got a tough task ahead of him. But the big question is will he be in charge after Sunday's game? Will there be a new manager? There's obviously been a lot of rumours in the last week or so. Call of Angelotti is the latest favourite. Obviously David Moyes is still in there. But another name that I made today is the name of Michael Artheta, who was obviously a name that came out quite early when people were talking about a new manager. But it was sort of dismissed, put to one side. Lots of talk about Man City not willing to let him go. Pep Guardiola saying that this is not the right time. But it seems like the Everton board are talking about him. Listen, the list of candidates for the Everton manager isn't that long and isn't that good. Call of Angelotti, who's now available, has sprung to the top because he's a very successful manager at Champions League clubs. Does he shoot Everton? Does he shoot what Everton's needs are at this point in time? Would he put the energy into it? That is required to tell him Everton round. A lot of people out there would say yes and I can't really argue with those people when it looks just track record. But maybe Everton now are looking at something like Michael Artheta and thinking this could be exactly what we need. A young coach who's ready to take the lead as the manager. And maybe following on from what we've seen last week with Duncan Ferguson's first game, knowing that an ex-blue would get the crowd onside straight away. And maybe having people like Duncan Ferguson around them who knows people like Tim Kale, people like Lee Carsley. That could really galvanise the fan base, galvanise the club and drive us forward. Personally I would love to see an ex-Everton and be the next manager. I don't know whether that's possible. I'd love to see that. There's just something about the connection between the fans and ex-players that really helps and really gets the crowd going. But Michael Artheta has definitely been spoken about at boardroom level. It's whether the people in the boardroom can get their heads together and make a decision that they are all happy with. And at the moment that seems to be the stumbling block on moving forward on a manager. So we'll have to wait and see. Plenty of food for thought. Maybe we'll find out more next week. But it'll be a difficult job getting Michael Artheta out of Man City at this time. It'll also probably be difficult convincing to come to evidence taking over where we are at the moment. But listen, he's the assistant manager at Man City at the moment. I'm sure if all things are equal becoming his first managerial job being at Everton, I'm sure that would be something that he probably would jump at. It just depends on the time more than anything else. In other news today. It's been very busy for Friday. Normally I only talk about the press conference. In other news today, it's been revealed that Everton will put in the planning permission for the Bramley Mawls Dock stadium on the 23rd of December. So next week. Next Monday is it? Next Monday? No, next Monday. The following Monday, sorry. With some slight changes to the original plan that we've all seen. A lot of the changes are not too drastic. It all comes down to heritage. Everton are looking to restore a lot of the original features of the area. Bringing cobbles in and lamps, street lamps and moorings for the boats tradition. I'm trying to get it. Listen, the big stone one block with this stadium as we've always known is the heritage side of it. Convincing things like English heritage, UNESCO, these things that. Are really the only issue I think. The stadium is being designed. Money apparently isn't going to be a problem. It all comes down to convincing the heritage people that we are not decimating the area, which is mad considering if you go down there now and see what's there. So helping with that trying to restore a lot of the old features and buildings that are surrounding it will go some way to helping drive that forward. I've obviously looked at the second part of the consultation and found issues maybe they need to improve on. Listen, if you look at the results, there aren't many and it's minuscule but I'm not trying to go to the absolute finest detail on this and making sure that every box is ticked and every T is crossed and every I is dotted. And listen also on that. Who doesn't want a nice stadium in a nice surrounding area? Liverpool and that part of Liverpool is very traditional looking city in terms of old buildings and we want to keep that. It'd be fantastic to go to this new modern stadium but setting an old traditional area and obviously part of the stadium reflect that as well. So I'm all on board for that and hopefully that gets it through and hopefully that gets it to a position where in the next three months we get given the go ahead and then we can get H Bade in the ground and start building this thing. I think other than the looking at possibly the summer, all things going well is the time they can get started. So let's hope it does. So that's a good piece of news obviously going into the new year. So 23rd it will be submitted for the council to look at and then if anyone else needs to look at possibility of it going in front of obviously the government rather than the local planning permission. So let's hope it just gets plan permission from but with it being such a huge project, it might be called just to be looked at because of all the money involved and all the logistics around it. So we'll wait and see on that. Anyway, let us know your thoughts in the comments and anything I spoke about. Don't forget to check out the match preview that is available now.
