Everton caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson urges players to roll up their sleeves and 'fight for the club' ahead of his second stint in charge... as he dishes out a few home truths to his beleaguered Goodison Park side

Caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson will demand Everton players 'run themselves into the ground' after dishing out a few 'home truths' following the sacking of Rafael Benitez.

Benitez spent less than seven months in charge at Goodison Park and lost his job following Saturday's 2-1 loss at Norwich, a ninth defeat in 12 Premier League games.

The Toffees now sit just six points above the relegation zone, with former Liverpool boss Benitez paying the price for the poor run of form and Ferguson taking charge for the club's 'upcoming games', starting with Saturday's visit of Aston Villa.
