Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has paid tribute to outgoing manager David Moyes, as he prepares to start the hunt for his successor.

Important

Asked if he already has candidates in mind, Kenwright added: "No, really no. It's been a year now since David and I sat down and went through this season, next season. We've been planning for next season until very recently. David Moyes has always been my manager and I'd seriously hoped and thought that he would be the manager next season. "I won't lie to you and say there is no-one in my head, there is no-one in Everton's head, there is no-one in Everton supporters' heads. "Everton supporters are no fools, they took to David Moyes instantly. I will be looking to those supporters, not to get individual names, to get the guidance that true football fans can give to its chairman and its football club. You can't individually poll each of them, but it is important that they get the right man. "Of course it's important that the football club gets the right man, but they know the adventure they have had for 11 years and they don't want that to stop. They want it to continue and continue to grow, that's vital for them. It's a very important time of my life, to see that they are not let down. I don't want to see Evertonians let down."
