Could Howe be Moyes' long-term successor at Everton?

[Getty Images] Everton fan Matt Dillon says Eddie Howe may bide his time until David Moyes leaves the Toffees and then ensure his name is in contention to take over. Howe - who is understood to have left his role at Newcastle on Thursday - has spoken about being a boyhood Everton fan, and Moyes has just one year remaining on his current deal at the club in what is his second spell in charge. "I just thought, especially with the inkling he's going to take a little bit of time away, that said to me he's thinking 'I'm gonna wait until David Moyes gets canned and then throw my hat in the ring'," Dillon told BBC Radio Merseyside. "The way the season was a massive disappointment for the fans and the players, there was talk of the club offering Moyes another contract, that has completely gone dead. He is out of contract at the end of the season, there is nobody really coming through the door in terms of players. "If they are not happy with the way things are going, can they throw the money at someone else coming in, whether that is Eddie Howe or someone else. "Howe got Newcastle to a certain point, I feel sorry for him. He has the richest owners in the world but they can't really spend the money and he's having his best players ripped away."
