No one would expect him to take it."He takes it because he loves football, wants to be there day to day and I think he'd do that again if he had the chance to."But I think for right now, I think media is an area that Wayne will go into. I think he's refreshingly honest and he's open."You might want to touch him up here and there on the side just because he's just started, but at the same time, I like that little bit of ruggedness and a little bit of off the cuff-ness that he's got, where he doesn't conform to what we expect to see in the media."Tarkowski extendsJames Tarkowski has signed a new deal with Everton through to the summer of 2028.The defender's contract had been due to expire at the end of this season, but he has now agreed a two-year extension.Tarkowski joined the Toffees from Burnley in 2022 and has since made 128 appearances for the club.Reacting to the news, he told Everton's media channels: "I'm super excited and proud to be an Everton player and to continue this journey."It's been a crazy few years with some big lows and some massive highs.

When I was in Saudi I think I was in every camp prior to the Euros."Timing, with everything in hindsight, yes - maybe I would have made different decisions."But at the time that's how I felt and the decision I made was for many different reasons and only I know them reasons."I am not going to lie, over the past couple of years I have had some tough moments. But all I've ever tried to do is the right thing."Henderson could win his 85th cap for the Three Lions against Wales at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.Gerrard concernAlly McCoist has raised a major concern surrounding Steven Gerrard's potential Rangers return.The Liverpool legend has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Russell Martin at Ibrox.Gerrard previously spent three years in charge of the Scottish giants, winning an unbeaten league title during that time.However, he has been away from the dugout since leaving Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq in January.McCoist believes there may be financial implications from his spell in the Middle East which could impact his potential Rangers appointment.The former Gers striker told talkSPORT Breakfast: "Clearly I don't know his domestic situation, but I would suggest maybe Glasgow is an improvement from out there."I know he has been living outside (of Saudi Arabia, in Bahrain), but I mean Glasgow is a good place to live.“But one thing I would say there's probably a better than average chance there'll be tax implications involved.“We're all aware without knowing the finer details of the finances that are available over in that part of the world.“So I would imagine that he's probably under a little bit of pressure to stay out of the country for a period of time.“As I say I don't know his financial situation but I'm guessing that might be the case and with the amounts of money involved you certainly wouldn't want to take a chance and lose that?”Textor talksJohn Textor has confirmed he is in talks to buy crisis club Sheffield Wednesday.It follows reports the American businessman had been in discussions with current Owls owner Dejphon Chansiri.Wednesday have been embroiled in financial woes for several years, with multiple transfer embargoes imposed by the EFL.Meanwhile, they could face a points deduction after failing to pay players and staff on time once again last month.Textor could now step in to save the Championship side, though, after revealing he is discussing a deal with the club.He told The Added Time Podcast: "I hate to say anything controversial to the fans, but the owner, at least in my experience with him, has been very open to the ideas."I've had a little bit of interaction, some direct.

I think it will be one of them."Alan Shearer is still backing champions Liverpool, though, adding: "I said Liverpool, and there has only been seven or eight games."Ask me after 12 games, and I might change my mind and say Arsenal."Back-to-back league defeats have left the Reds a point behind the Gunners in second.However, Arne Slot's side did beat their title rivals at Anfield back in August.Arsenal have not won a Premier League title since their Invincibles went an entire season unbeaten in 2003/04.ReturnSteven Gerrard is the leading candidate for the vacant manager's job at Rangers IF he wants to return to Ibrox, talkSPORT understands.Liverpool legend Gerrard rejected the Gers' advances before they hired Russell Martin in the summer.Sources have told talkSPORT that sporting director Kevin Thelwell has sounded out Sean Dyche about succeeding Martin.The pair worked together at Goodison Park, however Dyche is not believed to be keen on the role.Hearts boss Derek McInnes is another possible option, although the league leaders will fight to keep him.Legend in the makingFrank Lampard agrees with the comparisons being made between Moises Caicedo with two Chelsea legends.Caicedo has become one of the most talented and consistent stars at the Blues, and scored a stunner in their 2-1 win against Liverpool.The Ecuadorian international is one of the best midfielders in the world and has been compared to Claude Makelele and N'Golo Kante.Both players shone for Chelsea and became all-time greats like Lampard, who lauded Caicedo's efforts in Blue live on talkSPORT."I see that, and that's a big comparison because of what they did, they were both amazing," he said on Drive about the comparisons."I played with Maka, obviously, and he was a different type to N'Golo, because N'Golo could really get around everywhere, whereas Maka basically sat in front a lot."Because of the style of play, he can do the Makelele break up stuff really, really well, closing down space really quickly."Now he's shown, I think last season and this, that he's got the sort of Kante bits in his game, because N'Golo could do that, could arrive at the edge of the box and score."So, still a young player, really growing quickly in the group, and I think it's a fair comparison. It makes sense, he's doing really well."IncompleteSteven Gerrard says he has 'unfinished business' in management.The Liverpool legend was last with Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq, who he left in January by mutual consent.Gerrard also managed Rangers and Aston Villa, and is expected to be considered at the former after they sacked Russell Martin.He was a guest on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, and said "I know where I'm strong and I know there's areas where I need good support."And I need special skill sets to make me better and stronger, in terms of my staff and my group."I felt like I had that to a tee at Rangers, I had it to a tee.
