Premiership: Gough - Everton board 'taking a gamble'

Richard Gough feels Everton have taken a gamble by sacking Walter Smith with the club locked in a relegation battle.

The former Rangers manager has been axed after a three-and-a-half-year reign at Goodison following a string of poor results which have left Everton fighting for their Barclaycard Premiership status and seen them dumped out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough on Sunday.
