Farhad Moshiri... “On behalf of the Chairman, Board of Directors and Mr Moshiri, I’d like to thank Sam for the job he has done at Everton over the last seven months,” read a statement from the club’s soon-to-be new chief executive Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale. “Sam was brought in at a challenging time last season to provide us with some stability and we are grateful to him for doing that. “However, we have made the decision that, as part of our longer-term plan, we will be appointing a new manager this summer and will be commencing this process immediately. Again, we’d like to place on record our sincere thanks to Sam for his work with us over the last few months and wish him well for the future.”
Allardyce is brought in for a specific job and he's very good at doing it. From the outside looking in, he's done all he possibly could and finished high up. Having to sit through **** football every week isn't ideal though and is probably only accepted to get results at the lower end of the table. No doubt he'll have another job offer from a team in the bottom three come October.
Another 6 million added to the paid off fund. He was employed to keep them in the money pit, job done. Odds on Big Sam ever being relegated from the prem? As above see which club sees him as the answer come Christmas. But probably get longer odds on Everton breaking into the upper echelon.
They finished 5 points behind Burnley. A defeat against West Ham would have seen them in the bottom three. That was Unsworth's last game of eight as caretaker, the win pushed them to 13th. The prize money for the final finishing position will no doubt please the money men. The way it was brought about was not to the approval of the fans. A dilemma, dour Big Sam football or another season in the prem? See who comes knocking next season.
They finished 8th, they aren’t a top 6 club so what exactly do they want ? They sold one of the best goal scorers in the country and replaced him with no one.
