    Sam Allardyce sacked at Everton

    Everton Football Club can confirm that Sam Allardyce has left his role as manager.

    Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale said: “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. 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.”

    Cue the 'Neil Lennon is a certainty for the job' claims

    Big Sam did what he was brought in to do, avoid relegation, but the football was very much Lexo/Levein style, absolutely brutal to watch

    They were something like 13th in the table. The idea he saved then from relegation in a misnomer.

    He watched them win 4-0 from the stand which took them to 13th. But prior to that match they were 2 points off drop zone, so with a bad appointment they could have gone down.

    And Allardyce took credit for that win as well. As a bit of a Blue, glad he’s gone. Shocking football and crass arrogance as well

    Where do they expect to finish? He maybe didn't save them but he has them punching their weight. Looking at the table where they have ended up looks about right for a club like Everton. The only club above them I can understand them being upset about, realistically speaking, is Burnley.

    Both did the job they were brought in to do and will depart hugely rewarded-Moyes allegedly £2million for avoiding relegation and Allardyce with a year paid up and not having to work to get it.So I’m not sure who the numpties are.

    I don't see why they sacked him, Everton aren't going to be anything other than a 6th/7th placed team. The only difference this season is that Burnley have done better than everyone expected.

    Because the football was turgid.

    Everton knew what they were getting when they brought him on board - his job was to stop the rot and it worked.

    Although he managed Liverpool, I always felt Brendan Rodgers would be a good fit for Everton.

    Liverpool are heavyweights and SHOULD be challenging for all major honours which may just be too much for Brendan (despite that one year) whereas a top 7 and FA Cup/Europa League success might be good enough for Everton so would be less pressures

    They still want that ex-Watford manager. The one that got acked after a string of poor results following Everton's failed bid for him.

    But they didn’t like Roberto Martinez’s swashbuckling style either.

    Pretty sure Everton have won more English league titles than anyone bar Man Utd and Liverpool (and maybe Arsenal), but I might be wrong. Moyes definitely had them finishing in the top 6 on a number of occasions but for so long now they've lived in Liverpool's shadow (even when Liverpool have been less than stellar Everton have still struggled to win many derbies). They had a brilliant team in the mid-80s but it must be frustrating to support them as their potential is rarely realised. Guess it comes down mainly to money these days.

    Allardyce is a solid enough boss but never seemed the right fit at Everton. Definitely just seen as a safe pair of hands to get them through a season which had turned sour. I'd be very surprised if Lennon was considered for the job. He's clearly a very fine manager but it's hard to imagine his appointment filling Everton fans with optimism.

    Hearts aren't anything more than a top 6 side, but plenty of them would want rid of Levein

    As they say, he was brought in to keep them away from relegation so I don’t think he would have had a very long contract and it might cost them very little.

    He’s got another season to run and Everton are paying it off to the tune of £6m according to rumours.

    Nice work if you can get it (although this figure will probably include pay offs to Big Sam’s extensive backroom team).

    SSN were reporting yesterday that Big Sam would be getting most of the £6 million. Don't know how much most is but probably enough for him to get by on for a wee while.

    There's not many professions that you lose your job but still walk out with big bucks at the end of it.

    6m was the fee being banded about in the press this week but I'd be surprised if it was that high.

    No doubt he will have pocketed a few million from it.

    Allardyce and his clique of English, semi-decent at best managers have probably made more out getting sacked than actually managing teams.

    Alex Miller and Graeme Souness are another two that spring to mind.

    Football’s been great for Sam Allardyce, but Sam Allardyce hasn’t been quite so great for football.
