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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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