The only other time I can remember the footballing world was shocked and disappointed that a club they didn't support sacked a manager was Ranieri. He won Leicester the league, Sam got us 8th. How good is Sam's pr connections tactics?
Southampton sacking Nigel Adkins and bringing Poch in? And Hull giving Marco Silva the job over 'someone who knows the league'.

Allardyce exits Everton after six miserable months with his reputation as a survival specialist intact. Therein lies the failure. Everton, as the 63-year-old admitted when installed as Ronald Koeman’s replacement in November, represented the best opportunity of his club career to shatter preconceptions about his management style. He succeeded only in confirming they were legitimate. Wretched football on a weekly basis, taking responsibility for victory while abdicating it in defeat and an arrogant dismissal of supporters were not the basis for building consensus or hope for the future. Not that the Everton hierarchy have delivered on that score.

Fair play to The Guardian

I suppose my point was despite the poor fair on the pitch the finishing position as a result of the position Sam achieved has actually been a huge positive for the club in terms of finance.

Despite the poor atmosphere, awful recruitment and awful football in real terms we finished one place below where we did last season, in monetary terms thats a huge thing for Everton, despite what we had to suffer on the pitch.

I appreciate that if im honest so im grateful to Sam.

Premier League clubs are just about guaranteed £95 million for this season.

BFS has spent around £60 million in transfer fees - ignoring the cost of wages - to gain an extra £30 million from the Premier League.

I don't call that a very good return. I think that many mangers have done a much better job for their clubs.

I hope we can start next season with a new manager and a new ambition.
 
some of these ex-players who are now pundits have clearly been blinded by the media love in for Allardyce. they will be eating their words in a few months time.
