Yeah for once a mirror article I could read without wanting to pluck my eyes out.
Seems to be an awful lot of media reports tonight. I think this is drawing towards the inevitable end of season parting of company.

Sam Allardyce calls for clarity on his Everton future following bizarre PR questionnaire blunder as he jokes he would give himself '11' out of 10
Sam Allardyce has called for clarity on his future after being left embarrassed by a question in a club survey.
The Everton manager has received an apology from chairman Bill Kenwright after a PR fiasco that came to light on Tuesday. Everton sent an email to season ticket holders and club members in which they were asked to rate Allardyce's suitability to lead the team and provide a mark out of 10.
Given that Allardyce is the subject of growing discontent from Evertonians, the timing could not have been worse and he gave a stinging rebuke in his weekly press conference to the club's director of marketing, who he claimed doesn't understand football.
There was one moment of humour, when Allardyce joked he would give himself '11', but he was clearly disappointed. Now Allardyce, 63, hopes Farhad Moshiri, Everton's major shareholder who appointed him last December, will provide assurances about his future.
Asked whether Moshiri should calm the situation, Allardyce said: 'I'm not going to tell you what I would do but I would agree with what you say, yes.' Pressed on whether there had been any dialogue with Moshiri, Allardyce replied: 'His life is hugely, hugely busy in terms of what he does, running a massive, multi-billion-pound company. The direction from him has to come from the people he chooses below him at the club.'
Moshiri has not spoken since the club's AGM in January. He attends matches at Goodison Park, but day-to-day affairs at Everton are run by his right-hand man Alexander Ryazantsev, who has an office at the club's Finch Farm complex.
Moshiri was also responsible for the appointment of director of football Steve Walsh, who is clinging to his job. Marcel Brands, PSV Eindhoven's technical director, has been lined up to replace him.
'The director of marketing and communications has clearly slipped up,' added Allardyce. 'Our department has not been asked what we think of the survey, even though it has been passed out before. From my point of view — and the football side's point of view — it was a big mistake.
'Our director of marketing does not have a great understanding of football and how football works. He is into marketing. He must have thought it was the right thing to do but clearly, everyone else hasn't — even the chairman, who I have spoken to.
'It's not healthy for me, not by any stretch of the imagination. It only adds more pressure. But I have to have a skin like a rhino. And I have a skin like a rhino. I don't bear any malice towards the marketing director. But it was extremely unfortunate for me that this survey came out.'
Here we go, what I dont understand is why he should have an issue with the survey? Does he not care what the fans think? As far as I understood he thinks hes done a good job, so why he should he fear "15 people on social media".
Stick a fork in this clown, hes calling The Mosh out asking for clarity, hes gonna get a massive dose of that very soon!!!!!!!!!!

I never said it was.
An appointment like Allardyce should never happen at Everton. If they had made a sensible appointment of someone worthy of being in charge of a club our stature, then there would be no issues regarding anything being untenable.
Perhaps he was asking for claret.
I`d be more than happy with tomorrow

Then I don't see your point tbh mate. They didn't change at crest because the fans hated it. They changed it because it was crap and everyone could see it.

If it was crap and everyone could see it, why use it in the first place? My point is, you made a statement saying the club don't care what the fans think and don't change things in response to fans' opinions; the crest climbdown shows that's not always true.

Interesting then that Ryantzev as Moshiris man with an office at Finch Farm has ,up to this point, not popped out of his office and given Allardyce a pat on the shoulder and said "Don't worry mate your safe as houses for next season", is it not?
Almost like he's not safe, innit.
