Sam Allardyce has left Everton manager seat to the universal joy of fans. Departure hasn’t come smoothly however, with Big Sam reportedly «disgusted» by Toffee’s both decision and actions – veteran coach has been stealth-sacked while he was busy being presented with a special award at League Manager’s Association dinner. Indeed, 63-years-old has been heralded for reaching impressive mark of 1000 games in professional management when Everton owner Farid Moshiri left him out without real warning although Allardyce still has 12 months left on his contact.
Big Sam reacted immediately:
I’m shocked, disappointed and disgusted that the football club didn’t have the decency to tell me, my Director of Football and my staff about the changes. They must have been in the pipeline for a considerable time but no-one thought to tell me and my staff. I’m pretty disgusted. I came into the football club with the team struggling and we have finished 8th in the table. I’m more than happy with what myself, my staff and the players have achieved from when I came in.

Everton had extremely poor start of the season and when Allerdyce took the job in November they were 13th (15 points in 14 games) and they finished 8th which is barely a good improvement but still the fashion they treating their men is bit frustrating.
I think it is a good news for Everton supporters and funs!
The season was very bad for this team and in the second part they had a lot of problems
Great news!!!
Seems a bit harsh - 8th was probably as high as they could finish given where they were in the table when he took over. Job done Big Sam
