Sam Allardyce will meet Everton’s majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, next week as his
future finally looks like being resolved.
Allardyce met Moshiri last month when he said he had received ‘clarity’ on his future. Evidently that was not the case, as he admits he
still is not sure if he will still be in charge next season.
Talks are planned after Sunday’s final game of the season against West Ham.
“There will be some meeting somewhere along the line next week, I wouldn't expect it not to be, would you?” said Allardyce.
“I would have thought with Farhad, yes. Depends what part of the world he's in, he's a busy man, runs billions and billions of pound companies. Sometimes his schedule is far greater than mine, so I'll drop into his schedule, whenever I possibly can, and meet him where I can, if that's what he wishes.
“He's got things to sort out, yes, we all have things to sort out. So, I mean, for me it's speculation, but at the end of the day we are where we are, what Farhad is thinking I'll find out when I see him. I can't speculate or predict what Farhad is thinking or isn't thinking. I've done all I can do, that's what I'll say to him, I can't do any more than that.”
Allardyce says everyone at the club
needs to know the direction.
“Well, the players will be speculating as will the staff, as will everybody,” he said.
“Speculation is one of the worst things to happen in a football club, results wise, because when the speculation starts – and there's a lot of speculation about me, about players and about everything else – it's difficult. But at the end of the day, the players have still done it on the pitch, I can't argue with that.”
