I actually feel Sam was a victim of his own success in a way.
Had he saved us and got us 15th or 16th, he would have gone anyway, but faced nowhere near the level of vitriol as he has in finishing 8th because a certain section of fans want to ensure he cant justify staying on.
I repeat had he scraped 15th/16th I dont feel he would have taken the abuse he has.
A potential case of "just say no" jeezI actually feel Sam was a victim of his own success in a way.

Most of what I take from this is that Allardyce gets 6m/year from us while Silva got 1.5m/year from Watford. Wtf were we doing paying Sam 6m/year?https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/14/everton-likely-marco-silva-sam-allardyce-rooney
Everton set to let Sam Allardyce go and target Marco Silva as successor.
Andy Hunter
Allardyce is scheduled to meet Everton’s major shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, in the coming days and his departure is expected to be announced by the end of the week. Allardyce is six months into the 18-month contract he secured in November and oversaw an eighth-place finish in the Premier League. But fierce opposition to his management style among the club’s supporters, allied to the hierarchy’s desire for a fresh start following a dreadful season, is likely to result in the 63-year-old leaving with a final year’s pay-off of around £6m.
Everton’s board will hold meetings over several key issues this week. It is also expected to hold talks with Wayne Rooney’s representative, Paul Stretford, with the former England captain seeking clarification on his Goodison future before deciding whether to accept an offer to join DC United in the MLS.
Silva is the front-runner to succeed Allardyce having been Moshiri’s preferred appointment when he sacked Ronald Koeman on 23 October. Hopes of a swift transition may be complicated, however, by a legal dispute between the Portuguese coach and Watford.
Watford sacked Silva in January following a run of one win in 11 matches. The club claimed in a statement that an “unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival” – Everton – led to a significant deterioration in Silva’s focus and results. The manager believed he was sacked prematurely and that he is owed six months’ salary, £750,000, and remains in legal dispute with his former employer over his settlement terms.
he had us bent over willingly with his demands cause we were desperateMost of what I take from this is that Allardyce gets 6m/year from us while Silva got 1.5m/year from Watford. Wtf were we doing paying Sam 6m/year?
