Everton are planning a summer revolution — and it is not expected to include Sam Allardyce.

Big Sam is under increasing pressure at Goodison Park and the Blues are looking towards a younger manager, with Shakhtar Donetsk’s Paulo Fonseca at the top of their hit list.

Major shareholder Farhad Moshiri is leading the push for change, but it is understood chairman Bill Kenwright is also very much on board, too.

They are also set to bring in PSV Eindhoven transfer guru Marcel Brands - as we first revealed in January - and that leaves Steve Walsh’s position as director of football also under threat.

Everton went on a huge spending spree last summer but it has not pushed them towards the top four like they hoped. The £25million signing of striker Cenk Tosun in January — when they also splashed out £20m on Arsenal's England forward Theo Walcott — has also had mixed results.

The Tosun move has brought their transfer business into sharp focus, although he has netted four times in their last four league games, and Brands will be asked to shake up the squad once again over the summer.

Everton will look to overhaul coaching, scouting and technical staff as well, in an attempt to keep up with the Premier League's powerhouses.

The fact neighbours and arch-rivals Liverpool has gone from strength to strength has only heightened the Everton frustration and they have forward-thinking board members eager for change.

Allardyce took over a month to be appointed as sacked Ronald Koeman's successor in late November because there were reservations at the time. Although eventually they gave him a contract until 2019.

Despite the 63-year-old guiding them to safety — they already have 40 points, with seven games left, after winning three of their last five — the fans have not warmed to him and his position has come under increasing pressure.

Everton tried to get now-sacked Watford boss Marco Silva — this week linked with West Ham — to succeed Koeman earlier in the season, while Fonseca, 45, has caught the eye for the job he has done with Ukraine's Champions League regulars Shakhtar.

All sounds potentially promising so fingers crossed. I must've dozed off this season because I've completely missed that shower going from strength to strength, seems to me they're more or less the same as they were and most likely always will be under that nonce headed beaut
