This is actually as spot on as you can get and one of the most intelligent comments I've seen on the forum for a long time. Unfortunately a witch hunt started against Sam from almost day one, it got worse following some bad form after his good start and it's at a point now of nearly no return for most fans.
Strangely I actually think he would have had more of a chance keeping his job if he got worse results but managed to keep us up on the last day of the season. He's been a victim of his one success because he got us out of danger so early and was expected to make this poor team into top 6 challengers instantly.
You can see by responses on these forums for anyone showing any kind of loyalty to Sam that they get shot down almost instantly. Why? Because we are supporting a manager who has taken us from a very bad place (both in league position and performances) to a very steady place and in a position to kick on next season.
Most neutrals would say Sam has done well since coming in. Not amazingly but certainly at least met expectations and therefore deserves a chance to see out his contract. Most evertonians think he has done terribly and needs getting rid of asap. It makes no sense to me.
I'm a neutral, and neither I or any of my football mates are biased for/against Everton.
Away from Everton, no one thinks Allardyce has done well and he isn't respected amongst football fans.
It may appear to a minority of EFC fans that's he's done very well, because Koeman left a mess, and Allardyce initially turned it around. But you never going down - many £100m's had given you a mid table squad, with some quality.
Allardyce will give you at best; solid, hard to beat, physical football. If he stays, your generous owner will give him a huge transfer budget this summer, where he'll buy in hard-nosed, physical players. Stabilising you as top half, but with uninspiring football.
My/our assessment is that like Martinez, he's not good enough for Everton Football Club. With Moshiri's money, you can become at least a player in the Europa League, playing with style and with a chance in the LC and FAC. But with the right manager.
Apologies if that upsets Allardyce's fans.
