3 reasons why Sam Allardyce is the perfect fit for Everton

Big Sam on the verge of taking Toffees job

Everton are in crisis at present. The Toffees have won just once in 12 games. Knocked out of the Europa League in humiliating fashion and sitting 17^th in the Premier League, something drastically needs to change at Goodison Park.

However, a turning point may have arrived. The club now look set to appoint Sam Allardyce as the club’s new manager.

While Big Sam might not be the most glamorous appointment, the Coral News Team believe he’s exactly what the club need. Here’s why…

He’s a master at staving off relegation

As Newcastle United and Aston Villa have proved in recent years, no club is too big to suffer relegation from the Premier League. The drop is a very real threat for an Everton side who have shipped the most goals in the division – 28 in 13 games.

In that regard, Allardyce is the ideal fit. Despite taking over at several Premier League clubs in dire straits, he’s never been relegated from this division.

That included his great escape with Sunderland in 2015-16, as the seemingly-doomed Black Cats took 12 points from their last six games to secure safety.

It doesn’t tend to be pretty, but the 63-year-old knows how to make his sides tough-to-beat and bring confidence back to players who have lost belief. Based on Everton’s recent collapses against the likes of Southampton and Atalanta, that boost in self-belief is something they desperately need.

Savvy operator in the transfer market

To say that the money recouped from the sales of John Stones and Romelu Lukaku has been misspent is putting it lightly. Big-money signings like Gylfi Sigurdsson, Davy Klaasen, and Sandro Ramirez have all failed to impress in L4 so far.
