A few months ago, Sam Allardyce was something of a saviour on Merseyside, steering Everton clear of the Premier League's relegation battle after an abysmal start to the season under Ronald Koeman. But fast forward to present day, and all is not happy in paradise.

Indeed, in addition to results taking a sharp downturn following the bounce the November appointment initially provided, style of football has been a real sticking point with some fans - it must be said that Everton aren't performing in a manner you'd expect of a side hoping to break into the Premier League's big six.

But there are some counter-arguments to consider here, particularly that Everton are still aren't completely safe from the drop, so it's not as if Allardyce can allow the team to open up and play expansive football, and that he's inherited an imbalanced squad from Ronald Koeman.

With that in mind, we recently asked Everton fans whether Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright should sack Allardyce and the verdict of our poll was almost completely unanimous, with 96% wanting the former England gaffer to receive his marching orders.
