Allardyce closes in on Everton deal
SAM ALLARDYCE is edging closer to becoming Everton’s manager as talks continue over the vacant role. Discussions are understood to be positive as the club and former England manager iron out their differences over the length of contract.
Allardyce wants the role beyond the end of the season, and Everton’s eagerness to re-open negotiations is proof of their willingness to compromise.
The urgency and precariousness of Everton’s situation means action is needed and the 63-year-old former Bolton, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace manager is now poised to take over before this weekend’s visit of Huddersfield.
