Allardyce has been criticised by some sections of the Everton fan base despite leading the club into the top half of the table

Everton have sent a survey to some supporters in which they are asked to rate Sam Allardyce’s ability to get the best out of the team on a scale of zero to ten.

Members of the club’s Fans’ Panel have been emailed a questionnaire asking for a score based on the premise: “I have a high level of trust in the current manager and coaching staff of Everton eg in making the right decisions to get the best out of the team.”

Supporters are also asked to rate, on the same scale of zero to ten, their trust in the Everton players “being loyal and performing at their best” and the senior leadership team “in making the right decisions for the club’s future”.
