Sam Allardyce claimed to have won “hearts and minds” during his spell at Goodison Park last season, but Toffees remained unconvinced. You can't blame them, writes Daniel Storey in FourFourTwo — there's more out there besides mere passiveness.

The majority of Everton supporters were happy that the club parted company with Sam Allardyce in the summer. They were appreciative of him moving the club away from relegation trouble, although few considered that as a likely eventuality anyway.
