Daily Mail | January 25, 2023

Sam Allardyce has opened up on the 'broken' state of affairs at managerless Everton.

The struggling Toffees, 19th in the Premier League and level on points with bottom side Southampton, sacked boss Frank Lampard on Monday in a desperate bid to avoid relegation.

And former Everton boss Allardyce told William Hill and Footy Accumulators' No Tippy Tappy Football show that managers like Carlo Ancelotti and Rafael Benitez haven't been the problem - but the deeper infrastructure of the club.
