Everton manager Sam Allardyce insists his 'hurtful' dismissal by Newcastle over a decade ago has been consigned to the past.
The 63-year-old lasted just eight months at St James' Park as fans quickly turned against him but since then he has gone on to take charge of Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland, England and Crystal Palace before arriving at Goodison Park in November as Ronald Koeman's successor.
'It's been that long I have nothing but respect for the football club,' said Allardyce ahead of Monday's visit of the Magpies. It felt unjust but I have moved on.
