Everton have been linked with numerous names since the sacking of manager Ronald Koeman on Monday.
The Merseyside outfit were expected to challenge for a top-six place in the Premier League this season after being given an injection of cash from majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.
The club spent more than £100m on new recruits, which included Wayne Rooney, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Michael Keane and Jordan Pickford.
The results and performances on the pitch have not matched the ambition shown in the transfer market, which ultimately led to Koeman’s dismissal.
The Dutchman oversaw just two wins in nine Premier League games, and in that time the team mustered just seven goals and conceded 18.
At the moment, David Unsworth, who coaches the club’s Under-23s, is in charge of the team, but it is unclear whether he will be handed the role on a permanent basis.
Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes that Sam Allardyce would be a positive option for Everton.
The 63-year-old, who is known for grabbing teams out of the depths of relegation, is out of work since walking away from the Eagles at the end of last season.
While on Sky Sports’ The Debate show, Jordan said:
“I’d be looking at Sam Allardyce, every day of the week and twice on Sunday, because I think it would be the biggest job he’s had in football besides the England job. Bigger than Newcastle, than Sunderland, than Bolton, than Palace.
“I’m not saying this is a fire-fighting job. I’m saying Everton have got Leicester, Watford, Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Huddersfield coming up next.
“I’m looking at them and saying they should be getting decent points out of that. This is a correctional exercise, and then pushing up the league. I’m not saying Allardyce because he’s the perennial fire-fighter, I’m saying it because he’s one of the best coaches, best managers in this country.”
