Everton apologise to Allardyce for survey
Everton boss Sam Allardyce says he has received an apology from club chairman Bill Kenwright after a survey was sent to supporters asking them how much they trust the manager, players and coaching staff.
Everton head coach Sam Allardyce received an apology from the club chairman Bill Kenwright, after a survey was conducted on the trustworthyness of the manager, players and coaching staff.
Club supporters were sent an email and invited to answer a series of questions that probed their thoughts and reactions to the current management.
Allardyce said: ''The survey...the managing director of marketing and communications has clearly slipped up. Even though I believe the survey has been recently passed out before, from my point of view it was a big mistake.''
He jokingly noted that: ''It has allowed [the media] to write some beautiful headlines on that situation.''
Allardyce was asked if he had received an apology from club hierarchy, and responded: ''Off the chairman, yes.''
One of the questions asked the participant to rate whether they had a high degree of trust in the manager and coaching staff at Everton. When asked what he would have rated himself, Allardyce joked: ''P*** off! Eleven!''
