Everton board split over handing vacant managerial role to former England boss Sam Allardyce
- Sam Allardyce met up with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri on Sunday
- However, there has been no contact between the two since then
- Diego Simeone, Sean Dyche and Marco Silva are candidates for Everton job
- David Unsworth has not been ruled out of the equation for the vacant role
Everton's board are due to meet on Wednesday with key figures said to be split over whether to offer Sam Allardyce the vacant manager’s job.
Former England manager Allardyce met Everton owner Farhad Moshiri on Sunday but there has been no contact since.
Moshiri’s seeming desire to lure Atletico Madrid’s Diego Simeone would not have impressed Allardyce, 63, who told one radio station he had not been contacted by the club.

Allardyce, Burnley’s Sean Dyche and Watford’s Marco Silva have all been identified as possible replacements for Ronald Koeman, who was sacked by Everton on October 23.
Caretaker David Unsworth is another contender for the full-time post.
Some among Everton’s hierarchy do see the logic in appointing Allardyce. He not only has a fine record for Premier League survival but he is also available.
