Sam Allardyce would 'consider' Everton job
Last updated on .From the section Football
Former England boss Sam Allardyce says he would consider an approach from Everton.
The Toffees, who are in the relegation zone, sacked Ronald Koeman a week ago, with caretaker boss David Unsworth losing his first two games in charge.
Allardyce left Crystal Palace in June, five months after joining the club.
Asked about the prospect of the Everton job, he told Bein Sports: "Who knows? I'd have to consider that, if that phone call happens."
He added: "There's no point in speculating at the moment. David Unsworth is in the chair."
Under-23s manager Unsworth says he wants the Everton job on a full-time basis.
"It looks like it's really going to be tough for Everton to get out of that position," added Allardyce - who has managed Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland and Palace in the Premier League.
"They know what the problems are, they just perhaps want a bit of guidance now how to rectify those problems.
"I've been in this position a number of times in the last three clubs I've had and I'd just put the team back to basics."

"Millionaire admits that if a certain Billionaire offers him millions of pounds to coach a football team he'll consider it."
Nett result, Everton worse off financially, Koeman sacked, and Martinez coaching one of the top ranked teams in World football.
Molar..... Be careful what you wish for.
Allardyce is anything but an Average manager. How he managed to keep up Sunderland and Palace in the past 2 seasons is simply miraculous when you look at where they are now. What he did at Blackburn, Bolton and West Ham was simply amazing and he deserves far more respect for what he has done in his career
Imagine the bungs he'd have been able to extract from all those summer deals. He'll be lucky to steal £50k from panic signing someone like Robert Snodgrass or flogging Aaron Lennon in January.
We should be asking how have w allowed foreign influence to have poisoned our own game so badly.
Just now
"Well he will certainly get them back on track but first they HAVE to ditch the 'Rooney System', it just hasen't worked for them this season!
By all means keep him on the bench to sell shirts"
"On the bench to sell shirts"???- surely it would better to put him in the club shop for that
Seriously, if football is going to get cleaned up, how about 5yr/10yr/lifetime bans? Otherwise what standards are we setting to children?
For all of the great PR that goes on in clubs about racial chanting & tackling homophobia, we'll still turn a blind eye to that behaviour...
I bet he would, that dishonest £400,000 that got him sacked from England must be running out.
