KEVIN CAMPBELL reckons Sam Allardyce will not be in charge of Everton next season.

The former Toffees striker who spent six years on Merseyside does not believe Big Sam is the right man to take the club forward and expects majority shareholder Farhad Mosihiri to make a change this summer.

Allardyce has steadied the ship somewhat – Everton were in freefall after the dismissal of Ronald Koeman and then David Unsworth taking over on an interim basis.

The Toffees are ninth in the Premier League with a top seven finish still a possibility.

Campbell told : “Well I anticipate a change.

"Everton were in such a difficult spot when Big Sam took the job.

"But with the furore what happened with new money coming in, investment going into the squad, the Evertonians were upbeat.

"It hasn't quite worked out how they wanted to but, again, if they win against Burnley on Saturday they're joint-seventh.

"Would you have taken that before the season? Of course you would.

"But the Evertonians know, look, it's time to start putting down a foundation and for me I don't think Big Sam's the answer."

Everton will look to bounce back after last Saturday’s defeat at Watford with three points at Burnley this weekend.
