Sam Allardyce is set to take over reins at Everton... so how has he fared at his previous six Premier League jobs?

Sam Allardyce will complete a magnificent seven when his appointment as Everton's next manager is confirmed.

Big Sam has taken charge of six other clubs in the Premier League; Bolton, Newcastle, Blackburn, West Ham, Sunderland and Crystal Palace – besides a brief spell managing England.

Life is never dull with him around as Everton fans are to find out.

He took Bolton into Europe, pulled off great escapes at Sunderland and Crystal Palace, and is proud of the fact he's never been relegated.

But he's also been sacked twice, had his contract allowed to run out at West Ham and has been criticised for playing long-ball football.
