​Allardyce exits from race to be new Everton manager

Sam Allardyce has ruled himself out of the running to be the next Everton manager after being put off by the club's indecision.

"It never materialised as I thought it would, unfortunately," Allardyce told talkSPORT.

"For me such a long time without a decision (meant) I had to make a decision myself.

"The decision was it was probably better it wasn't me, and I'd move on to something else. It would have been a fabulous job, but it just didn't feel right.

"I think when you're sat in my position you want people to be decisive and feel like they want you. I didn't get that feeling overall. They were hesitating that I was the man."
