the_mighty_bosh Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 So, as it's looking like Unsworth, what do we expect from him? Or should I say, what results would get him sacked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fervid Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 And apparently the signing today form Wigan is Unsworths doing, again don’t shoot the messenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ndl1ne Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Chuffed with this. Bound to lean towards youth, was well respected at Everton and had some good results there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO NO NO - PLEASE - utterly useless. (sorry just caught up with the thread - Unsworth will be okay IF he is given enough time AND sufficient backing. Hopefully build a team around promising youngsters rather than "past it" cart horses like Porter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Unsworth is fine with me. Bags of coaching experience. He'll really want to prove himself, especially given his age. He's not a totally inexperienced young manager or an older coach who is a bit long in the tooth and might be lacking in motivation. I've just had a look at the very long list of betting odds. I hadn't thought about Michael Carrick. Could've been an interesting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookies just make as long a list as possible to entice unwary punters. It's doubtful 95% of those listed would be interested at all but would agree Carrick may have been intriguing.

longtimeblue Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Can't say it's a massively exciting appointment. But equally, he's got the kind of credentials we should be looking at if we're taking a punt. It was right for Shez to step aside. We knew what he was about and I'm not sure time was going to make a difference. With Unsworth, any massive fuck ups aside, he needs to be given this season and next and a bit of time to make his stamp. Ideally he can get us in and around it this year and into next season on an upward trajectory. Still early days this season and it's not over but I'll take progress at this stage.

We should be in and around the playoffs in this league. But I’d take a top half finish for the first time in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Jevons might be one he'd consider, ex Everton u23s coach who's out of work I think. he also played in non league at Hyde and Stockport so will know that scenario.

Careca9 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Be disappointed with unsworth or anyone who hasn’t managed before. It’s a decent opportunity and therefore we should be picking someone who has shown they can do it rather than chance it on someone totally unproven which is just a massive risk as can go either way.

Proper jobs for the boys and two people who have absolutely no experience at this level. Shame because that's next season written off as well. Promotion for 2024/25 hopefully, if our board fancy it that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
