Monty Burns Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 2 minutes ago, LaticsLegend said: I was quite firmly against a change in manager so soon during a 'turnaround' season, but there is now no real footballing case to keep him in role. I've seen enough. Only way I could agree with anyone wanting to keep him on is that the pay off for him and his staff might be too much for us to cope with and put us in financial danger. There are zero signs of improvement, in fact he's taken us backwards with more resources than any manager could hope for in the middle of the season. It's quite difficult to understand his approach and how he doesn't see things everyone else sees. I genuinely believe that if you had put any pub team manager in charge of the same games with the same resources as DU has had, their points returns would be no worse than what he's achieved. ignoring the fact that none of the signings would come sign under such a hypothetical scenario yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Branston Pickle Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I don't think you even need someone as qualified as a pub team manager to do better than him. He's had about the same impact I'd expect a random bloke from down the local to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latics22 Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Asking the players their favoured position and telling them to just go out and play, would get more than two wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Regardless of your position less than 1 in 10 wanting to keep Unsworth is pretty bloody damning so soon in to his tenure, I stopped going to away games when he came in as the negativity was spell binding, went to Halifax since and that's it, plenty after yesterday saying the same now and this support is going to start hemorrhaging at a rapid rate now. 4 points and 6 goals away from home this season is a diabolical return from a dozen fixtures so this myth that going with extra defenders and keeping it tight blows any sort of Unsworth bullshit out of the water, invariably we are beat before we step off the team bus nowadays, Unsworth and Co are tactically inept and do not have a clue how to out smart any manager in this division, they stick to an almost regimented system of keeping it tight until we eventually concede, how fucking boring and tactically naive is that?. Honestly he should be made to listen to the first interview he gave, it's comedy gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Dean Smith has been sacked as Norwich City head coach after a run of just three wins in 13 Championship matches. David Unsworth is still in a job at Oldham Athletic Manager after a run of just two wins in 13 National League matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the just the instructions I mentioned in another thread from Neil Danns the new manager of Macclesfield to his players...last two league games both 4-0 wins.

Midsblue Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 If we’re talking to Graham Alexander then GA vs DU is no contest. Twitter suggesting we’re talking to GA plus DU has clause in contract whereby we can get rid on reduced terms… sounds like Ibby to be fair but here’s hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 On 12/26/2022 at 4:49 PM, latics22 said: We’re getting worse! Have people changed their minds? I said before the Notts County game (or double header) that it was a "must-perform" game rather than a "must-win". We clearly didn't perform and there's currently no evidence that he has what it takes to keep us up, let alone succeed in this league. So I'd sack him soon because the cost of relegation would be higher than paying off his contract. Can't believe that it's gone so badly, but it has. Unlike when Shez left where I didn't think there was an obviously better choice to take the gamble, at this point appointing John Askey on an 18 month deal would be an obvious step up and the right type of manager for this league. I'm certain that he could get a tune out of enough of the current squad to keep us up then progress next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming of course that random bloke was a bully, couldn't count to two (strikers), was incapable of making a tactical change and looked like he didn't give a toss whilst telling his staff most of them will be gone in a few weeks.

Its a fair response, but football managers up and down the country have done it - Brian Clough suggested shooting some Unsworth is an awful football manager but some are really dredging the floor to beat him with anything when all they need to do is refer to his Rats comment yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Just how many player's are we signing for Dave to get it right? Smacks of desperation and if only to keep our heads above water. If we get a beating again from county, he really has nowhere left to go but out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ndl1ne Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Cal McIntyre is doing wonders at Chester considering the mess he inherited from Johnson & Morley. He’s the Pete Wild of Chester, is a young coach who speaks well in a way you can tell he knows his stuff unlike Unsworth who is all sound bites. All hypothetical but is the profile we should be going for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
