Whoever came in* would have to hit the ground running or I'd imagine the toxicity would turn towards the board. * still don't think Unsworth's going anywhere yet anyway. Mmmm, Williamson got Gateshead to the National league north semi finals in his first season. Finished 10 th in his second. Won National league North title the season after. And won that leagues manager of the season as well. The season after, lost in FA trophy final. And going well again this season. Plus Unsworth has managed Latics against his teams, is it 4? times, and has yet to win a game. This fella is just the kind of bloke we need. And let's face it, it would be impossible, for any other manager involved in football to be worse than what we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the worst we've had but surely we want to be after someone doing well. Seen a few names banded around, people who have failed multiple times.

I don’t think he would be given the time by our fans to implement that style. Especially the main stand who believe the answer is to knock it long. I don’t think Frank and Co could risk that appointment, as much as I would be for it. Rubbish.Nothing wrong with the fans.We are not fools and have shown incredible patience with this man.As a main stander your comments are insulting.All we want is a bit of football,consistency in team selection. tactics and the odd win.

I really doubt it. It's all about expectation levels. Ours are not unreasonably high and if we made the playoffs one season and finished mid table the next that would be way short of acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop generalising….A few weren’t impressed by the appointment of Unsworth and made it known on here early doors that is all! The football has been dire since his arrival but he’s had plenty of support due to the state of the team and the huge upheaval the club was going through when he came in! We have shown incredible patience and after more than 30 years of decline and disappointment the transformation at the club finally gave fans a hope that things would change. He’s had more than 50 games now and with the support he’s been given by our owners the very least fans expected was to be in and around the playoffs! Unfortunately, we are nowhere near that and the growing vitriol towards Unsworth is fully justified! Despite a move ‘FORWARDS’ after a welcome improvement in results after Xmas we’ve now gone ‘BACKWARDS’ ********UNSWORTH OUT******** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was fan restlessness in season two, I could understand the appeal for patience from certain factions as the evidence would be there from season one that he could do it.
