David Unsworth - Temporary Manager

[Runcornblue52]

Klippety across the park isn't doing too badly and he took over in the middle of October.

Klippetty has the worst record of their recent managers..........Roy excluded

Well they're only five points above us at the moment, but while I grant your point, will you grant it's not without risk? Let's not pretend this is a big hire. We need to get it right. If that means giving it to Unsworth to prove himself this season, then what's the harm? Either he impresses and we have our man, or we buy time until May to get the right guy and give him a full Summer window.

Two of the biggest names are available now..Tuchel and Ancelotti That won't be the case next summer, as I'm sure which ever two managers out of last year's top 6 don't make champions league football this season, then I think they'll be sacked. Throw in the Bayern job, those managers won't be out of work next summer.

What I don't understand is why people consider Unsworth (who knows the club, the players and the staff) to be a massive risk, yet someone like Tuchel - who has zero experience of the Premier League and probably wouldn't be able to point out Goodison on a map - isn't.

I'm torn at the moment - I'd like to see Unsworth given a run of games to show if he's up to the job of turning the team around.

One developmental level and the other senior level answers that.. I doubt Mourinho knew where Stamford Bridge was before his appointment.
As an outsider I might be a bit disconnected from the average fans sentiments. I am not a Tuchel fan but I rate his work because of how he sets his team up. Basically, he is Martinez with a tactical know how and also trusts youngsters to do the job.

We've smashed £10m + on paying Martinez off, then paid £6m to get Koeman out of his Southampton contract, then paid what....£2m to get him out of ours? The price of failure eh?

It's a public job interview for Unsworth as I see it, if he does well next few games he'll get to the end of the season at most so options are kept open. We'll court Tuchel, see what he says and probably Dyche too. Can't see Tuchel committing unless he's guaranteed significant funds and how he sees the Walsh role. Can't see us doing another £5m+ managerial salary if it can be avoided.

Board will leave Unsworth in charge whilst the 'scour the world for the worlds best' only we all know it's really treading water hoping results turn under the interim so it saves another expensive outlay in January unless its really become desperate. Hope Unsworth does well, it'll be honest endeavour backed with a real passion for the Club. A good base to start with, hope the players respond and he gets a fair crack.

I don't agree with all of that categorically, but I certainly wouldn't be unhappy with Unsworth having a go at this scenario. We simply need wins, whatever happens to the manager's position.

Everyone knows that, our interim manager included. At this exact point in time David Unsworth should be in charge of Everton FC if the team is to maximize their chances of winning Sunday's match. It's virtually an objective truth!

His record on Wiki just shows one German cup win .........Not sure you should be comparing him with Jose

Is he a deluded fountain of phenomenal positivity with tactical know how mate

Hardly comparing like for like are we? Mourinho had would a few trophies with Porto, including the CL. Tuchel has won......? The German version of the FA cup?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against bringing in Tuchel in the slightest. But don't be comparing him to Chelsea bringing in Mourinho. Totally different level.

More about Chelsea than Jose. They did not settle.

All I'm trying to say is... He might not be the right fit for the fans after Martinez but he is tactically sound.

I really think waiting for January will be wise in terms of finding the right fit, unless the team keeps playing badly. I just hope Rhino has enough experience about being in a struggling team in the premier league to use it to some advantage

Hmm.

That can't be right because we were told when he joined by many posters on here that he was a top, top manager.

Maybe I should have waited for the Ancelotti thread to make this point.

Ancelotti would be much more comparable, he's won honours pretty much wherever he's gone. I think Ancelotti is a bit of a pipe dream though - just cannot see someone of his calibre taking on the manager's job of plucky Everton. His wages and transfer budget demands would make Moshiri's eyes water too lol

I was read some stuff of Tuchel last season on the football Reddit board,he supposed to be quite arrogant and aloof and that's tended to have pissed off the boards at Mainz and Dortmund,Some Dortmund players were fed up of him near the end of the season.

Dortmund fans had posted at that subreddit,more alarming both clubs were glad to see the back of him.

I think their is nothing wrong with self belief that could be misconstrued as arrogance,his teams play attractive attacking football i recall.

I think we'll end up with Unsworth or Dyche though,i just don't see this board doing anything bold and exciting so will go for a safe pair of hands.
