he won in Europe too no main feat!

Thats right, compare the old European cup with the modern day Champions League.
Yeah there both the top flight league in this country! The point is not many clubs did what Liverpool did with Paisley. At the time there was a lot of doubt about it. Sometimes it's the right move, sometimes it isn't, depends on the person and the situation. Equally it's nonsense to just say these things don't work because clearly, like Paisley, they sometimes do.
Exactly, he became the most successful manager Liverpool have ever had!
Come to me Phillip.
Clown.
Genuinely can't think of an in house promotion of a coach (who wasn't a huge name) in the modern premier league that has gone especially well. Houghton did ok at Newcastle, Monk at Swansea, O'Leary was decent at first..
Others?
So 1 manager in 130ish years of top flight football.
Lets assume that most teams have kept the same manager for at least a season, thats 130x20 = 2,600 managers.
Lets take the 1 in 2600 chance!
Craig Shakespeare, Tim Sherwood, Alan Shearer, the list is endless!
That's because most of the time it doesn't work. Can you think of loads in the old first division, because I can't. Depends on the situation and the person who's promoted. Doesn't mean it can't happen with Unsworth.
Well if Liverpool thought like that they wouldn't have won 6 league titles, 3 European cups and 1 UEFA cup would they?
Now to be fair that would've been great from an Everton point of view.
But if you’re assessing the risk of doing it then you consider it very rarely works, so why would this time be any different?
Especially when the peers you’d be putting him against would be some of the best in the world in that particular field. And his employees some of the most entitled and privileged.
Cool heads and good strategy wins in time of crisis.
Thought of one of course. Took over a rank average team after coaching the youth team and let them to 3rd place finish in the Prem.
Mike Walker!
The thing is mate, most people currently want Koeman sacked. Now yes Unsy is a blue and you would hope he would be given time, but time is a luxury that very, very few modern Premier League managers get, Moyes got plenty of time, Martinez did as well to be fair and would assume Koeman will get a little bit longer.
Could Unsworth do a good job? Well nobody knows, cos as Azul pointed out above hes never actually managed a senior side, could I do a good job? Who knows, so why not just appoint me? Why is Unsworth a better option than you? Or me? Or even Joey? We are all blues, none of us have managed in the league.
Roll the dice and appoint me, I won the league on FM once in my first season as Everton, now granted I cheated a little bit and signed Zlatan and gave Joao Moutinho 199 CA, but im as qualified as Unsworth!!!
Ricky Sbragia was the last winner of the U21/U23 league to be given a top flight job, he lasted 8 months.

Every managerial appointment is a risk. You have to make a judgement on the person concerned. If you don't risk anything then frankly you're never going to achieve anything. We've got a situation where we could sack Koeman, who's taking us nowhere, and give Unsworth a go until the end of the season. We'll know then if he's up to the job and if not we've got the end of the season to get the right man in. Keeping Koeman is a strategy that gets us nowhere. Cool heads and all that
Everton are infested with a small time losing mentality so I'm not sure why we'd even consider an internal appointment. No one can escape it.
