David Unsworth - Temporary Manager

[The binman chronicles]

I've started to dislike him by association with Unsworth

I know what you mean i pretty much hate everyone connected to the club right now...

 

[Nicolas Hill]

Unsworth out asap

 

[JLW]

They obviously arnt responding to him are they

Right now am not sure any player actually wants to be in the team! And I’m being serious

We need a manager that can come in and immediately recognise that Ashley Williams is finished as a footballer.

He's not the only one - but the one that's causing so much chaos at the back..

Its like having a caretaker teacher in charge of class and the lunatics are running the asylum. Unsworth was never considered for the job and this is probably a sensible decision but it hasnt done him any favours in regards to managing this shower. The management didnt have any plan for a successor which has shown us as arrogant and unprofessional. The players have chucked unsy under a bus though not the other way round. The club will not turn this round until we remove the bad seeds.

Those comments amazingly are aimed at the likes of klassen, sandro vlasic and the like.

It just amazes me that they barely get a chance in the team and because of such a poor performance all round they will be dropped by him until the next Europa game and we do it all again.

That's not a manager talking. The same team minus these 'fringe' players got beat 3-0 against Lyon. I didn't see them getting dropped.

I reckon he'll regret what he's said by the morning. Never nice having watched that and having a microphone shoved in your face. Unsworth has been obsessed with giving these soundbites that he thinks the fans want to hear. Truth is that all we care about is seeing the team win.

Of course it isn't, we can't fix everything now, we can get a competent manager or caretaker though - doing nothing or keeping such a novice in charge any longer, and I really mean any longer is not an option we can even afford to contemplate

Getting the right manager is crucial. More so than acting instantly.

We can afford to burn a bit more of the season yet. But we can’t afford to get this decision wrong.

I just want some sign that we’re actively pursuing the right candidates.

'We made some changes to help them [our players!!].... and it worked'

Takes absolutely no blame here does he.

I’m sure Unsworth knows that. What choice has he had though?

 

[BrendanGOT]

From the interview he clarified he'll be in charge agaisnt Southampton anyway. We all know how that'll play out with no Niasse to save the day again. Need a manager ASAP, really can't say it enough and I'm sure the board know this, I only hope they act on it by next week. We are literally throwing away games.

Playing just the one centre back has got to be worth a shot when Williams is your only other candidate.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Just watched the interview and he said it was a chance for players who havent been playing to stake a claim and after we play and conceede in the manner that we did then those players cant complain that they are not in the team.

I reckon the board sacked Koeman believing Unsworth would come in and steady the ship. I think they're still probably hoping it turns around under him.

I think they thought he'd keep it steady until they hired someone else definitely. I only hope they're close to hiring that someone

They obviously arnt responding to him are they

It would be interesting to know how Unsworth would react if a club board member said "We asked David to make it difficult for us to give someone else the job. Unfortunately he has made this an easy decision".
