Been seeing some comments around his presser saying "love unsy give him the job"
"Get him in he talks sense" "give him a go until Jan"

This has always been a problem for fans - press conferences. Anybody can sit at a table and say what you want to hear but you can't give somebody a job based on that!

Remember when Moyes called us the peoples club and everyone wet themselves.

Martinez said its in our DNA and that suddenly became a club slogan.

Koeman was brutally honest about Stones, Ross and Rom and everyone was loving him.

Why do we do it? Everyone should be saying "Give Unsworth a chance to see what he can do and if it doesn't work out we get someone in"

I keep seeing comments like "I love this man"

Its about results on the pitch! He has played one game! Yes we seen positives but you can't give a man a job based on that!

This has been our problem for years. Why can't we just keep our mouths closed and let results do the talking?

I want Unsworth to do well, don't take this the wrong way. I would love to see him get offered a contract but WE CAN'T SAY IT YET! WE HAVE TO WAIT!

People complain we don't get treated like a big club, we are not going to when we cream ourselves over interviews because someone says "We are Everton." I want to see us win against Leicester but its going to be tough! They are a fighting team! Are our players up for a fight?

We go to Lyon next week to play another strong side and that is going to be hard.

To get results against those 2 teams will be some feat but please lets judge the manager on the next 5 or 6, not the next 1 or 2.

Do you think if Ryan Giggs sat down at a Utd presser and said "U.N.I....." do you think the Utd fans would say "Give this man the job, he gets us" NO. They would base it on results because they know what success looks like.

We, as a fanbase are happy to have a manager who understands us. Yes, I like that as well but I also want to see results!

Please, anybody who thinks I am bashing here, I'm not. I am fully behind any man who gets in the seat but I am also smart enough not to be taken in by words. I will judge performance and results.

Completely agree, everyone is getting carried away because Unsworth is talking about how much he loves the club. Unsworth is a smashing feller, no-one would deny that. But we can't be sentimental about this, we have strikers who don't score, and defenders who can't keep clean sheets, not a good combination for a team in the bottom three.
 
This is what I just posted on the Dyche thread and Unsy might as well stay as interim...

ANY manager taking over is going to have the same immediate problem:
Most of our first team defenders are squad players at best.
Past their sell by date. With respect Jags, Williams and Baines.

Yes. We lost the goals of Rom, but the successful teams traditionally fix the back first and build from there.
Pickford. Great signing. Keane an improvement on the old guard.

Dyche or anybody else will struggle to stop this current squad leaking goals.
Tescos are marketing a new sieve 'more holes than an Everton defence'.

Point being, any new man needs a free pass to the transfer window, which will be nightmare when teams know you are desperate.
May as well leve the job with Unsy as a new man has major issues ahead and a fanbase a long time drained of tolerence.

Just putting it out there.
 
Would any other premier league club want Unsworth to be their first team manager?

I don't believe they would. I don't want a sentimental appointment, I want the best man for the job. In my opinion Unsworth isn't. He needs to go elsewhere and learn his trade, winning u23's is not enough to give him the job of bringing Everton back to life.

A few defeats and the same people will be calling for the next manager.

I don't know why people can't hold it together and I completely agree with what Bungle wrote in his thread

Not necessarily. The performances are important too, it was awful under Koeman, both in terms of performance and result. That's a deadly combo for any manager. We need the best manager we can get. I don't believe Unsworth is that man.

We will never know who the best manager for us will be. We've had no consistency with any manager of recent years.
