David Unsworth - Temporary Manager

People75 · October 25, 2017

Great. No striker and no proven manager.
Fantastic.

Wouldn't it be more logical to get a top name as Manager, and Unsy as assistant Manager of the 1st team?
Far more logical to throwing him in from u/23 Manager.

He isn’t perfect and I hear that he is a bully to the kids at our fantastic club. The Academy coaches don’t rate him. He will take Everton down.

Remember he was sacked by Sheffiekd United and brought in by Alan Stubbs as his no2 at the then u21 level. Stubbs then moved onto Hibs and he assumed the u21 role. Yes, he won the u23 Premier League, but we have a fantastic group of young players coming through and also, it is not a priority of the other clubs.

When you hear the things he has done to some of those young players, he should not be in football. He is a bully.

He won’t succeed at Senior level as he will not be able to bully the experienced pros. I’m sure though his great tactics of ‘run your f-ing socks off’ will be a great success......

Not going too well for Michael at Fleetwood then, Mr Donohue?

I watched his press conference and got a buzz listening to him speak as an Evertonian and how he understands what it means to win. Lets see how it goes.

Negativity straight away, give him a chance, just think the last two managers were proven and look at the mess they left us in, the last one was in charge when we gift wrapped Lukaku and sent him to old Trafford on the cheap. The biggest problem is now gone, lets now get behind the team and move forward.

He is doing alright, as a u23 manager, to be fair. I see your point. Your right. Let's get behind the next manager and the team. We will take it from there. Thanks! COYB

I'm just pleased Koeman gone, everything he was doing was dragging the club down it was as if he was sucking all the life out of the players. I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall to see how Koeman was doing his job behind the scenes, I bet it would have been interesting.

Via video link from the 19th I believe.

When he got Phil Mitchell to cover for him on matchdays, he left the board with no choice really...

Blue83 · October 25, 2017

He has a 100% win record as caretaker manager

Granted Joe was assisting him and it was only 1 game against a relegated Norwich

But the stats don't lie!

Looking forward to the match today, let's see how he does before we start putting him down

Brilliant press conference I think he will do a great job.

Is it not more logical to appoint an interim manager whilst we look for a new Manager? Oh wait, thats exactly what we’ve done.

Hard first game to judge him on really, away to Chelsea. Hope overall he gets them going though.

No Williams! How can such things be?
On another note, with the winds of change blowing through can anyone tell me what Duncan Ferguson actually does?

He is a first team coach. Takes sessions with forward players especially. He doesnt have much to work with in fairness to him. One of the worst set of forwards in the premier.
He has blue blood and im sure will add something now that the dictator is gone.
