End for Unsworth?

[Bunner]

Why does he have a budget to buy players for the u23s.

 

[overkill]

Having been overlooked for the temp position despite winning trophies he must surely realize it's time to move on if he wants a proper career as a football manager.

Unless hes happy being a youth coach

 

[Seathestars]

His job isnt to win titles with the u23s though its to develop players for the first team. Of which he has provided none?

You have a point here. We could do with a few diamonds coming through.

He had the chance to show how good he thinks he is when that lower league team came in for him a few years ago,totally forgot team it was,considering he says he wants to be a boss,that was his chance to show what he was about,but he wanted to stay with the u23s

It was Oxford, and he spoke to them fully prepared to join them. But Oxford is basket case of a club and he just didn't fancy it.

This
And for all you or we know he turned down the chance to make a pigs ear of it again...or they didn't ask him

.
One last time -- they did though

 

[Bungle]

Coming back from 2-0 to win a PL game. Beating WHU 4-0. The Southampton game was the one that really did for him, you can ignore the EC games since he wasn't able to pick the strongest sides. He was totally let down by some of his senior players at Southampton, who basically went on strike. The turn round in effort and peformance 5 days later was remarkable.
So, to recap, he was in charge for 5 league games and in those games he came back from being behind (something Silva failed to in 60 games in charge) and annihilated the opposition in a key 6-pointer. For a manager who had no previous PL experience and who was always facing a challenge to get the senior players respect I don't think he reserves the abuse on here from some.
Anyway, as I said before he wasn't overlooked.

All the best David

 

[Toffeelover]

Not bothered either way.

 

[Berenger]

It ended for him when he demonstrated he couldn't set up a defence at Southampton and we had to bring in Allardyce to save the day.

Maybe he wants the job he has

 

[TheBigIguana]

why? he's a top youth manager, he's happy with that.

He's not though. The goal of youth management isn't to win things it's to advance the players and we have 1 player who played under him in our team right now.

Which player?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Which player?

Davies.

At least I think.

Okay, so Mason Holgate and Dominic Calvert-Lewin doesn't count then.

 

[Goat]

Okay, so Mason Holgate and Dominic Calvert-Lewin doesn't count then.

Well no mate, cos we didnt train them to be pros.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Okay, so Mason Holgate and Dominic Calvert-Lewin doesn't count then.

They were purchased from clubs where they had already broken into their first teams.
Apart from short terms of settling them in ,he can claim almost no credit for their development.
