Romance is better than this Dutch Numpty who cannot even select a team to win!..these things can get too romantic. I’d prefer to look at the job Unsworth is doing with the U23s and use that to justify if he should be considered for the post. For the points I made in the last few days, I think he should be considered, but none of those were because he’s an ex-player.
If Unsworth made the step up again it’s a bit romantic to say he should be assisted by Royle and Ferguson. I suspect Unsworth would want his own people around him. He appears to work well with John Ebbrell. Royle appears to be fine in the role he has.
You mention the Boot Room, I think it was a Red in Souness who went a long way in breaking that up.
