Something tells me that the board have already wrapped up and potential manager and that Unsworth is aware of this - hence why he seemed to distance himself from the job today.
All said and done, I'm pretty sure that whoever comes in will do a better job than the previous two. We seem scarred defensively from Martinez, and bereft of confidence from the negative Koeman.
Moving on, I think it's imperative that we (as a club) have a long term plan in place to ensure that we don't find ourselves down this end of the table for too long.
Attitude from the players also needs to be spot on, whoever comes in. We're where we're at because of performances, but we're still early on in the season.
Losses against the likes of Leicester and Burnley have proven that we've ultimately regressed as a team - despite spending £150m in the summer.
Looking forward to the immediate future, we need to invest in a forward, and a left sided defender. Questions need to be raised about the board and their handling of transfers this summer. We missed out on Kolasinic and Giroud, and had no plan B. This simply cannot continue.
Aerially we look weak both defensively and offensively. Our set pieces (which should be the easiest part of the game to get right) are appalling, despite the fact we've signed a dead ball specialist in Sigurdsson. Whoever comes in needs to drill the players with defensive solidity and provide some form of structure in attack.
Reality bites, I understand - but I still believe that we can turn this season around. We've looked good in glimpses, it's just a matter of lengthening those glimpses into 20-30 minute phases.
Do I think we'll go down? I don't know, but we have plenty of quality in the squad that should (on paper) see us safe.
You can never be sure with a league as strong as ours, and I hope the players see it like that - otherwise we're in real trouble.
Coleman has been a huge miss though, and as much positivity I can take from young Jonjoe - he's limited when you compare it to the pace and width our first choice fullback can offer.
Everton though. Wouldn't change it for the world.
