Does anyone know if there have been any dramatic change in our hunt for a manager? DU is very very short with the bookmakers now and I stand to win a hell of a lot of money if and when he's appointed? Still my no 1 choice regardless. Be greatful for any information ðŸ‘ðŸ».

As much as I hope you win the wad DPP. I would think this would be Moshi rolling the dice in the hope Unsy keeps us up till the end of the season. Because he can't get the man he really wants now.
Personnally I would rather we got this right now, not keen on rolling a dice.

Maybe giving Unsy another 4 games could be an option. That would give going to chance to get some results but if it doesn't happen then still plenty of time to appoint an allardyce type.

Looking at the fixtures we could actually give him 7 games up to and including the derby game. A couple of Euro games in there to get some time into the squad players. After the derby there are some winnable games for the then manager if it isn't Unsy.

Not sure I agree with giving managers monthly extensions. Players need to know what is going on long term, otherwise they will lose focus. Lose focus, lose games. We just can't afford for that to happen.

I agree to some extent but there just aren't enough quality managers to pick from mid season. Who can we realistically get in now to take us forward for the next 3 years or so. Unsworth can have the job for the rest of the season or longer if he can get the team playing well and get the confidence levels up. One thing we don't know about this squad is how good they are as a team. We might just find there is a really good team in there somewhere once some confidence comes back.

Agree with what your saying Smit, but we can't lose sight of the fact we were lucky against Watford. Had there keeper not gone off and then that penalty miss. And games prior to that we have been pants. So sorry don't see Unsy as much as I love him, is the one.

I know we were lucky and Unsy team selection has been a bit suspect too but I think the guys just need their confidence back and we have a good run of games up to the derby to get some confidence back. I wouldn't give him the job because I think it's too early for him. What scares me though is the thought of Allardyce coming in or us giving a 3 year contract to some unproven manager. If the right manager can be got then I'm all for it but I just can't see who we can get right now.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m now hearing it’s because the board are split. You never know what to believe! I agree on at very least giving him a run of games. I think he’ll pleasantly surprise a lot of us. COYB!
