Think Sheedy is still with the 18's.
There were reports that they followed him out the door. And they weren't on the bench on Sunday so I would presume that is correct! New manager will bring his own with him.

I love Dunc, but I struggle to see exactly how he has managed to survive the cull when every other member of Martinez's first team coaching set-up got the boot.
I'd be really interested to know why he wasn't tarred with the same brush

I was pondering this the other day, as Unsworth seems to have been given a relatively free ride courtesy of him being an ex-player and in charge of a good crop of youngsters. Yet he came out strongly in support of Martinez, which created the impression that he wasn't an apple that had fallen that far from the tree.
Is it possible that Duncan and Unsworth could have done their jobs despite being hugely opposed to the things they were asked to do?

Dunc was promoted to first team coach by Martinez, but was already at the club.
....perhaps nobody wants to tell him he's been sacked.

By all accounts Roberto had him on a leash. Seems almost like he was there as a gesture but not really allowed to influence much. Nothing could be blamed on him.
Whereas the others are all very much Roberto's men who were heavily involved in carrying out his style of football. They have no loyalty to Everton nor do I see what use they would be as any new manager will have his own people.

Yes bit strange, didn't seem to have any input,perhaps the fella with the bad wrist could be a challenge, get him up to speed like.
....I wonder if there was truly a half-time Jones/Barkley bust up at Sunderland.

One thing I'd love from our next manager is him to have a useful assistant manager.
Both Jones and Round before him seemed to be (albeit from my speculative vantage point) complete yes men.

Why would Unsworth be accountable for the failure of the first team? He had nothing to do with the day to day coaching of the first team until Martinez was sacked.
I wouldn't say he came out strongly in support of Martinez. He repeatedly said "a good man has lost his job" but that's about it. If you want to look how far the apple was from the tree, look how differently he sets up his U-21 team, and even how differently we approached Sundays game.

I heard he was kenwrights appointment and Martinez didn't really want him there. Hope there is a role for him under the new manager, even he steps down to help the younger lads.

I think the club were looking to Unsworth before Martinez arrived. Weir moved on (in part due to him not being involved with the first team set up, he interviewed very well for the managers job) and Stubbs was looking for a new Assistant and identified Unsworth who Martinez went along with. The rest of the staff who have stayed all predated Martinez. I think that's the key point in all of this, as opposed to any styles they had, was that they worked for Everton before he arrived.
I think what's also clear is they have loyalty to the club not a manager. Whatever happens next season I would expect Fergusan and Unsworth will be kept involved even if he went back to the Under 18's. In many ways if Mourinho comes I would hope he would promote Unsworth and Fergusan to first team coaches as he did with Clarke and Chelsea.
