Should Everton look at Burnley manager Sean Dyche?
Unsworth is in charge of the Everton first team at the moment following the departure of Ronald Koeman.
The 44-year-old former defender initially struggled to get positive results, but on Sunday evening, he oversaw the Toffees come from two goals down to win 3-2 against Watford at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
Former Tottenham and West Brom forward Crooks does not think that Unsworth should be given the Everton managerial role on a permanent basis.
The BBC Sport pundit has suggested that the Toffees should look at Burnley manager Sean Dyche.
Dyche, 46, is doing a wonderful job at Burnley with limited resources and with a team assembled on a modest budget.
The problem is that Burnley may not be willing to let go of their manager, who himself may not be too keen on taking charge of a struggling team in November.
“In the absence of other exotic managers, Dyche fits the Everton job specification perfectly,” Crooks wrote on BBC Sport.
“An English manager with suitable Premier League experience, can work to a budget, a good record in the transfer market and can spot a player. What else do Everton want?
“I have a lot of time for David Unsworth but the Premier League is not a job centre looking for worthy applicants or, worse, Opportunity Knocks.
“Would-be candidates should have a track record or have something to show that they can at least do the job.
“If Everton want to give Unsworth a crack then that’s fine, but the new owner needs to understand this is Everton and not Melchester Rovers.”
