    Would Roberto Martinez still be in a job if Everton had reached the FA Cup final? Maybe. But he is sat at home feeling miserable because his team have not fulfilled their potential this season.

    "We've got top players and some of our performances, from what I have seen, have been outstanding," says caretaker manager David Unsworth.

    "The fine margins at the very top level are so small. We reached two cup semi-finals and came close to reaching a major final.

    "It is hard for any manager or any team when those fine margins have been taken away from you."

    Terry deal suits all partiespublished at 14:24 British Summer Time 13 May 2016

    John Terry's offer of a new one year contract will go down very well with the Chelsea fans. 

    It's been quite a turnaround. In January it appeared that Terry's days were numbered when he said he'd not been offered a contract and expected to leave with the club moving in a "different direction." But in the last few weeks the pressure from the fans has grown and it's become increasingly likely that he'd be offered a new deal, which had come to pass.

    Terry has played it well, though admittedly we don't know what the deal is, and he'll now make a decision but it appears he will extend his 20-year association with the club and the ignominious sending off at Sunderland will not be his final act as a Chelsea player.

    Of course it isn't Roberto Martinez facing the media at Everton today - so who is it? A familiar face....it's David Unsworth!

    The former Everton, West Ham and Sheffield United defender, now the Toffees' under-21 coach, will take charge of Sunday's clash against Norwich.

    "It was a difficult day yesterday for everyone at the football club." he says.

    "I've been in football for forever and seen many managers lose their job - it is never an easy day. A good man has lost his job. But that’s football - managers have got to win matches."

    What have you got to say about it, Ronald?

    "There is time next week before I go on holiday to talk about the future for the club."

    Andy Murray dropped his first service game against David Goffin to love but has not looked back since, winning six straight games to take the first set 6-1

    Goffin has already worn a groove in the court where he's been repeatedly forced to slide in and collect Murray drop shots.

    Murray is one set from his first Rome semi-final in five years.

    Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs manager now rather than head coach remember, talks about meeting Sir Alex Ferguson for lunch.

    "It was fantastic, a dream come true. When I started my career as a manager, he was always my inspiration, my reference.

    "He is a person we can all learn from. He has a fantastic history in football and in life."

    So he wasn't there in his capacity as a Manchester United director, then?

    As Everton's search for a new manager intensifies, Goodison legend Joe Royle and the former Blues defender David Unsworth are in charge for the final game of the season. But who will replace Roberto Martinez permanently is the only real topic of conversation.

    Frank De Boer is the odds on favourite with the bookmakers, but Southampton manager Ronald Koeman would have to be near the top of any potential shortlist.

    There's little need for Everton to rush into an appointment, but Euro 2016 will clearly hinder possible recruitment plans for the new manager.

    "I spoke to the chairman this morning and he thanked me for keeping the ship going," said Black, who joined as assistant to Remi Garde. "But come Sunday, I'll just wait and see what happens."

    Villa have injury doubts over defenders Alan Hutton (calf) and Ciaran Clark (ankle), although striker Rudy Gestede trained on Friday and could be available.
