Unai Emery
Re: Unai Emery
Lets replace the bloke who won trophies and finished top 4 in Spain with Sevilla, and won the treble with PSG (remind me if Tuchel has managed that?).......with a bloke who won nothing in Spain or Portugal despite being with bigger clubs, and spent £120m+ to do for Wolves what Dyche did for Burnley on peanuts
Yay - reasons to be cheerful. Nuno Espirito Santo step forward.
As I said when Wenger was being eventually lined up to be axed.....who the fuck trusts this board and executive team to make the right appointment?

Re: Unai Emery
The bloke who benefited hugely from what Ancelotti and Laurent Blanc had set up at PSG before he rolled into town. And yes after his first season Tuchel has his first french league title under his belt which Dick didn't manage in his first year and some french wally cup too, not that it matters.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 7:00 pmLets replace the bloke who won trophies and finished top 4 in Spain with Sevilla, and won the treble with PSG (remind me if Tuchel has managed that?).......with a bloke who won nothing in Spain or Portugal despite being with bigger clubs, and spent £120m+ to do for Wolves what Dyche did for Burnley on peanuts

The problem is that whoever we put in charge is likely to fu.ck up with the ludicrous defence and midfield we have. Completely substandard and a millstone round the club's neck. We also need somebody with a bit of force to their personality who is prepared to boot our little darlings up the arse when they need it. The little fu.ckers need to be a bit scared of the manager and respect them, this lot don't give two fu.cks about our boss.
When you consider what NES has done at Wolves, yes Wolves and compare it to Dick's clueless team and stagnancy over the past 18 months I think the guy has achieved quite a bit. As for whether he would be a right fit for us or even stupid enought to take us on who knows. Quite frankly most top flight managers will be overlooking us now as who wants to get involved in our mess if you have no connection to the club - and that statement isn't a plug for Arteta either before somebody says it is.
The board maybe have one last chance to appeal to the ego of a top manager to come in and rescue us because after that if they fail then you'll get you choice of NES or Dyche or Wilder.

Re: Unai Emery
And whose fucking fault is that exactly? The bloke whose attempt to build a defence consisted of a converted winger at RB, after failing with Debuchy and Jenkinson. The same bloke who spunked 35m up the wall on Mustafi and signed that geriatric helmet headed Chav c.unt. Whoever inherited the job from Wenger was doomed. Throw in the fact that the useless *word censored* let every half decent player we had run down their contract whilst sticking Ozil on 350k per week and you start to see what he inherited.Jock Gooner wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 7:38 pmThe bloke who benefited hugely from what Ancelotti and Laurent Blanc had set up at PSG before he rolled into town.

Yes we all know exactly whose fault it is and it's why we would have given Dick quite a bit of leeway IF the guy hadn't turned out to be a bloody reincarnation of TOF. All we wanted was to see signs of improvement, green shoots, a bit of stability in the way the team defends or some kind of structure to our game but Senor 4 - 3 simply can't do it, it's just not in his DNA. We all know that successful teams are built from the back but I haven't heard a peep of complaint from Dick about not being allowed to use the club's money to fully strengthen the defence. He may not have committed the crime but he's fast becoming complicit. Our defence can't defend for shit and there is no supporting cover from the midfield and the one guy who could do a job is played out of position. Yeah let's keep things as they are.
Augie's point about either Santo or Benitez being potentials to stabilize the club - that was Dick's job after all - is a realistic reflection of who we might be able to 'attract' to start that process as we currently have no identity whatsoever unless you count the opposition shot count doubling under Dick. The club is going to shit under wiggy so the class of manager we can expect to have is going in the same direction but it's time for a new one as Dick has failed to make any impression at all. I'm not bothered if it turns out to be a Dyche or Wilder as I would trust them 100% more than Dick to organise our side. Lots of people have turned their noses up at defenders like Evans and Cahill as short term fixes but I would rather have them than the current pair of clowns too. I think we have a lot of adjusting to the new Arsenal still to go....or not depending on your point of view but either way it don't look pretty.

Re: Unai Emery
Can we please stop harking back to OGL as the be all and end all of blame, we've had what 10 or 11 players come in to the squad since he left and none of them have drastically improved the squad, UE has had 18 months to impose his vision and ideas on the squad and it hasn't taken, yes shit for brains left a complete shit show behind but ffs give me a break, even with the remainder of OGLs fuckwits he should have been able to impose some sort of discipline and unity, he hasn't and that is on him and him alone, we're worse now than when he took over.
God knows if any modern Manager could have done considerably better but you can bet your arse that some of them could have got at least some cohesion in to this lot and at best reorganised us to be harder to get through and around so easily.
Wenger truly fucked us but UE has hastened our slide not put the brakes on it.

Re: Unai Emery
STRONG Rumours that an announcement on the Unai Emery situation will be made tomorrow.
Stan & Josh flew into London last night and have held talks with everyone today.
The players have not trained for 2 days as Emery and they had a major fall-out after the game.
All rumours of course.

Tbh mate it sounds like complete horseshit. If they had fallen out - and not trained for 2 days because of that - it would be all over the media.

Re: Unai Emery
Wouldn't surprise me. Wednesday and Thursday are notorious days for sackings. From what's coming out in the papers over the last few days and weeks, it seems that the players have had enough, that there is open dissent in the ranks and that they're close to a rebellion. Everyone seems to be waiting for the trigger to be pulled. Stories like the Lacazette and Aubameyang contracts one don't come out unless it's for a reason. They're using it to pile more pressure on the owner to get Emery out and quite frankly they should be. I still reckon we'll have the game at Norwich before any decision is made but I do get the sense that something is imminent.OneBardGooner wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 9:36 pmSTRONG Rumours that an announcement on the Unai Emery situation will be made tomorrow.

Absolutely - these stories are always planted with an ulterior motive in mind, and the motive this time is to build up a justifiable case for sacking emery.
I feel I always have to preface what I say by insisting that I do want emery gone now (cos I do want him gone), but I do feel that some fans are heading for a serious kick in the nuts if they believe that getting shot of emery is gonna fix all the woes with these players - it is my opinion that there are players in that squad that are gonna be a hinderance no matter who is the manager, and I feel that weeding them out will be vital for squad harmony and unity. There is no doubt that our players were used to living an easy going lifestyle under the senile French cock, and maybe that is a big part of the problem with them - will they accept confrontation and accountability demands from any manager ? I suspect that in the short-term we will see a positive bounce from the players who want rid of emery, but give it time and we will again see signs of revolt from some of them
