Unai Emery

[Bradywasking]

Emery's time is surely up,,out of his depth and seemingly clueless on the touchline. There is no future for him in a competitive league like the Premier League. Third in Spain is an achievement given the dominance of the big two and Atletico. In a league where games are not a given like some European leagues you need to be strong and determined. Emery has neither trait and he is getting exposed for that game on game. He cannot cope with competitive teams. Other managers see that and like yesterday they go for the jugular.
The players have to take some blame. I thought Aubameyang was awful yesterday,for a captain he gave nothing extra. I get the concept that the players are not playing for the manager but I cannot accept it. They are playing for the club, the shirt and the fans , not to mention grossly inflated wages. They owe more. Obviously some players are simply not good enough. Too many names to mention, add that to the obvious lack of coaching and you have a recipe for disaster.
Arsenal are in a mess, almost an irreversible decline. Emery needs to go Monday morning but such is the malaise in the club I'm not sure that is even enough.

Sorry still haven't seen anything in quotes other than Dick having the backing of the board The stuff I've read about 4,5,6 or however many games he has is not sourced, it's papertalk.

No point having a pop at Sanllehi or Edu as I doubt they will be making the call. Don't forget that Dick was wiggy's first choice so they are going to have to convince that twat that he was wrong to appoint Dick. There is an outside chance that wiggy doesn't give two fu.cks.

It sums up Sanllehi, Edu and the others. Keep a failed, busted flush of a manager for four ‘winnable games (which we’ll be lucky to win two of)! Then sack him, because he is so obviously shit, then ask a new guy to oversee a tough run of games when he comes in!!?? Doesn’t make sense!
United bought in OGS when they played the bottom 6 teams in a row and surprise surprise, he won all of them.....our management setup couldn’t ‘manage’ to win the lottery if they had the only ticket. They ALL need to go!!

Spot on

Not that our board do strategy ,but if they did, it wouldn't be the worst idea to let Dick take the hidings that we have coming up then bring in the Messiah in the NY. If you bring the new guy in for the tough run of games then he's straight off on a losing streak and on the back foot.

I still can't understand the thought process of the club. I know they don't want to pay off his contract but how much money do they lose by being out of the CL for another season. I said on here that if the club didn't act after the Leicester game then fans won't be arsed going, and by the looks of things, we are going to see a practically empty stadium before Christmas. In Wenger's last season, he was still being shielded by some delusional fans, who either didn't want him to go, or wanted a change but thought fans should be 'respectful'. Emery will receive dogs abuse from all sides until he is gone. On top of that, even wanker could pull out a flat track bully win when under pressure, but when you can't beat a 19th placed side at home and in truth they should have destroyed us, then it's almost unfair to leave someone so out of their depth in this position. What a shambolic club.

[Jock Gooner]

Was just watching Sunday Sup on Sky......I wasn't aware but they were saying that in his last season at Seville Dick didn't win any away matches in the league....as in NONE. They qualified for the CL off the back of winning the ropey cup as they finished 7th. As they said whoever at Arsenal was looking at his away stats performance for his job interview must have overlooked that minor shortcoming.

Raul and Edu are keen on giving Emery a longer period of time to improve the club’s fortunes but some board members believe Unai should be sacked. Process of identifying the long-term replacement has begun: Allegri, Arteta and Poch (remote) in frame [@SamiMokbel81_DM]

Fuck Raul & Edu if this is true!

[Nos89]

Surely the board have to act now. Whatever it is that has gone wrong for Emery is staying wrong with no glimmer of hope of it being turned around. The players are playing the system the manager wants. The system isn't working. The players all appear low on confidence. This really is down to Emery and his coaching team.
Realistically, I don't think Poch is the right man for the job, maybe have an interim manager until the end of the season and for that position surely Rafa Benetiz's name is top of that list. His commitments in China end in the next week or two, perfect timing to come in and get this team organised and hopefully win us the Europa League.
At this point I'd take Hassenhuttel ahead of Emery. At least he can get his team organised and remotivated after a momumental hammering. Also, how he managed to keep a poor Southampton side up last season is equally miraculous of the job Benetiz did at Newcastle

At this point I'd take fu.cking Kermit the frog over Emery.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

There are voices of concern and dissent among older board members who are losing faith in Emery but Arsenal’s determination to stick with Emery comes from Sanllehi who regards Unai as his “man” and wants to give him every chance to succeed.[@MirrorFootball]

I said at the start of the season we would be in the mire by xmas if this clown was allowed to continue his confused clueless tenure.
I don’t think he will make it until xmas, but I don’t see us winning a single game in the league as long as he remains in charge.
I also said, to howls of derision that I didnt believe Luiz was a step up from Kos (who is undoubtedly a useless c u n t) I wonder does anyone still believe he is?
I saw a perfect analysis of Luiz’ addition to our squad on a bbc tweet.
“Adding Luiz to an already error prone defence, is like handing a child with a toothache a packet of bonbons”

My eldest lad said that he read something on line earlier suggesting that the club will having an emergency board meeting today - I don't see that rumour/story anywhere

Emery needs to go, but we need to take the opportunity to get rid of the others and revert to a flat structure. By that, I mean a manager (not just "coach" who is directly accountable for player recruitment, performance, tactics and transfers. By all means employ someone to tie up and negotiate contracts, if only to guard against the danger of 'bungs'. But otherwise, allow the manager to manage and hold him accountable.

What used to be Arsenal's strength - the stablity and conservative (small c) ethos of the club - is a glaring weakness in the modern era. Can you imagine us parting company with a manger who had got us to a Champions' League final less than six months ago, having just taken on the responsibility of a new stadium? Had we done this in November 2006, we might have prevented the last 13 years of purgatory.
