If they fo all out for the Wolves bloke, then it shows no desire to improve the situation.
Freddie for the remainder of the season, then .........

"Freddie will only be able to coach for 12 weeks if appointed now. It’s a UEFA rule for those who only have a license “A”. He needs to get a license “B” in addition to “A” to qualify."

Not quite true, apparently he has all his badges /certificates to manage

"The Swede is fully qualified and has his UEFA Pro License...It is not impossible that [he] could take the job full-time."

Nice one mcdowell.

Preference for him ahead of the Wolves bloke and Poch in my book.

Bold predictions then, if Freddie gets the reigns until the end of the season?

Hang on..... a new thread beckons

I'm fairly certain you don't need any certificates to be a Manager. A coach however.....

Thanks Unai

Thanks for not constantly blaming referees, fixture schedules, financial fair play, special circumstances, accidents, the recession, global warming, the 4th official, financial doping, the volcanic ash cloud and the internal transfer market

Thanks for taking the time to learn English and having the piss taken out of you for it when other managers and players barely spoke a word 3 years into their tenure

Thanks for trying to connect with the fans in a positive way through the media instead of being a patronising, condescending c.unt who took every opportunity to remind us how ungrateful we all were

Thanks for trying something different instead of the pre-programmed substitutions after 70 minutes of every match

Thanks for managing to sign some players after international tournaments even though it was apparently impossible to do so

Thanks for generally being a decent humble bloke

Thanks for playing football between August and February last season that was far more competitive and passionate than any of the dross served up by the previous c.unt in the past decade (you might remember "we've got our Arsenal back")

Thanks for carrying Kroenke's can and we will now see who's next in line for that

None of that counts for most people, as they'd sell their soul to have a despicable c.unt like Mourinho take over

We'll also see how they're feeling when Nuno Espirito Wonfuckallio Santo wanders in

It didn't end well and the football of the past few weeks has been a bit shit, but in your only full season you finished 1 point outside the CL and lost the Europa final - something the previous cock couldn't muster

Maybe we should do a poll ... how long before you call Freddie a

(only joking Sid )

[Sturgooner]

Well said Clash. I'm still waiting for a snide comment from FIFA.

The Athletic are reporting that the decision to sack Unai Emery was made during a meeting between senior figures - including Raul Sanllehi & Vinai Venkatesham - and Stan & Josh Kroenke in the US earlier this week. #Arsenal https://t.co/XAZNelaTes

Im also sad to see him go - he was a nice bloke, very humble, seemingly hard working etc.

I read the biography of him and was impressed, but he wasnt up to the job really in hindsight- he could of taken over a successful squad, he didnt have the ability to instill organisation, discipline and desire into those players with poor ability or lack of effort.

The PL is so quick and the players so strong physically that you have to defend as a team, and for whatever reason, our lot just couldnt - both full backs were always too high, and no one stayed to cover behind them.

The new manager will have to fix that and be ruthless - xhaka, should never play again. Mustafi same. Luiz - cover for CDM only. Dozer - play as the sitting CDM. Tackle, pass, hold. stop dribbling, stop losing the ball. Leno. Dropped until he can distribute quicker. Bellerin. Dropped until he can go outside.

I like steve, thank Unai for his effort and conduct, and also for bringing on the young talent - saka, willock, reiss, even chambers and giving them a chance.

FWIW. freddie was my favourite invincible too, for his attitude and workrate - just as Parlour did before him, he was a workhouse who joined defence and attack, but would play anywhere for the shirt - even as centreforward if you remember, for five games or so. Scored a few too.

He also wasnt afraid of a fight on the pitch - he was a terror and a terrier. The song says it all :

We love you Freddie, beacuse youve got red hair, we love you Freddie cos youre everywhere - youre Arsenal through and through.

I hope he doesnt tarnish his legacy, but builds on it.
