Surely Emery will get sacked? SURELY???
I’m not a huge fan, Easty. I just cannot see a quick turnaround, no matter who we appoint.
We’ve allowed our assets to run down contracts and recouped sod all with which to rebuild. We have a few good players mingled with a lot of average ones on overpaid contracts.
Emery’s got little choice but to shop bargain basement and develop a few more from the youth squad, while hopefully shipping out players like Elneny, Ozil, Mhiki, Jenkinson, Monorail, Mustafi etc.
It’s going to take a while..
Chelsea would sack him. I like their approach. Win trophies or fűck off.
I don’t disagree. I think Gazidis holds a lot of the blame for our situation. Player contracts have been poorly negotiated for some time. Compare us to Spurs. It would be interesting to see a hungry, principled young coach take on the problem. Coupled with a great commercial and contracts negotiator.
Emery has a massively difficult task and it would be unfair to give up on him after a season. There are no guarantees either way. I just think the upside is very limited with Emery and that a Europa League win is all we can aspire to.
Yes, all very true although I think it is far too early to draw conclusions re Unai’s upside. There’s currently both reason for optimism and reason to be concerned. However, regardless of how it turns out it is important to remember that we now have something that was no longer possible under Wenger.
Hope.
Three consecutive 3rd place finishes at Valencia is very impressive, not sure anyone would expect them to beat Barca/Madrid and they were a selling club at that time. Seville was also impressive, league and EL trophies. There’s a reason PSG hired him.
He needs another year, more likely two, to be judged fairly.
Meanwhile, the manager the moaners seem to miss so badly appears to still be unemployed.
