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..
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.
