You one of those "It's all Wengers fault" tossers I take it?Quote:

The finish to the season is clearly disappointing but needs to be put in perspective. Watching Mustafi and Koscielny defend like clowns doesn’t make me think changing Emery is the right thing. It makes me think changing Wenger was the right thing.
Agreed (apart from the last line, natch)

We’ve had a run of results that Wenger didn’t manage in 20+ years and the signs are we are getting worse. Many of us could see that our earlier run was incredibly flattering.
If the right man is available why not make the leap? We did it before.
I don’t really care what fans think, some fans were continually slagging off Ramsey. Would you want us to listen to people like that?
Well done, you’ve written many words and not addressed the fundamental point. Which is that you can never be certain that the change will work so it’s better to give the incumbent time until you are certain you need to change.Quote:

And I made the point that we should ignore supporters, not otherwise. You really should try and read posts before you reply.
I suspect you’re reading things a little too literally. There is no certainty in business. Not even taxes. It’s all a value judgement and we have more negative evidence to base that on and possibly a choice of managers that was previously unavailable.Quote:

To be fair, that’s what I used to ask you about Wenger. And here we are.

Finding a successful formula when employing a new manager hasn’t really been achievable at any club. Possibly Liverpool for a while, with their boot room culture beginning with Shankly. The Scousers have probably been the most patient, having had 6 managers since 2000.Quote:

I said previously that it’s highly likely that Emery won’t be here that long but given limited finances, injuries to key players and the urgent need to clear out Wengers dead wood, is it not reasonable to allow him more time and a couple of transfer windows ?
Emery has done a great job masking the true talents of some of our players but in the end they’ve reverted to type.
Mustafi will always be an Everton reject
Xhaka is hopeless
Muppetarian is like an old boxer who just won’t hang up the gloves and retire
Kolasinac will never be a left back
Iwobi needs a life coach or something...if he was a horse he would be gelded and given blinkers
Aboomerang is an out and out striker and not a left winger
Ozil is so physically weak he should be playing for the ladies team
Need a good old fashioned culling in the summer.
Yes of course, I fully agree. Unless we can suddenly get a manager we highly covert and might not be available next time around. I can’t imagine Emery was ever our number 1 choice. Just our choice of who was available and would join us.Quote:
