I think he'll give the squad a shake up, lift morale instantly and get an extra 20% or of most of them too. They clearly need a fresh voice with new ideas, a new vision and some organisational changes. Feeling very optimistic about the rest of the season now, happy days Tend to agree. It's probably the most Rafa-esque appointment we could make in terms of philosophy, attention to detail, and reputation. However, it's also someone familiar with working under the sort of structure that it seems we'll be implementing, which it's unlikely Rafa would've been too happy with in the long-run. Very exciting and ticks all of the boxes, really. Also bodes very well for trusting the decision-making of the consortium, IMO. Let's hope this isn't a false dawn and he's announced imminently. Howay the fucking lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Said it a bunch of times already but I can't wait to listen to a competent manager again. It'll be so refreshing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Fantastic news that they have decided on the new manager and that it is a great appointment. Now lets get him in to whip these bastards into shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Not doubting his managerial credentials but just have that feeling he won’t be great fit for the average NUFC fan. Hopefully he’s more charismatic than the few interviews I’ve seen him give but he seems very lacking in what the fan base usually latch on to. The Geordie’s have always liked a charmer. Personally would’ve preferred someone with no previous ties to a British Club but of all the ones who have then he’s clearly the best choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how it can work when they don't. Maybe I'm just a dinosaur though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Didn't realise he actually orchestrated a 22 game unbeaten run early in his first year at Arsenal. Sounds organised and meticulous with detail - basically exactly what we need. I was all in on Fonseca, and yes I'm probably blinded by the fact he isn't coming now, but I did touch on in an earlier post in this thread, not sure Fonseca would be a good fit *right now* due to having to basically change a team that's designed to sit deep into an attacking, possession based team. Emery seems perfect for our current predicament and really good statement from the owners. Happy fucking days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEFAFWISP Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Only concern is how effectively he can communicate his ideas. Big part of his struggles at Arsenal were his ability to get across tactical ideas to the players, older professionals like Xhaka, Mustafi, Ozil downing tools then losing the dressing room, and a disorganised mess on the pitch come the end of his tenure. He did blood Willock, Smith Rowe and Saka though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
