Some cracking young players in there. More youth focussed, but some have huge potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztoon Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Just like the successor to sir Alex.. the guy who took over Wenger was on a hiding to nothing.

Haven't seen one person say they wanted Lampard. If you're going to dig people out at least be fair about it. Emery is a good appointment and worth the wait. Could've been done sooner imo as you work your way down the list. Conte, Rodgers and Rafa weren't interested, next on the list is Emery in terms of pedigree. Could've saved time by going for him without talking to Lampard, Howe etc given his CV is far superior. We're all delighted with Emery, no need to be digging people out over wanting it done sooner.

Abacus Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 This really does feel like night and day, compared to the last manager search. I.e. scrabbling about in the bargain bin without a plan, being rejected by anyone with a brain, and then massively overpaying for a complete and utter idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) He was lifting at Spartak Moscow like. Got peddled after few months and lost a the Moscow derby 5-1 at home (all info i got from Wikipedia) Just a blip as he has been quality nearly everywhere else.

Noone knows what obstacles were in the way and what was costing them time. Perhaps Emery wasn't available for interview until Friday? The point is, don't bitch because you feel impatient. Wait for the outcome, then discuss its merits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Timing is an important part of the decision like. It’s great that they’ve got someone class but I think it was valid to worry about how long it would take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 A lot of the anxiety here came from the league position we are in. Add to a lack of news and the two lackluster performances, it is understandable why people wanted things to move faster. I wouldn't be as worried if we are mid-table.

In which case we could have had Emery 2 weeks ago, like you say, nobody knows. It works both ways. Great appointment, people were right to be concerned at the length of time it was taken, especially as the concerns were off the back of them bungling the sacking of Bruce.

Stottie Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Chuffed to bits about this. Huge upgrade on Bruce and Jones. The Europa League is no pushover and is simply undervalued by the English media. 10 wins and a few draws and we'll stay up. Appointing Emery is a big step toward it happening.

But they can’t/shouldn’t just move onto a single target- being thorough means interviews and finding out future plans. You can’t just appoint someone simply because you think they’re ‘next on the list’. IF Emery comes, the club have done well in the time they’ve had. Bungling Bruce sacking? How? They gave him his last 1000th game then got rid. Sacking him before that would’ve achieved nothing other than pander to fans who want everything right now.
