I get your point but it's a very volatile situation that he doesn't have to get involved in. The ball us in his court, we're a shitshow currently due to FCB.

James Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I reckon the PL leaked it as we have to complete paperwork for them to support our work permit application. Howe was probably on the form as the British alternative box tick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 If Emery genuinely didn’t feel he was capable of leading the team with a day or two in charge, there’s nothing to say he can’t be announced as manager and him watch Jones’ last game from the stands. Although, that raises the spectre of Emery staying in at Villarreal for their weekend league match. If there’s silence through the weekend, the bedwetters will be having aneurysms.

Do you not think our circumstances are a factor? - relegation threatened, shit squad, inadequate infrastructure, crap facilities, shit start to season, a lot of hard work to turnaround and UK press are a pack of cunts. There is the allure of serious money being here over time to make a club a trophy winning side, but for first year it's going to be very hard. Leaving the comfort of your native speaking country and leave your post at a CL playing based club to come to us in the circumstances isn't completely down to the owners.

SUPERTOON Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Caulkin article this morning listing the reasons we want Emery- Rafa like, strong organiser, gets good performances out of average players. All great points so why would Howe be second choice because he isn’t any of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 In reality the Spanish press has been briefed by Villarreal that he's said he's staying, the meeting they had was successful and such. The same Villarreal that said there'd been no contact from NUFC when obviously there had been, the same Villarreal who have just won their first major trophy in years under the manager currently being linked with NUFC. Have a think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if Emery was a very good manager his current club would be doing and saying everything they could (fair and foul / truth and lies) to keep him - which they now are, so he is.
