The fact they were saying Emery was a done deal only yesterday and now this latest twist should tell you they haven’t a clue really. I’m sure the club do brief the media, but I guarantee most of their tip-offs and info are from agents, players and shit stirrers and again, a lot of guesswork and putting two and two together and often coming up with fucking zero. The fact it has come from Caulkin who is AS go to, tells me it's not just media bollocks and speculation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 We just need to pay for a fast track PCR test and get on the fucking plane to convince the guy to come. Actually, we don’t even need a PCR test to enter Spain so can just get on the plane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's not a fantastic process at the moment, but the sale going through when it did came as a shock to all. There isn't a structure in place like there is or would be at other clubs yet. "Been an absolute shit show since Amanda walked thru the door." - grow up for fuck sake, try a bit of critical thinking for once. You can only use the shock factor for so long. So many walks of life shit gets dumped on you and you have to run with it. They are experienced business men and women with near enough unlimited funds to make things happen and have been wanting this for years. They believed it would happen so it's not a complete shock it has. So for me This isn't an excuse anymore, it only has a limited shelf life and for me thathas expired. They now need to be more agile in thinking and process and realise 24 hours is a long time in football and we have little time to waste. It's the old QCT. Cost isn't an issue, quality and time is. Which is more important to all this? Quality long term yes, but time is equally as important as if you wait and get a quality manager but run out of time.to make the changes then next season he leaves and it's all been for nothing. Your 2nd paragraph is spot on though, I'm not arguing for pulling that one up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be all sorted today now really. The original report was that things were to be finalized today with Emery coming in for Thursday. Think Emery was just taken aback because that information had not been relayed to him or Villareal first. Should be able to smooth that all over during communications today now.

I believe in the last week they've realised this, but who they want isn't available, and our position isn't helping. It will only get better I imagine.

LFEE Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Yorkie said: Put something else on, man. And not the Three Amigos. 5Live reporting it’s off… who else do you suggest? ? My thoughts are quite simply someone has jumped the gun. If it’s from our side to apply pressure on UE I’d be disappointed and would explain his reaction. There’s no real secrets in football these days due to social media etc but until the club says anything or there’s a sighting it’s always safest to take with a large dose of scepticism. As much as he annoys people just like the takeover Luke Edwards approach has proven correct again. That’s why it concerns me the others reporting it as getting done today were briefed from the club as if you end up with Howe you’ll end up with a lot of disappointment and what ifs and also some embarrassment as it’s with cap in hand. Big 24hrs for the club but seems a lot of work to be done to get UE in before Brighton. Not ruling out the international break but slightly more worryingly I’m not ruling out EH either. What is very clear is the timing of the takeover has been a bit of a nightmare for the short term. Wouldn’t surprise me if the EPL had played their part in the fixtures either ?

So, as much as I hate to agree with any of the completely OTT "this is a complete 3-ring shitshow circus" criticisms .... if it transpires that they were set to say yes to all his demands and get him in and somehow he was the last person to be informed of that, that is a bad look. Putting the media cart before the manager horse. Er. Yeah. We'll go with that. Need to not count their chickens before they're hatched. Still probably not the apocalypse being reported but I guess we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
