Gordyola Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Good appointment, he deserves a chance at a club with the right ambition and the funds to achieve it The job he did at Bournemouth was remarkable, taking them through the tiers and then surviving in the PL playing football as it should be played, the final season was riddled with injuries and if he had a few more games, they may have well stayed up. Fact is, he experienced the downs and this will stand him in good stead for the coming months at Newcastle. I don't think Emery was the right fit and as one poster says above "lucky to have Eddie" Hopefully everyone will back him and especially the fans, it wont be easy and even if the relegation happens then back him again, let him build like he did at Bournemouth it would be good to see an English manager finally win something and, with the right progressive brand of football. Good luck, the PL will be a better place with a strong Newcastle United just hope you get use to finishing second to City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely beginning to think it might well have been a blessing in disguise that we got him instead. Think Emery is going to have major regrets. I imagine he didn't even have the sense to give Rafa a ring to get more info on the new bunch and the club before his major panic move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes his talk about not being protected enough at Arsenal. Possibly too fragile for us. Eddie could be the new “one” to lead us onwards and upwards! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Edited November 6, 2021 by PauloGeordio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Now that I know more about his dedication to football, his work ethics and self-improvement over these few days, I want him to succeed with us. Hope he gets the same reception from our fanbase too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be an honour getting him to block me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sneaking feeling he’s going to be great for us and we’re going to love the bloke once he brings us success. A first trophy 🏆 for Eddie and us in decades via a cup would be perfect.

NG32 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Would have preferred Emry but thinking logically, no top manager is going to come here with relegation looming over our shoulder. Ashley gone, Bruce gone and now we can look forward, probably filled with lots of ups and downs but at least we can start the process. Let the rebuild begin. I'm all in, lets see where we end up.

Shak Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 One thing to be quite excited about is the fact that Emery clearly had decided to come here before he changed his mind. For a manager of his pedigree at a CL club to have been so close to willing to jump ship to our current squad and league position does indicate that there's gonna be a lot of investment and funds available for the new manager. Let's hope Howe makes the most of it. Any of the things I've seen or read make it very easy to root for the guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Between the articles (telegraph one was insanely good read) and all the videos, he’s just a class and committed guy.

STM Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Let's be honest, Emery is very comfortable at Villareal. Not often a manager is genuinely wanted by their fans, like Rafa was with us. He's probably made the right decision to stick by their club and their fans. However I suspect he has peaked, in terms of what he can a achieve there. For his sake, I hope his stock doesn't drop because he decided to stay there a couple of years too long because if that happens, one of the worlds big clubs won't take him on again.
