[Football] Unai Emery new Aston Villa manager

[Bozza]

Good appointment?

 

[indy3050]

Surprised he turned Newcastle down but agreed to the Villa job. Perhaps he has morals…

 

[Weststander]

Emery’s abrasive.

With their usual high level of spending eventually they’ll be battling it out for 8th to 10th with West Ham, Fulham and Everton. He’ll win zero silverware, using them as stepping stone.

Oh my

 

[Lenny Rider]

Wasn’t this the bloke who failed at Arsenal?

 

[Weststander]

Oh my

If he delivers, he’ll basque in the glory.

Very much a meh appointment. Didn't pull up any trees at Arsenal, can't see him doing much at Villa, especially as they seem to think they are some kind of PL "royalty" there. The fans will be mortally offended if they're not pushing top 6, so like most Villa managers, he'll be out within about 18 months.

As long as that?

Possibly not. But anything less and it looks like the board have f***ed it up again.

Just 24 full and caretakers in the EPL era.

 

[Muzzman]

Nope. This tells me that Villa don’t have a succession-based model, they haven’t done any research, and it was probably Emery who contacted Villa than the other way around. Good for us though.

Don't know what people are smoking on this thread

The guy has won the Europa League FOUR times!!!!! More silverware than about 95% of managers out there. Qualla appointment

Emery must have impressed the board.

 

[studio150]

Money talks, otherwise not sure that a relegation battle is that attractive.

 

[elwheelio]

Successful manager, good appointment.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Good appointment?

Brylcreamtastic. Local barbers will be happy they'll finally get rid of their 1970's stock

 

[portlock seagull]

Without gas, oil or nuclear weapons (!), Villa are just another also-ran like the rest of us hoping to win the Papa Johns pot.

Nothing to see here really.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Good appointment?

Good ebening.

I thought the same about Ten Haag at United - he'd hung his hat so firmly on getting de Jong and when that didn't hapen I thought he'd be toast - but it looks like I was wrong there.
So, I may be wrong about Unai Emery too - but TBH if I was a Villa supporter I would not be dancing in the streets of Aston tonight celebrating the appointment either. He was crap at Arsenal. Wonder if the malcontents who wouldn't put in a proper stint for Stevie G will give him any more respect?
