Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Jon Crofts]

14/1 to even money in an hour of football manager appointments doesn't take a lot of doing.

Or someone is playing with the market to get Dyche out to a big number before lumping on lol

I'd love it to be true about Emery. After the real top drawer ones, he's right up there.

Or, a bunch of punters are just following Twitter speculation and/or the market.

Yep, a few people chucking a few qud on and it becomes self fulfiling as others pile in.

What was the story with Emery at Arsenal?

He was made fun of because he couldn't say "evening" properly.

Results weren't great either.

In his only full season he finished 5th and reached the europa league final.

18 months after he left they were still finishing 8th.

In the circumstances he did o.k imo and also gave likes of Saka and Martinelli their first chances.

That's something important to us with some of the young players we have on our fringes.

He didn't give Martinelli his chance, he signed him.

The big black mark is that he spent a fortune on Pepe who was massively underwhelming but given that window also saw Tierney, Saliba and the aforementioned Martinelli join I reckon it was largely offset by the others.

Arsenal had a few sporting directors in his time there so think they were signing those young players but he had to weigh up how soon they could get into the team.

As said above he never wanted Pepe, pushed the board to sign Zaha instead who was more premier league proven but got overruled.

He also started an 18 year old in europa league final v Man. United which takes some guts and it paid off.

It's important we have someone who actually gives our youth decent chances when ready, Gerrard giving Archer 10 minutes all season when he's been playing and scoring regularly for last six months was a disgrace so that's an easy win for the next one managing us.

Emery would be a decent appointment  I allways thought he got a bad rep at Arsenal who were going through a lot of problems with players. His Europa league record is impressive.
Win % is around 50% and loses around 25%.ignoring PSG stats.

Emery was never given a proper chance at Arsenal. Anyone following Wenger was in for a tough time, and was accent was picked on by the little Englanders amongst their supporter base. He’s undoubtedly proven over many years he is excellent tactically and without having to spend a fortune built really excellent teams to compete in domestic and European competitions. He’d be an excellent choice.

He’s not British so he’s more than half way there to get my vote already

We've never had a single manager in our entire history who's managed to get over the 50% win threshold.

Emery would be a great appointment. I think Kompany will be a good manager in the future, but not one for us to take a punt on now.

Danks has a 100% win record

Amorim is the main contender according to BBC  but I don't see why he would give up a chance to walk away from CL knockout stage.

Because there's still enough games left here for us to qualify for next seasons

[algy]

I'm just glad all the talk is around Poch, Amorim, and Emery. All managers who you could see rocking up at clubs in the same position as we want to be.

A bigger wage packet.
