Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Chris_Jephcott]

I had heard a slight sniff this morning that he was no1 target and it was looking like today was going to be the day that we found out more. I didn’t want to say much because these things often go wrong.

But now I can say that it feels like this is genuinely happening.

I am very hopeful that we’re about to witness a glorious revolution in terms of who we are and what we play. This is a statement in it’s own right - now we just need our other statement signings to get fit again.

Let the good times roll.

I think this is great news, one because of his calibre, and two hes not going to come here if we are not willing to back him

[Steve67]

I agree with others, this is a really good appointment if it comes off.  He knows how to win and I'd like to think the spell at Arsenal was just a blip and he was trying to ruin the tarquin feckers.  Good pedigree and keep the club up there in terms of his media attraction as he's a manager to be reckoned with from a reputation point of view.  If both Percy and Romano are saying it, that's good enough for me.  Give him a few quid in the window.

Yep sounds like its done a 3 year contract with an option for a further year. Very happy with this its the sort of appointment that we would have loved but we perhaps thought we weren't able to pull off.

Some good advice below if he comes. And if he doesn't.

I am also asking any Villa fan to please not fall into the “good ebening” jokes. As someone who watched his father often be belittled in England because of his accent, it feels ignorant & xenophobic.

Also, if you only speak one language…you really need to sit this one down

Indeed - I always it pathetic when people mock that sort of thing.

Let's hope he's soon pissing our way.

Emery had a 55.1% win percentage at Arsenal.

We were supposed to be grateful for Gerrard, I would be grateful for Emery.

[N'ZMAV]

this is a manager with pedigree.

Emery for me

Me and my German friends have a game where we try to get each other to trip over pronunciation. They struggle with “Squirrel” and I struggle with… virtually every German word. Particular favourites are Schachtellaufwerk (wheels on a tank!), Streichholzschachtel (box of matches), Kreuzschlitzschraubenzieher (Screwdriver) and Eichhörnchen (which is also German for Squirrel)

What I take from this is (apart from Squirrels being unpronounceable in other language than your mother tongue!) is that it’s too easy for those we shouldn’t pass judgement on those who try to speak other languages

So yeah. No “bants” from me on how he speaks…

I’m off to consider “Squirrel” in a number of different languages now

[PaulWinch again]

I tell you what if this gets done then those questioning the owners ambition can eat some humble pie.

[Brazilian Villain]

Poch is going to have to watch himself. The next big thing can quickly become yesterday's man if he gets too picky.

Had hoped it would be him at first but realised that he might be divisive appointment plus he turned us down anyway.

Would be very happy with Emery if it confirmed. Top class manager and looks like it's been done with a minimum of fuss.

Didn't you say your money would be on Frank or Rodgers?

What sort of screwdriver?

[The Man With A Stick]

Considering we haven't had a sniff of European football in well over ten years, getting a coach of Emery's pedigree is a massive coup.  Totally different league to Gerrard, just a shame we didn't go for him a year ago.
