Some strange decisions just lately Unai. Please stop.

I truly believe that his attention to detail, which is normally his greatest asset, hinders him when things really drop away. I think he’s trying minor tweaks (if anything) and doesn’t see the wood for the trees. We’ve been hopeless for weeks - it should be self evident that with the injuries we can’t play the same style we were.

This smells like end of an era right now.

I reckon he's going to leave at the end of the season.

And that's not me saying I want him to, it just smells like something ending.

It’s like he’s realized we can’t break through the ceiling and so he’s given up.
Sadly, I think that is exactly what it is too.

Yep. How fucking depressing.

If we don't get CL I reckon the summer could see a lot of changes. I'm not convinced Unai will stay.

I still think this.

This is my thinking too. Seeing Man C getting those two from Bmouth in the window and we not able to spend is hard and injuries to Bouba and Tieles didnt help. Rebuilding in summer can be exciting. If this continue he might even leave before summer due to mutual agreements or the like?

We're 4th in the league. Emery isn't a quitter and she's always said that we haven't the budgets and therefore the opportunities to finish higher.

He's always known the battle he faces.

I don’t think we’re allowed to spend the money a rebuild would require.

Worse, it looks like he doesn't know what to do. I really hope this is not how it ends.

Didn't bring Tammy on until 70 mins v Wolves, when we'd gone behind.
Tonight on 72 mins, when 4-1 down.

Maybe, maybe not. Sell watkins, martinez, bailey (somehow), maybe even rogers, and with sancho's wages also off the books, surely that gives us the scope to rebuild smartly, if olabe has anything about him

Also - let's not forget, we effectively swapped Bailey for Malen.

It’s all gone wrong since we sold Malen. Just like when we sold Ramsey. I think it really affects the players when players are moved on for FFP reasons..like commodities

If we aren't in the CL I don't see how Rogers stays. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a massive turnover. And possibly Unai.
