Unai Emery - our manager

[Chris Smith]

At full time on Thursday I was genuinely pissed off with all things Villa. The performance yesterday and now this and suddenly all is well.

Sevilla, Villareal and now the hattrick!  Welcome to the best Villa in the world Unai!

Beat me to it NL!!!

Another photo opportunity manager for our CEO.

Go forth and multiply.

You've spelt red incorrectly.

Moy Bien. Great appointment and we didn't piss about.  Must be terrible behind the scenes to be this organised eh Mr Beale?

[gpbarr]

Big appointment, top draw coach, impressive record, pedigree.

The last 12 months has been so demoralizing - feel totally energized again, brilliant!

Now let's a) back him, and b) be patient (he's got a lot to sort out and a rough run of games before the WC).

Unai - you'll be a legend here!

There's always one.  And you are all of them.

Takes over November 1st, so Man U his first game., followed by Man U

Nice easy start for him, then.

Given his record in cups , man u may as well play the kids in  the cup game !

[PaulWinch again]

Likes the double-pivot and wingers too - so well suited!

[SamTheMouse]

Oh yes, this will definitely do!

A fine appointment. If it doesn't end well, it won't be the fault of Purslow and co'. This is what we asked for.

Welcome, and good luck Unai!

[West Derby Villan]

A brilliant, experienced appointment, think the owners really do mean business after all, onwards and upwards

[Risso]

Good thing with the World Cup it's only 5 games until the transfer window opens, and surely he must have been promised the keys to the sweet shop to accept the job?

[martin o`who??]

I've got to give it the funny fags - I keep imagining we slaughtered Brentford yesterday and appointed a top European coach today.....

[Steve67]

What do we know of his backroom staff?

[Gaztonniller]

WOW!!; this is a major statement as to the direction the owners are wanting the club to go.
 Emery is that step below the level and status of Pep, Klopp, Zidane et al.

I'm sure he was mentioned as a manager Newcastle's new wealthy owners were trying to attract.

A very interesting and exciting appointment out the blue, and maybe the most significant appointment since GT 1987 in restoring the club name and reputation.
