He completes his Villa treble. Sevilla, Villareal and the real Villa. I'm seriously buzzed about this, bust out the trumpets.

I've been reading around and in some quarters there's a perception that Emery is an excellent cup manager but not a league manager.  Fine by me, we're not going win it anyway but progress and a couple of trophies will do me very nicely.

He’s got his teams to qualify for Europe through the league hasn’t he?

That's my point.  He's only won one league in his career but he has an exceptional cup record.
Dare we dream, dare we dream of winning our Holy Grail for the first time since 1957?????

Anyway, welcome to the  Proper Villa FC Unai, and be brilliant!

That's my point.  He's only won one league in his career but he has an exceptional cup record.

He's spent ten years coaching in Spain though, at Valencia, Sevilla and Villarreal, three clubs who are nowhere near breaking the Barcelona/Real Madrid duopoly. Villareal are a relatively small club over there aren't they? 28,000 seater stadia and no big name players.

Based on that the owners can hope for maybe league cup, FA, Europa cups, with the outside chance of a league title then. That wholly unacceptable, sack him now  ;)

Good manager who's enjoyed success. Football won't exactly be free flowing but he'll get us moving up the table.

The club to make a decision to give him the opportunity to have a moan.

Not a league manager means not winning it? That’s a pretty high bar.
