Unai Emery

[olaftab]

Emery teaches and he passes on what he learns from anywhere and everywhere all that is beneficial. He has learnt from his stints at Arsenal and PSG that toxicity is best avoided. Not that I am at all concerned he will even consider the possibility for a second.

Some absolute gold on Red Cafe this morning.

Emery to Man U with Roy Keane as coach.

"De Zerbe Ange Emery Eddie Howe Are all gettable"

Deluded ******. They need to accept that all their problems are around Ten Hag not Ten Hag.

I'd love to be in the room when they come begging for Unai and he's told he can have the job and Keane will be his coach. I think his wonderful facial expressions would create meme's for the ages.

Is there another club in the country who's local media would come out with stuff like this:

Can you imagine the local paper in Newcastle or one of the Liverpool papers coming out with that?

Love the "I'm no Man Utd fan" caveat at the end, but wonder if you happen to support a team in Small Heath or Sandwell you clown.

I don't think he'd contemplate leaving any time soon.  Certainly not before he's delivered a trophy or two and possibly established us a Champions League team.

But given his career to date he's not squeamish about moving on and as much as we want a Ferguson or Wegner, he may well not see us as a final destination.  If he delivers for us he may want a crack at a 'giant club' whether that be Barca, RM or even Man U, much as we'd hate to see it.

Either way, if that time does come, I'm convinced he will have put us back as one of the best 5-6 clubs in England and I think we'd all have taken that when he joined.

I think the more important line to consider is the one after it, "tell me why you think I am wrong in the comments section".

Come on all you angry Villa fans, shower me with your blessed revenue-generating engagement.

I think this is the message being drummed into the lads by Unai, and I’d be surprised and disappointed (to put it mildly) if he doesn’t mean it:

Pau Torres: "Would it be a dream to play for Real Madrid? No, it would be a dream to get a title with Aston Villa. That would be the next dream. And, from that work, things will already be coming. Now we are focused on that, on making Aston Villa a winning club and putting it back where it deserves."

The bloke who wrote that is the sports editor at the Staffordshire Sentinel so the byline calling him 'Birmingham Live's Keith Wales' is stretching it more than a bit. He just works for Reach PLC.

Disgraceful "journalism" by a so-called Midlands news outlet.
In time, Unai may leave but it won't be anytime soon that's for sure.

Absolutely hate anything Reach do. All their click-bites are alarmist aimed at potentially the biggest audience.

their stuff is awful to read with all the adverts ,pop ups and disjointed pages

Jesus Christ the paragraph where he goes on about 'the Red Devils' and 'Best, Charlton' etc. What a rancid butt-sniffer.

Here's one: Emery rejected Newcastle because his Villarreal project wasn't finished, then accepted us because he felt it was time to make a change. We've since built the club in his image. He's never been more respected, more trusted anywhere, and this is a guy for whom those things (as well as a connection with the fans) count for everything.

Doesn't mean he won't go, who knows, I'm not in his head, but these things really merit consideration.

To be fair to them I think they realise that. They're concerned but not exactly calling for Ten Hag's head.

I was just about to link to that Birmingham Live article. It is one of the most disgusting pieces of so called journalism I have ever read from a so called local news outlet. I will never click on any of their articles ever again. Absolutely appalling.

We need stop getting fired up over Emery links. It’s natural lazy media twats are going to mention how now he’s not just the bloke who says “good ebening” and they have to give him credit and us albeit reluctantly. Emery isn’t just going to walk out of a job where he’s been hand picked by the owner and given the keys to the kingdom to build our club in his vision. From top to bottom. Look at all of the staff that he’s brought with him and who has left because of what he’s creating. And that’s even before you get to talk about what he’s done on the pitch, and the immense connection he’s built with the fans. He’s got literally everything he needs with us and I don’t see there is anything that Man U offers as a club, or environment that is better than what we have now. At every level we are on the way up and they are on their way down.

Exactly this. He doesn't strike me as the type to leave a job before he's achieved any of his aims. If he was just going to do it for the money, he'd be better going to Saudi Arabia.

He hardly left Villareal for the charms of the Balti pies either. I'm assuming we are paying him multiples of his Villareal salary and rightly so given what he has delivered. Think he also wanted to give the PL another crack to prove the end of his Arsenal spell was just an anomaly in a very solid career. He did turn down Newcastle so it wasn't just cash to be fair or any PL gig.

Emery walked into a club stuck in a post Jack Grealish purgatory and instantly transformed us. It's not as if he had a high quality CEO or DoF supporting him either, both Purslow and Lange were punted soon afterwards. There are a lot of parallels with the circus at Old Trafford currently but as others have said they haven't hit rock bottom yet.

I hope Emery uses this as leverage to get more budget in January to get Diaby like quality in. We are an attractive club now for players who want to improve. Man United are the polar opposite.
