What does success look like for Emery?

[Villan For Life]

I want a trophy and soon please Unai, preferably the FA Cup.

[aj2k77]

Solidify us inside of the top 10 for multiple years with the possibility of qualifying for Europa then re-evaluate.

[Mellin]

Just do well. Ta.

[ChicagoLion]

Top 6

[Brazilian Villain]

Long-term back in Europe and winning a cup. Lofty ambition clearly, but this is a big appointment.

This for me, some silverware in the next 3-5 years would be nice. If this appointment doesn't work out and is deemed a 'failure' then I really will start to believe that B6 is a managerial graveyard.

[ASHTONVILLA]

FA cup, league cups year 1-2

UEFA qualification year 2

UEFA win year 3

European cup year 4

League year 5 and retain European cup

FA cup league double, European cup semi final year 6

Year 7 FA cip, League cup, League, European cup

Year 8 above plus world club cup.

Might as well dream big this week.

This year, steady the ship, tilt at the top 10. Bonus: beat Man Utd and take us on a cup run. Next season: go for top 6 and a cup run, maybe even winning a cup. He would need to be backed in the transfer windows as has been stated.

[Drummond]

25/1 for the FA Cup and 20/1 League Cup.....

[Risso]

25/1 for the FA Cup and 20/1 League Cup.....

500/1 accumulator for them both then. Free money!

I've little doubt that like so many, many before him, this will be his last 'proper' job. If he fails here, nobody would want him. If he succeeds, he'll be here for donkey's, and his last act will be to give his blessing to the statue of him we've had commissioned.

I might be biased, but if you're a serious manager of taste and distinction this is the job. Clough knew it. Crack this and you're a legend.

Unai gets it.

[Monty]

Well, top half, clear progression, that sort of thing. But for the first time in ages we have someone with a genuine record in cup competitions, and last time I checked there are still a couple of those available this year.

Spot on.

[paul_e]

This season, top half and a good run in at least one of the cups.

Next season, challenging for European qualification through the league and good cup runs.

[Legion]

This season- consolidation in the league and a decent couple of cup runs.

Next season- league champions and FA and League Cup winners.
