Unai Emery: Adios

[KrissKringle]

As it should be. We’re not made to sit in offices for 8 hours a day until we lose our senses and have to retire.

Or to coach teams until we're out of the top 4 race and have to be sacked. Carpe diem and all that jazz, I say!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Thanks for trying Unai I guess, hope he goes back to Spain and has some success. Well I'm not really that bothered but Adios.

Summary:

* His oddities, such as refusing to discuss the Europa League final plans properly until the end of the league season, or allowing the club’s travel co-ordinator to deliver a cringeworthy team talk before a vital game, eventually grew too much. As he flitted between philosophies, he ultimately angered his leading players so much that by this week they had given up on him, as had an been

That's some damning reading, I feel a bit sorry for Emery and I do agree that Özil sounds like a royal pain in the a*s to deal with.

I suppose all of it is part of the job though and Emery still did very poorly this season

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Good riddance Emery and thank you for absolutely nothing except maybe Guendouzi.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Actually starting to feel bad for the guy now (although not that bad considering his payout..). He should have been let go in the summer and avoided all this humiliation. He and the club would have been much better off. Raul and Edu to blame for this season imo.

 

[Steps]

So long and thanks for **** all.

 

[GDeep™]

Only sympathy you give him is that he’s probably known for 2/3 weeks that he’s getting sacked.

 

[El Duderino]

He's brazilian. Their motto is "Samba si, trabajo no."

Wrong language, amigo.

 

[wigner]

Arsenal are not going to get anyone better than Emery.

 

[KrissKringle]

Wrong language, amigo.

 

[Trilly]

This guy will never get the opportunity to work with a big club ever again. His stock is an all time low

I think he’s shown that he’s just not a big club manager and that’s fine. Good managers seem to be rarer than good players these days, maybe it’s always been that way actually.

And Arsenal are still a "big" club? I think he's shown that he is unable to succeed at a underfunded, dysfunctionally run soon-to-be midtable club chasing past glories.

Very nice message from Unai. hopefully he can turn things around in future.

It has been an honour to be the Arsenal head coach.

To all the fans, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me to understand and feel the greatness of Arsenal. To all of you who have supported us from every corner of the globe, all of you who have come to the Emirates, all of you who have waited in the rain and cold just to greet me after a game. I want to tell all of you that I have worked with passion, with commitment and with effort.

I would have liked nothing more than to have achieved better results for you.

I also want to send a message of gratitude to all Arsenal employees for the way they have treated me. The greatness of Arsenal is in every director, executive, employee, assistant and volunteer.

In particular, I want to highlight Ivan Gazidis, who welcomed me to the club, and Raul Sanllehi, Edu and Vinai Venkatesham for their respect, companionship and help. Until the very last minute I have been treated with honour and honesty. And of course, I send my sincere gratitude to the Kroenke family, for their trust.

It has been a year and a half full of emotions, of great moments and some other more bitter ones, but not a single day has gone by without me stopping to think about how lucky I have been to work for this club with these players and their professional and personal qualities.

They have always honoured the shirt they wear. They deserve your support.

I had already experienced a lot in football, but I have enjoyed and learned a lot in England, in the Premier League, about respect for professionals and about the purity of football.

My best wishes always.

A very nice and dignified message. It's the least we deserve.

I'm disappointed that he didn't start his message with "Good ebening."
Doesn't he have any manners?

Beat me to it.

He's not Mourinho.

 

[DanDare]

He's a nice guy and it's a nice letter and he tried his best but it's hard to forgive what he did to Ramsey...
