Life After Emery Begins

[Slartibartfast]

Totally agree. Its a huge risk for us but for arteta if it goes horribly wrong he will end up like steve mcclaren

On the other hand, if Arteta is up to the job he could be somebody who could fill it for a long time. Maybe not Arsène Wenger long time, but there wouldn't be many job openings that could pry him away. So let's hope for that.

I'm not as dead set against his appointment as I was 18 months ago, but he certainly hasn't been well advised in choosing to come now rather than in June when this **** show will have passed and given him temporary respite to formulate a plan.

Taking charge before we visit Everton, Bournemouth & host Chelsea/United is catastrophic timing. He could've at least told them that he'd come after the game vs United to give him a period of 10 days to work with something.

These are grim times at the club & the fans will turn the moment an honorable loss turns into a thrashing. And with the cowards filling our ranks, that's almost a certainty.

I, for one, welcome our new lego-haired, iPad merchant overlord.

Because of the game yesterday. How many times do you want it repeated?

You what mate? Say again!!

More than most other new managers, the make up of his back room staff is going to be very interesting,

Speculation on Twitter about Xabi Alonso coming in as his #2 and Victor Valdes (who was with him at La Masia) coming in as GK coach. Wouldn't do much for the anti-Spanish sentiment on here due to Emery and Raul.

Hopefully he can coach our useless lot at the tactical fouling that City excel in.

May as well keep Ljunberg in charge till summer then bring in a proven experienced coach.

Artetas a smart good guy who I've actually met before; but worry about his lack of experience. I also recall hearing that certain players at the club did not want him to replace Wenger.

Why? They’ve obviously given to Arteta because they see something in him which they don’t with Freddie.

Would cost an arm and a leg for that kind of a staff lineup

Experience is overrated.

Yo yo, Arteta clan where you at? @Furious @GDeep™ @hydrofluoric acid

Just over 18 months ago we were laughed at, well they're not laughing anymore.

 

[Tumblin'Dice]

I really wish Arsenal was less predictable.

Yes, we already know what your type is...

2 years time you won't be either.

Who do you want???

 

[Tourbillion]

Announce him FFS.

Clearly the decision makers have seen things that have convinced them of Arteta's quality. Added to that are quality reviews from professionals in the game as well as managers like Wenger, Potchettino and of course Guardiola.

The same people also chosed Emery over Enrique in 2018..

Remember when we raised concerns about Emery and were told we were just bitter Arteta brigade boys? Good times.

You never raised any concerns about Emery. Your last post in that thread was 3 days before the Emery news broke:

Going bed. Got a plane to catch in the morning.

Should have Arteta and an STD by next week.
