man management
Man management being some of the worst I've ever seen. I know there were communication issues, but how he handled the captain issue was abysmal.
For me he provoked the Crystal Palace incident. Dragged the whole thing out way too long, spoke nonsensical and noncommittal stuff, bought himself an excuse more than anything with the player vote and most of all backed Xhaka 0% during all of it. From captaincy to the attacks/abuse targeted towards his family.
Any decent manager would have erased any doubt about who's captain during the summer break so the team and player could start the season without a giant shadow looming over them.
That, among other reasons, is why Emery lost me during the start of the season.
