Most fans saw the writings on the wall well before that.People get judgements wrong, its a fact of life, not sure why it needs to be made into a case of who was right or wrong to be honest.
There were factors that gave a small amount of optimism last season, the run to the EL final, some semi decent performances turning around 1st leg deficits on the way, seem to remember we outplayed Chelsea in the league when Ramsey nailed Jorginho out of the game, were competitive against Liverpool in the 1st league game, and faired well against Sp**s, club that together with the long unbeaten run, Torreira having a great 1st half to the season, Holding looking good until he got injured and there were fairly good reasons to feel like we were slowly building toward something
As it turns out the top four collapse and abysmal EL final game were the first sight for many of us that he may not be the man for the job
then we rolled into the transfer window which most deemed to be good business, got the LB we needed, supposedly added more goals to the attack (we were too reliant on Auba/Laca), signed a promising CB for the future, bagged a Madrid starlet on loan and offloaded some dross, again plenty of reasons to be omptimistic
Then the season started, the poor general overall play was still there, the defense is still a shambles, he still doesn't know his best 11 and the formation keeps changing, so the doubt creeps back in
Then we run into the captaincy debacle followed by the Xhaka incident and the wheels have well and truly come off
Its still not that much of a stretch to see why people were optimistic, as much as it is not that much of a stretch to see why people had their doubts from day one.
I heard certain players, Veratti being one, were unhappy with the formation and style Emery wanted them to play. Even went above his head to the owner. I'm unsure about the legitimacy of this, but the aforementioned player certainly did not like the way Emery did things.He's a good manager though, probably has great ideas, executing them at a PSG or Arsenal is probably abit much for him.
Sums Emery's management up perfectly! lol
Most PSG players have been having digs at Emery ever since he left.I heard certain players, Veratti being one, were unhappy with the formation and style Emery wanted them to play.

I believe the board compared last season to Wenger's final season. Basically, Emery did better. It's obviously the wrong benchmark.Realistically the guy should have been sacked in the summer. Over the course of the last half season or so we have been in mid table form in spite of many of those games coming against teams we should be taking 3 points off of. It's clear as day that we have to rely on other teams around us not performing to make top 4 with him as manager. They almost did last year but his sheer awfulness bottled that too. The team is going backwards even from the beginning of his tenure. The Özil situation, this Xhaka situation, the farce that was the whole captaincy selection process in the first place and the absolutely offensive "football" on show every week should already have resulted in his termination. This is not Arsène Wenger whom I appreciate more, even at his worst, every second I have to watch this punchline manager. Emery has achieved nothing for this club and should be relegated to a sad footnote, a brief error in the club's history rather than allow this tailspin to continue.
I'd have nothing proper to regret if I did:rofl: That's what we love about you mate @Mark Tobias unlike Emery you don't mince words .
