I thought we were generous???

Now we are fucking tight fist on firing Dick??

What a fucking management.

Our longer term plans are to keep losing. What discussion is to be had?
Repulsive, vomit-inducing club

I just want to know what is critical if the worst start to a season since 1983 isn’t?

Gotta hope this is typical AFC and it is just “we say we are 100% behind until he is gone”

I think the whole saga also emphasizes how hard it is to find a proper long-term replacement mid-season… while I don’t agree with them waiting another f*ing minute to fire Emery, I can see the logic in waiting to summer to appoint full-time.

This is why I am ok with Freddie until summer, with clear proviso and public clarity that “we will appoint a new manager full-time in the summer and while we love Freddie and want him to continue his development with us, he will not be our full-time hire at this time.”

my friend I don’t think any board/club CEO would go out and say “ya we’re iffy on the guy nowadays, fucker better win the next game or it’s over for him here” in public, they’ll say that they back him right up until they sack him if they ever do.

right now, Emery should not be manager. that means freddie, that means whoever should be caretaker, until they can find whoever they want to be the guy later on.

But emery should be moved on. this is the easiest sacking ever.

@oompa i hope so, but this club is very vile, and the briefs today look legitimate. Blaming the fans as ‘noise’ as well. to whoever that said that - fuck off.

Let’s not just blame this gutless cunt. The board are culpable as well.

Bunch of dickheads allowing for this farce.

I agree.
Unless we’re going for Pulis, Allardyce, Hughes, Bruce or any of the other dinosaurs that regularly climb on and off the ever revolving managerial merry-go-round, we will have to wait until the end of the season until we can give Rodgers an offer he can’t refuse.

I’m not sure if Ljundberg will be able to sort this mess out either.
He will have more than half the season and there’s no guarantee he is a better option.

If he is part of Emery’s backroom staff, as well as coaching the youth players, then surely he is partly responsible for what is going on as well.

This is just another season we will have to write off and hope the board go for the best manager rather than someone who is adequate.

Unless Emery loses his next two games he won’t be going anywhere, which is clearly frustrating but the board have got themselves in a corner of their own making and have to sit it out until the end of the season before sacking him.

Pretty much this… nothing worse than making things harder for your guy… up until the point he isn’t, they are doing the right thing by backing him fully.

No level of disdain for the inactive vertebrae loser is sufficient.

If you want to be cynical you’d say that the Board have no choice but to back him publicly.

The reality is that everyone knows he’s not going to turn it around. What makes me think the Board won’t fire him midseason is the anecdote about the club-wide email that Raul and co. allegedly released after the debacle in Baku. The letter basically said that Baku was disappointing but oh well what can you do, let’s just move on. That’s a Board that is so out of touch with things that they’d believe it’s better to let Emery flounder his way to a 9th place finish because it’s too hard to find a mid-season replacement.

I hope the home fans really let Unai and the Board have it if he’s still here in two weeks. They deserve nothing less than full out protests Newcastle or Blackpool style if he’s still here.

It’ll be a half full stadium which just transforms into apathy everywhere. So out of touch with the modern day needs of a football club.
Stagnation and mediocrity and lack of relevance runs throughout this club.

Stadium already looks half full on TV. Not sure they really give a shit.

I thought our entire issue was Wenger?? Well at least that’s what I was told a couple years ago, all we needed to do was sack him and things would be fine at AFC Lellelelelel :joy::joy::+1::+1:

Tbf Wenger likely had a big part in hiring the man whose legacy issues are the root of all our evils right now (and will continue to be maybe like fucking forever, or at least until @Stroller is on his death bed and I’m on mine prematurely with esophageal cancer).

Yeah it’ll get worse but there won’t be the vocal protest that’s wanted.
Tbf charging most expensive prices in the prem has lead to a change in the supporter whose likely to object forcefully.

A lot of folks talk about David Dein leaving but I really think it was Ivan getting hired that might be the turning point in retrospect. His tenure was nothing short of a disaster. He bungled contract situations, bought players who were total failures and fucked up the succession plan when Wenger left. He even fucked up the commercial side of things.

Yeah his legacy is being upheld by them. You must be proud.
