The guy had the fourth highest wage bill in La Liga yet Sevilla finished 5th, 5th & 7th including a disastrous season where they didn't win an away game all season (inb4 he'll fit right in). This was masked by the consecutive EL wins though that was driven by them failing miserably in the CL and crashing out in the group stages. And winning the league at PSG isn't a hard accomplishment ..... heck I could probably do it - yet he managed to lose out one year to Jardim.
Fuck it, I've actually sort of reversed my mind from earlier and now would almost prefer Arteta ...... at least there is a vision and a much higher ceiling.
Don't buy the spin that Emery was always their guy emanating from the Arsenal PR room - I think either Ivan got cold feet over Arteta or something happened (Arteta demanded more say on transfers?). Either way Ivan and his "process" look completely amateur.
He has my full support but I'll be honest, he doesn't have as much leeway for me as the others.
