    You one of the "anyone would do better than Wenger" brigade.
    hindsight is great. Emery managed PSG and won the league, won 3 Europa leagues... so he isn't a nobody with no pedigree at all. Just hasn't worked out for us. He isn't the right manager to take us forward/stop us moving backwards.

    Just not doing anything about it... shouldn't be the option.

    Yeah, but it's not hindsight, is it? I wasn't the one going on and on about how inept Wenger was and how literally anyone would do better.
    I was the one saying that the club has other problems - Kronke for one - and simply removing Wenger, although that needed to happen, wouldn't immediately fix everything.
    That said, I expected Emery to do better than he has. The talk about his meticulous preparation for each game sounded encouraging.

    Some of us actually knew this would happen. Because guess what, this is the same crap that's happened at every club he's coached at.

    Remember the job he had before PSG, were the players went to the owner and told him if Emery doesn't go, they ain't playing.

    But enough of Emery.

    This is a club that's being run by people who don't seem to understand that they are overseeing a club in London, that plays in England.

    No one making major decisions, knows anything bout this club or the league. Just a bunch of Spanish jobbers, who managed to finesse Kroenke and Gazidis.

    I'm not going to pretend I knew this would happen - I don't follow football closely enough, I didn't imagine Emery would be this useless.
    But I did know that Wenger wasn't as bad as some on here were pretending, I knew the owner was a problem and simply removing Wenger wasn't going to fix that.
    Emery hasn't done the things I thought he'd do but the notion that Wenger was this bumbling idiot and so inept that anyone would do better has been shown to be horseshit.

    Didn't know much about Emery, but he had an impressive trophy haul and sounded meticulous to the nth degree. However, I always felt his away record was ominous and didn't really see how or why that should be ignored.

    Now we can't even get it together at home.

    They were all Europa League titles, cause his team couldn't qualify for CL in la liga before Atletico started their current form.

    And let's not forget how Jardim made him look like a moron his first season at PSG. And also he didn't win a single away league game his last season at Sevilla.


    Oh no, signs weren't there
