It hasn't worked out for Emery, he's lost his way but with Wenger we were only going one way, we failed to qualify for the CL for two seasons running, the football was pretty boring, he wouldn't bring in the right players and he had no ambition, we were on a hiding to nothing with him, if he'd stayed we'd have just carried on going backwards and being thumped by top sides repeatedly the way that no other Arsenal manager has been. Before he arrived thumpings were almost unheard of, he made them something that we expected against the top sides.

Like I said though, Emery would not have been the manager I would have chosen, but I have no regrets about us getting rid of Wenger, it was actually quite a few years too late, by the time he left the squad was in tatters and we barly had a decent player left in the squad and had lost countless players for next to nothing or nothing, he really handicapped us with his performance in the last few years.
