Unai Emery - Confirmed as the New Arsenal Manager - ORNSTEINNNN

[Niall_Quinn]

To be fair he won the Europa League years in a row (which would be hard to do) and they beat Liverpool who seemed to be destined to win it in the final, convincingly as well, he also did everything but win the CL at PSG and this season Real the finalists beat them, they were pretty impressive up to that point.

In addition you were happy with Arteta who not only has won nothing, he's never even managed in his life, this is big upgrade over him. Thought PSG really impressed when they played us as well and they topped the group with Bayern in it this season.

IMO he's a very good manager and will do some good at the club, his style of play is also easy on the eye.

To be fair, I was talking to cripps.

I said months ago, I'd have been happy with a chimpanzee taking over from Wenger. Arteta, Emery, this isn't hugely important. The big event has already happened.

All well and good. But this is a guy that went a whole season without winning an away game.

For all his great tactics, his PSG teams struggled against Ligue 1 teams that actually had a plan and didn't just concede from the start.

And i don't wanna hear bout his time at Valencia. Cause all he did was just accomplish the minimum requirement.

Woo hoo

Klopp was awful in his last season at Dortmund, sometimes a manager exhausts a club. At least he won a trophy in the midst of that.

What a surprise. Gaz is so unpredictable.

I’m surprised he has been kept informed of ongoing developments or is his opinion based on throwaway journo guess work!

There's a lot of confirmation bias going on IMO. Can you imagine the reaction if we knew for 2 weeks it was Emery in pole position but suddenly Arteta got the job? I think people had convinced themselves that hiring someone with zero experience was going to be revolutionary but now we've got more of a safer bet we're all a little underwhelmed. The most important thing to remember is we haven't got a dud, the guy is clearly a proper coach and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

This is the most sensible post in this thread.

Some of you guys have lost it, if you ever had it in the first place.

Stop moaning and get behind the new manager and let's see what he can do.

Has this appointment actually been confirmed yet?

Not yet but it'd be bonkers if he's not got it. Sounds like a done deal.

Hard to imagine we'll soon be starting a season where different things happen. Can't quite picture it.
