Alan Doh'liver 219 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's what I thought, I don't think we would have expressed confidence that he was on his way here unless he had given some indication that he was on board. Emery's a good manager, but you would have to question his character. He should just have politely turned us down after hearing our proposal if he had doubts. Seems like he accepted the job, then bottled it when he came under pressure at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Doh'liver 219 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I also came across reports that some players were ridiculing Emery in his latter days at Arsenal, I did wonder how he would hold up here under the spotlight. He apparently used to ask players opinions on what was going wrong. Seems like he might be a bit of a fanny in retrospect, might have dodged a bullet.

Polarboy 2124 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 What's the bet that Jones plays the exact same team as the last two games on Saturday, given he'll very likely be in charge. The men in white coats should be called if he does, given he'll have qualified for insanity. Maybe Howe will be in place before then, but I can't see him making major changes given how little time he'll have with the players, so he'll likely let Jones take the lead more or less and be on a watching brief. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the opposite of what a mercenary would do and I respect that.

Isegrim 8941 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Quiff being against Howe does give me hope (unless CT is bigging him up, then it would be a stalemate) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle 2896 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Aye I think Eddie Howe could simply be the worst statement of intent they could possibly make. Well other than not booting the cabbage on day one, which of course actually did happen, really did happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1072 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Whatever happens, I've never had so many posts to catch up on between shite match thread titles. You'd barely be able to find three posts midweek never mind three of four pages in one thread. We have truly hit the big time boys!

Dougle 2896 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 And all this talk about how much we are going to spend in January or the summer…. Where does this belief come from? Coz the new owners are rich? Mike Ashley was fairly fucking rich compared to some far healthier spenders ffs. My mate Steve is the wealthiest bastard I know yet his fridge is always empty, never has the heating on (hoose is Baltic), has a bus pass (free travel), still wears clothes he bought 20, 30 years ago “still in good nick mate”. Yet the daft get will happily drop £250 quid on a new shirt he wont ever wear, or pay £100 for a toaster coz its an investment and “err makes nice toast”. Wealthy fuckers ay?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I mean Howe being the next option is simply bizarre. It's like whittling it down to Julia Roberts and Carol Thatcher to be your lass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35440 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Wow, it's the end of the world as we know it. The new owners won't spend and Eddie Howe is our 5 year plan. Bring back Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
