hahaha, ahhhh now i get it. it's probably because of my devil's advocate post before the game about "what should emery do if he wants to stay".
fair enough, i think i did hint on my opinion on emery, but i probably shouldve made it loud and clear. i'm pretty firmly in the #emeryout camp, but my anger has evolved from towards Emery, to the management. I've long since accepted Emery is a limited manager and he's not the level that we need. just imagine letting your drunk friend drive the car, then getting angry at your friend for causing an accident. you're the idiot for not taking charge and driving the car yourself. similarly, getting angry at Emery who's not a top level manager will lead us nowhere. he's not going to voluntarily leave is he? the board needs to sack him.
for me, emery out is not negotiable. no arsenal fan that actually watches games are going to argue. but since the board are not making any moves to sack him, i was wondering what would need to happen in the next 5 games in order for Emery to at least say, he deserves to stay. essentially, the core of the question was asking what is the main thing that needs to improve for us, and in my opinion it's the defensive stability. because we cant create attacks if we keep getting dispossessed playing out the back etc. i dont think attack is the main problem, because we just have guys that can score. defending, it's a team effort.
Anyway. I apologize if this is really your opinion because I am pretty sick of flip flops. And you can pretty much see that in AFTV and also the other blogs. If those people really have a brain, they would have probably demanded that Emery leaves after Baku. But the fact that only most of them started seeing what Emery is like for the past few weeks goes to tell me that they are flip floppers and dun really have a brain. And it was a mistake that I accepted "emery" after what seems to be a ok transfer window and the fact that he did managed to get some results after that. Of course I was still Emery Out but then I was thinking maybe he could just leave after the end of the season because forcing him out would be damaging to the club since the club was still doing ok at that time and that they could probably still qualify for the champions league at that time because the players were still pretty good and I dun think you need to be a genius to lead those group of players to champions league spots.
The funny thing is people are still feeling sorry for him and say that he is a nice guy despite him getting paid 6 million pounds per year. And that for me is mind control at it's finest. I am "sorry" but most people just really cannot think. The people who we should feel sorry are those who are not earning much and yet are still fired from their jobs because of some political backstabbing. And if he is really a nice guy he should have left right now on his own because the thing is, he will not be getting much compensation anyway since he is already 18 months in a 24 months contract. Of course, I am now starting to realize that those people do not really mean what they say anyway and this is probably their avenue of making money.
The thing is, anyone who hires Emery after this round is really an idiot unless you are a semi pro side that do not play professionally. Funnily, the longer he stays, the more he is actually shooting himself in his foot. For just 3 million, he wants to damage his reputation further and tells the whole world that he is a club destroyer.
My other point is, from my observation, most people are just interested in doing their job and are not really interested in solving problems unless they really need to. Just by looking at banks, you kind of know. They could have made life very much easily by opening on say Sundays and then maybe closing their branches on a weekday. But then they dun. Ever wondered why account openings still have to be manually done at their physical bank when it can be easily done online? Even my betting account. For some reason that website is being maintained every Friday at between 2:00pm and 5:00pm. The funny thing is, this is the period of time where activity is supposed to be pretty heavy for obvious reason because most asian sporting competition are at this period of time. I can give many other examples. I would think people are not so stupid to realize all those things but then most people do not want disruptions. Of course I am deflecting from Arsenal matters but then what I am trying to imply is, it's obvious Raul does not really care for the club but rather his own interest. There is no benefit from his side to sack Emery. He probably is thinking that there ist too much trouble sacking Emery because he now have to replace Emery and there is no suitable candidates for that at the moment that is going to be cheap. Of course, the idea that replacing Emery with an interim manager does not come into his head.
