The Unai Emery Thread

[Villan57]

He's a Basque so we best not call him Spanish and his name unai means Shepherd in the Basque country

A real manager with real pedigree, top appointment this.

Really can’t knock this appointment and how swift it has come about, an actual top manager. When I saw the tweet from a supposed ITK this morning stating he’d be announced this evening I thought it was a load of bollocks tbh.

Im an honest man, i dont pay attention to football unless aston villa are involved. I dont follow players, stats or managers. So my input on this is wholeheartedly garbage, i know emery was once arsenal manager and did ok, seems like football people rate him. i expected a kick in the gonads from villa by appointing another no hoper, but i am happy with this appointment. No reason other than he is of a higher calibre than usual.

I could be wrong - but he seems to be getting a slightly warmer reception than Stevie G did ?

He got a raw deal from Arsenal. He may want revenge.

Either the owners got lucky or they actually are serious about this footie thing. On the surface, seems like a great appointment. Right, Unai, top six this season, nothing less.

And welcome.

Can honestly say I've not been this excited about a Villa manager since BFR.

And Emery has a far better track record than BFR in truth. This just feels so right. At last.

I read that the players were slagging him off on the bus, doing impressions of him, near the end of his tenure.

Hope we smash the arseholes in February.

Number two, party like it’s 1999
