Dodgyknees Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I probably seemed hesitant re: Emery, and that wasn’t being negative. I just haven’t taken as much notice of football in general for a few years. Spent the last few days reading things about Emery, looking at his past successes and also watching videos. Pretty impressed Thank you to all who quoted me, which pushed me to research. I was never against the appointment, I just didn’t have enough facts to make a judgment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Guy I work with used to work at Arsenal and met UE a few times. Obviously as has been reported he is super nerdy about the analytics and pretty intense. When he was there his English wasn't great so he would sometimes lose track of what he was trying to get across half way through explaining something. One of the reasons sessions were really long. By all accounts he's been continuing to improve that over the last few years so hopefully less of a problem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep went to Bayern I doubt his German rolled off the tongue smoothly. I think he’ll be fine he’s already learned English so that’s half the battle, the fact that we have so many Spanish and French speaking players at the club helps to.

Popular Post TRO Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 For years, we have had managers, who have been more grateful for the job, than we being grateful for them. This might be the right way around, at last. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danks obviously can't say he has or that'll flag up as him violating his work permit application, but even if it's through an intermediary, he must have had at least contact. I've seen this written loads, and it makes sense but now I think about it, why would that affect his work permit? As long as he's not physically working in this country surely he can talk to whoever he wants without a work permit? I have to talk to people in America all the time regarding my business (mainly their stupid software playing up) and neither me or them need a work permit or permission to do so, what's stopping him having a conference call with the whole coaching team from abroad? I imagine he's got a lot to do with regards to moving countries and learning about the team and he's left this to Danks who's probably in a much better position to get the team ready for the game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your points are valid.....but I can only imagine at this stage any contact will be superficial, comments...and a bit of motivation.
