I saw a clip where he was asked if there has been any contact. Although I guess we have to appear to be doing everything above board. I doubt there has been any significant contact - maybe a hi and good luck. Emery is meant to be a real analytics manager and he's not going to fire off a load of advice when he hasn't met even the players or seen them train. I'm sure he's been looking at videos and data and stuff to prepare but won't have any input yet. IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I don't like to put too much stock in press conferences but watch Danks' is a big contrast from previous ones. Genuinely seems like he wants to help the team perform at their best, whereas we've had previous coached who seemed to be out for themselves first and foremost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Emery will have to be perceived not to have been involved until 1 November. That is very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Let's be honest, the garden always looks rosy when the sun is shining. It will be interesting to see how he sets us up tomorrow. Hopefully we Will be on the front- foot, out them traps quickly, just like last Sunday. That was vintage Villa, which Is a Villa I'm sure, Danks is familiar with. I get the sense that he may well be staying regardless of Emery's arrival. I do hope that is the case, who knows, one day, he may well become permanent manager of this great club.

supermon Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 It would be great to keep Danks on so he soaks up ask that knowledge and experience from Emery n the team, would be great to try and mould our own conveyor belt of coaches and managers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that's true or not won't be an answer the public will ever know. There a difference between paid work and voluntary, freedom of speech and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Really impressed with his press conference. I think we’ll keep him (and despite what he says about not knowing whether he’ll be kept on he doesn’t seem like he’s worried) but I also think this has probably given him a taste of management and he could move on of his own volition at some point soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Loved the presser. It's not about him - it's about the team. And he's intelligent. Edited October 28, 2022 by Tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Have to admit didn’t really know that much about him before he joined. Knew he was part of the England set up previously but that was about it. Really warming to him as he speaks well, is humble in his answers with the press but I get the feeling he knows his stuff and loves the team. I hope him, cuts and Mcphee stay (I think the well worked corner was one of his) but we will see. In the short term since Gerrard left I’ve been impressed.

Currently half way through an episode on YouTube! It's funny to look back on Nathan Barley as possibly Chris Morris' most prescient work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
