I was keen on Emery from the time he was first linked, but I've got to say, the more I read about him the more convinced I am.

He's the real deal.

This is the key for me. We can't predict the future, obviously, but this man has the experience and knowledge to build something great here, and while there are potential risks, you can't really eliminate them all anyway. I'm even more pleased by Emery than I was for MON, and I really liked MON. 

This is now our future to **** up. It's all in our hands now, and I can't wait to see what Emery can do at Villa.

Not if you read Newcastle and Arsenal fans on Twitter.  Yesterday morning a manager like Emery would go nowhere near us, now they are saying he's crap.  Funny that.

I probably post a similar post each manager search but I never think hard about our manager recruitment. Sure there's some i'd like, some I definitely wouldn't, but there is so much luck in a managerial appointment. Successful ones fail and some surprise a few. It just seems the stars align at certain times for clubs and managers.

That said on paper Emery is probably the best manager we could have got and lots of things regarding his appointment, the club and Emery himself just seem to fit. So i'm very much looking forward to the rest of the season and beyond.

Also it seems very positive on a whole from the majority of fans, which hasn't happened on this scale for a while.

Now this is a managerial appointment that you throw away what we built with Deano for. 

Over the moon. 

I’d go further…this is a manager that Deano built the platform for.

on the arsenal forums in general they seem to like him and think he's a good guy that was unfairly treated by the AFTV crowd, there's a couple that are moaning that he's a cup manager rather than a league manager but they probably dont realise that we would take a cup and finished 11th, thats not the worst thing for us

twitter is more likely to be that AFTV crowd so there still mindlessly hounding him

i do think its funny how fans of other clubs have given us the name "villafake" after his move from villarreal

Completely agree; Gerrard almost tore up the work Smith started, but hopefully Emery can now get it back on track whilst taking it to the next level.

yeah i agree, if we had sacked deano and appointed him you could see the logic and the argument over him having a higher ceiling

Just had a look at his Arsenal team, and I might be biased, but our team is better. With the exception of Aubamayang and maybe Ozil, that Arsenal team was terrible, and he still finished 5th and got to Europa final.

So buzzed about this. So excited to see what he’ll make of this team. Proper manager  

 

McGinn is going to be having palpitations if he watches this.
