Change the team culture permanently and stay at the club as our coach/manager for 10+ years. I feel he could win us 3-5 trophies in 10 years between Europe and the cups. Unai already feels like he will he up there as one of the most important figures in our history. All we need to do that is to keep on moving forward and never stagnating. Lots of people are still sleeping on how good he is . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Remember when other fans and pundits laughed at Sir Alex’s comments following our Newcastle defeat? He wasn’t wrong though and Unai again proves how one defeat doesn’t define you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany is basically Bayern and a supporting cast of other teams putting an extended pre-show on for the Munich victory parade every year.

Where instead of instantly collapsing after he leaves, he leaves us with the infrastructure and institutional knowledge to continue a dominant run for a decade after like pep did with barca and Bayern. Yeah, those teams were really struggling till Pep rocked up..... FML 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in hindsight, he was probably looking at elements, patterns of play and factors us layman's weren't. OBS was hard to see beyond all the catastrophe of the day as a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyeddie Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It's great to have a manager that buys either the player he needs or doesn't buy anyone. This will reduce the likelihood of a bomb squad, which would kill us with FFP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He's just the best. I love it when he's asked a question and you can tell it gets lost in translation and he talks about something similar but at the same time, nothing about what was asked. The interviewers let him talk and seem to appreciate the effort he puts in regardless and move on respectfully. He really is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2023 That press conference was class. You can see he’s been given the keys and he’s in his element. He just wants to manage/ every single aspect of the job he thrives in. The human side of him just shines through when talking about the academy and Phil. Some good questions thrown at him all answered with dignity. Loved how he explained the Coutinho situation. True gent of the game. His mentality is rubbing off on all the players. This is just a great time. Been waiting absolute yonks for these days to return 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I just love him. He's just a lovely person on top of being an elite coach. I don't know why coaches nowadays think they need to be assholes to succeed or to project some sort of gravitas to their players. Whenever Unai speaks, everyone listens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 One of the many things that I love about Unai, is that he makes decisions based upon the long term benefits of the club. We have had so many charlatans managing our club who are only concerned with the short term, safe in the knowledge that they probably won’t be around for long. Unai is different. He will make solid decisions based upon what’s best for the short, medium and long term. It means that we can be opportunistic and dynamic whenever a transfer window opens. It also means that when/if he leaves, the new manager will be working from a very solid base. Unai is a legend already. This has been a brilliant window for us in every way. We can now sit back and enjoy the football until January. Lovely stuff. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Emery just comes across as a totally decent bloke with a complete lack of ego. The fact that he’s also a world class tactician is a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
