Leeroy Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 If he ever were to leave (hopefully not and he's here 10+ years), I'd go for Amorim or Fonseca who have real pedigree and would probably do well here. Iraola too maybe who seems a talented young coach, albeit at smaller clubs. I don't think Unai would be thinking about leaving soon but you're never sure in football. The owners appointed him in the first place though so have proven they can identify a top manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 lol... Why on earth would he leave? We've already built the entire club around him in the past year and a half. Would Man United do the same for him? Not a chance... In fact, they've done anything but support their managers since Fergie retired... It shows just how out of touch the media is.

Let’s not forget, Goldstein is not only a diehard United fan, but also paid to incite people to ring up his shitty radio station. That said, if United did acquiesce to all of Emery’s conditions, maybe he would leave. You’d like to think he wouldn’t, especially since he’s been burned at the ‘bigger’ clubs he’s worked at previously, but you never know. Might be too good an opportunity to turn down.

Mantis Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'd be fairly confident that Emery wouldn't go to United. Too much shit there, he wouldn't get anywhere near as much control and they have a very toxic fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got to be careful here because football has shown time and time again that people do leave, the whole we're on the way up utd are on the way down why would anyone change us for them is dangerous because they are still a far bigger team than us and football simply doesn't work like that All that said I agree, the problem with the likes of goldstein, a trait of being both someone in the media and a man utd fan, is that he can see that Emery is good but he hasn't got a clue what makes him good, man utd aren't set up in a way that would suit Emery whilst also having existing players and no doubt new signings with a mentality or at a level that suits him, as talented as Emery undoubtedly is he won't fix man utd, he wouldn't fit there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted April 17 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17 Unai won’t be going to Utd. Dave ‘mystery package’ Brailsford will not want to hand over ultimate power and influence to Unai like Villa have. They will want a flexible coach without too many staff, who can slot into a structure devised by them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Among the records Unai has broken, Villa have now had the most times catching the opponent offside in a season in the premier league era with 147 and counting. The previous high was Liverpool with 144 in the 21-22 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery would fix United but it would take a lot of money. Obviously I am desperate for him to stay but there is no question Man Utd will always have great pulling power.

I concur, Sir!!! It's a nice sentiment. And based on history and club size he is of course right. But based on our squad and wages we are definitely punching above our weight at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
