Our Harv.

Emery is getting the Madrid job so the new Billa boss may want Elliott.

I'd surprised if Real goes that route again. Emery has finished top 2 twice in his career. Both times for PSG. Its one of the reasons I cant understand why people think he's good enough to manage us.

 

[Momo]

Which side has he been in charge of that could expect to win the title?

 

[tomasjj]

Is he? He never wanted Harvey.
We did something similar with Kabak.

There are many things you can say. What he said is unnecessary.

He doesn't seem the sort to tolerate the behaviour of the divas in Madrid, like Alonso. Can't see it working out well for him either, unless the big cheeses there are putting their footdown.

 

[Momo]

Madrid and sensible decision making? Nah.

 

[mark1975]

It's a poisoned chalice, particularly for slightly lower profile managers like Emery. They pick them because they are easy fodder, until someone they really want becomes available.

Yeah, I'm guessing Monchi had another vision for that signing than Emery. Shame for Harv. Read from a Villa journo that Harvey is exemplary in his behavior. Training hard, polite, great pro and always at the home games even if he isnt in the squad.
People like him deserve much better.

When Harvey was loaned, Monchi had a deal lined up to send Buendia to Leverkusen (I think). But when that fell through, Buendia returned to Villa and had a good start to the year. Writing was on the wall after that.

We saw this movie play out before when Rafa went to Madrid. Tactically brilliant, emotionally a bit cold, struggles to manage egos, out in a flash. And Rafa came from Madrid and knew what he was in for and still didn't last a full season. Knives would be out very quickly.
