Like him and wanted him to be our manager at the time, think he will do an OK job there, but nothing insane.
I think in the end we got the best outcome with Howe who has proven to be a top, top manager.
This second I can't imagine a scenario we would actually sack Howe; it would take something incredible.

He's still young for a manager and has a good CV, you have to wonder why he's going to Villa.
Could be a similar situation to Ancelloti at Everton, ie he leaves as soon as a good offer comes along. Lol.

Don't think he needs to put himself in the shop window really his reputation is there to see - 3 Europa win with Sevilla and one again with Villareal last season.
I assume he's bored of the Spanish league and wants to be in the Prem again.... and yeah, doing well at Villa could potentially make a club like Spurs or Chelsea come in for him, leaving Villa to have a manager like Lampard, lol.
Villa must be offering him some serious wonga to prise him away from Spain. It's not like they are a top 6 team, so it's quite a risk for Emery. If it goes well then fair enough, but it could more easily be a black mark on his CV. I've nothing against him, but I don't really like Villa, so I hope it doesn't go well.
Villa are paying 5m compensation to get him,Steve Bruce would have taken the job for a fifth of that.
Yeah strange one really, Villareal 4 points off Champions League spots currently so you've got to wonder what the motivation is to leave for a team 3 points above the relegation zone over here?

It's almost exactly 4 years since they sacked him, and in his last match a Villa fan lobbed a cabbage at him. They must think he's even lamer than we do.... and that's quite an achievement.
Spanish league is a bit of a broken record tbf, not as predictable as the Bundesliga, but not far off and always a 2 horse race, he would never win it with Villareal.
I can only assume he's desperate to manage in the Prem again, and wants to use this as a springboard to manage Spurs, Chelsea, Man U etc. Villa are hardly a sleeping giant, and no doubt he feels like a knob now for turning us down.
Yeah but he'd have demanded the other £4mil as an inevitable severance package!
If he gets it right then Villa could offer a very good project. While their backers aren't on our level, they have some serious money and Villa could be another to threaten the establishment. The more the merrier I say!
