Petit wants Emery gone

Emmanuel Petit has called for the head of Unai Emery amidst reports of his sack from Arsenal.

‘I believe it’s time for Unai Emery to leave Arsenal,’ he said, speaking to Paddy Power.

‘The results are not good at all. I don’t recognise this team anymore and I don’t recognise this club any more.

‘Now they look like an average team without any inspiration or creativity – and I don’t think that’s solely down to the players. My opinion is that most of the players have given up on Emery, so it’s time for him to go.’

He said the Gunners had ‘no spirit and no hunger’ in their defeat to the Foxes, adding: ‘I wondered to myself, “What is going on at this club? What is happening to this club?”

‘What the club came out and said about Emery’s job being safe is not true at all. Everyone knows this, the typical official language clubs send out to the press and fans when things are not going well, when they sense tension.

This is a political answer and most of the time when I hear officials or shareholders talk like this it’s proof for me that they’re already thinking about sacking the manager.
