They are also 2 of the biggest managerial names and 2 of the best managers in world football. So of course they will get to do what they want.
Liverpool are desperate for success so Klopp was always going to get time and the ability to reinvest all money available where he needed to. Man City are desperate for the CL so of course Guardiola was going to be allowed to spend whatever he wanted on whatever he needs.
You can't compare the calibre of Klopp and Guardiola to Emery, the previous 2 were so-called super managers, Emery isn't.
Anyone remember the narrative, the Prem had most of the super managers, Mourinho, Conte, Guardiola, Klopp and Wenger. Only one missing was Ancellotti
You're right, and I don't disagree with you, but what I am saying is these guys were still afforded the apparent luxury that is time to right the previous wrongs. It's taken Klopp and Pochettino 3 years to get them to the level they are now. Yet our fanbase, judging by the comments I've read by certain posters on here, don't seem to have the patience to give Emery time. Which is ridiculous when you consider all the changes that have happened at the club in less than a year.
Liverpool owners didn't invest any of their personal wealth into the club, they made a lot of money from player sales which then allowed them to buy the likes of Van Dijk, Alisson etc to strengthen their weak points. We could have done this too, but the previous regime let our best players run their contracts down when it was made clear a lot earlier that they weren't going to extend their stay at the club. We could easily have got £200m from Sanchez, Gnabry, Ramsey, Cazorla, Wilshere et al if we'd dealt with player contracts smarter. And instead gave bumper contracts to the likes of Jenkinson and Elneny.
So there has been a lot of financial mismanagement at the club that has contributed to our demise.
Our personal opinions on Emery aren't that important. Unless he has us 10th or 11th, there is no justification for sacking him now or anytime soon, which is what a few other posters have proposed. So, along with Mislintat and Sanllehi, he will need the opportunity to bring in new blood.
Once we get a bit more money, which we will in the Summer from sponsorship deals, and when the likes of Ramsey, Koscielny, Cech, Jenkinson, Elneny etc are off the wage bill, we should be in a healthier position to get better players.
