John Cross of Mirror Sport in London reports the Arsenal front office has given a public endorsement of Unai Emery. In front of Arsenal staff, director of football Raul Sanllehi and managing director Vinai Venkatesham were quoted as saying:
“We are as disappointed as anyone else with both our results and performances at this stage of the season. We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect. Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season, and we firmly believe Unai is the right man for the job, together with the backroom team we have in place. We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will. We never take our fantastic support for granted. We hope we can all stick together and get behind the team in this challenging period, as together we are stronger.”
