I am a little bit concerned as to why most of the candidates have turned us down, I personally think they have been told there is no money to spend or they will have no say in the transfers.

Club have officially declared that no candidate turned us down - whilst technically true, that may be only encompass those to whom we made an offer. I'm sure the likes of Simeone, Allegri, would have 'turned us down', so to speak, prior to the club making an official offer - or 'ruled themselves out of the running', for want of a better phrase.

Regarding no money to spend, there obviously is some, though admittedly and inevitably not as much as the likes of City and United

Re no say on transfers - again, probably not entirely the case. Raul and Sven, along with Gazidis, are behind the wheel on the transfer front, but would make little sense for the manager to provide no input whatsoever. It seems to be more of a combined 'team' effort.

How do you know they turned arsenal down?

it's a bit of both. Sven will do all the transfers but the manager himself has a £50M to spend on his own targets but Sven will identify the targets that he believes the club needs and then pursue their signature.

Allegri and nagelsmann both turned down Arsenal. It has been heavily reported.

Heavily reported by who Punani mate? The same people who told us Artetta was our next manager? If Artetta benzema and higuain were all total fabrication, why believe any of the bad stuff that is highly likely to be total rubbish as well.

Some people thrive in the negative stuff G62. Press have click baited everybody and had people believing all sorts. Any recruitment process at this level is a drawn out affair so unlikely anyone had an offer to turn down. The Arteta talks were undoubtably part of the interview process. If he was getting the job they would not not have spoken to Henry or others after that. I also very much doubt Emery is anywhere near as left field as some would believe. He would have been a serious contender for some time.
Time for us all to get behind him now. Even Punani.

SinGooner will get behind the team. I am a fan first of all. I hope Emery proves me wrong. I'll be over the moon if we won the league or the champions league in the next 2-3 years. It is just that i have my doubts is all but for sure i'll get behind the team and support the boys.

Get behind Emery too Punani mate, the man's done nothing wrong.
I know you really wanted Tuchel or Nanglesman but it's not Emery fault that the club didn't get either of your two favourites.
It's a bit like hoping for steak and chips for tea and coming home to find you've got egg and bacon, don't throw your dinner straight in the bin without even trying and go hungry just because it's not exactly what you hoped for :-)
Give it a go mate you might even find you like bacon and eggs after all :-)
