What would Unai Emery need to do to get the sack at Aston Villa?

Emery is more embedded at Villa than many outsiders realise, but where’s the line that could change that?

It's now four unbeaten for Yokohama F. Marinos, who beat Mito HollyHock 2-0. Riku Yamane scored their second goal with a tremendous half-volley. And yes, it was a half-volley.
