He's solved their fullback problem, so he's onto a good start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s true to an extent and Ratcliffe has a whiff of Ashley about him in terms of pissing loads of people off. Ashworth and Barrera will slowly start to have an effect I think though and Ten Hag was clearly never up to it ability wise. Amorim appears to be a talented manager but they’re going to have to start getting their recruitment right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember AVB, similar age to this guy and was no where near. Villas Boas was hounded out by player power at Chelsea after 8 months when John Terry questioned his tactics in front of Abramovich. Chelsea won the FA Cup and Champions League that season as well. Was that all down to Di Matteo? Similarly, he was sacked at Spurs after 18 months despite having the third highest win ratio of any of their managers, and the highest since 1946. They were 8 points off the top of the league when he was dismissed. That's usually as good as Spurs can hope for if you ask me. I think nowhere near is a little bit of a stretch. He didn't just get a fair crack at it. Amorim will get more than a fair crack at us if he's the man brought in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm speaking in facts not opinion Neesy. The facts are: He had the third highest win ratio of any of their managers, and the highest since 1946. They were 8 points off the top of the league when he was dismissed. That's not well off it, in regards to Spurs. The fact they had just lost Bale is even more reason to excuse his sacking.

Ginola14 Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 presumably Ratcliffe penny pinching again, surely they could pay a bit extra comp to release Amorim and his coaching staff earlier instead of wasting a couple of weeks that could prove valuable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, if they lose against Villa which is likely without VDV, then dont beat Ipswich which is pretty unlikely I think he is in trouble. After that its City, Fulham, Bournemouth and Chelsea. Can see them losing 4 of their next 6 league games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 Have to expect Man U will have a considerable upturn in performance. New manager bounce, dark cloud lifted. We all have experienced the same here previously and it can really help the confidence and momentum. Just need to hope this new guy is gonna be another Ten Hag rather than a Pep or Klopp level manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Spurs are as all in on Ange now as they once were, lose to Chelsea and Fulham and I think frustrations will start showing. Also think they are due an absolute spanking by someone.
