The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Man Utd appoint Ruben Amorim

Amorim I reckon is already lined up to replace Pep, that’s why Viana is making the move.

 

Ornstein usually spot on but not 100% on these things.. I think they’ll approach and haggle and it will put him off. City are so much better run as a club, they just pay generally what the asking is and are decisive about it which is the most important bit.

Unless that's already been discussed, which I doubt as there's no guarantee Pep will go then I would be very surprised if he turned this move down.

I know nothing of Amorim but I hope it's not him. While their are systemic issues at Man Utd, I'm not sure they'll carry on being completely shit forever. A good manager can turn a club round. Chelsea for example seem to be back on track despite being a shitshow.

 

Feel like we've rode our luck with crap Man Utd managers and they'll get something that works eventually. 

 

Having said that, id pay good money to see the soon to be Sir Gareth Southgate stinking out Old Trafford. I fear they've got more sense than that though

Well, if it is Amorim, and he still fucks up, it will be even more funnier and hillarious. You can bring in any promising foreign coach, but the PL is something entirely different to what they would have experienced previously.

 

and if he does fail, guess who Gary Neville will still blame?

They (ex players) have too much of a voice imo (long may it continue) - Don’t see G Neville piping up about what his mate has done to Valencia

His weekly 200k salary from Chelsea stopped this month so its probably about time he finds another job to support his family

 

Would make sense why he turned Rangers down a year ago. Be crazy to take that pay cut. :lol:

Really curious to see how this works out, the profile is remarkably similar to the last guy they just spent a fortune on and binned off. 

He's solved their fullback problem, so he's onto a good start.

Man United will never sort itself out, until the Glazer's sell up.

 

Poisoned chalice.


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.

Let’s see how good this guy is, much easier being top dog in the Portuguese league than the big prem. 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.

Spurs were utter shit under him after they sold Bale.

 

Nice bit of revisionism this.

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.

Whatever happened to AVB?

 

President of Porto now, which caused a bit of drama that led to them losing Sergio Concecaio as coach, as he was backing the previous president during the elections.
