He's president of Porto now.

 

He won a couple of titles with Zenit took a sabbatical to become a rally driver before a brief comeback at Marseille. 
 

 

As you do

Fair play.

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

Easy to keep good relations with Sporting by allowing this though, especially if they’ve got a player in mind they want to sign from them in near future.

Peculiar timing. :lol:

Winning last night?

 

The man played their most important player at left back in midweek and he pulled a hammy. A fairly stupid decision.

I think that's a statement with the strong benefit of hindsight.

 

They knocked City out of a competition they'll really want to win.

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.

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.

I’m an Ange sceptic but this is extremely hopeful.

It is hopeful but I can see it happening. 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.

You hope this new guy is going to be another Ten Hag? What beating you in a cup final and costing you European football on the last day of the season?

Wouldn’t think so. Pressure is immense there. Even a couple of defeats, or things not looking better/different that EtH will have the media and some of their fans questioning if it was the right appointment. 
 

All of the talk surrounding EtH when he went there was about his “philosophy” etc. He was just as highly rated as Amorim. Ten Hag will probably go away now and be very  successful at a less deluded club without the shadows of Ruud and the red nosed dram deer hovering over him. Getting them to be feared as a serious threat again is what all of their fans want. It will be a lot more difficult than getting some wins against the likes of Estoril and Arouca.

You’re not seriously suggesting the Man U fans / club have given him a rough ride? They’ve actually been very restrained in their criticism by and large and let’s be honest, he’s spent far too much money for them to be consistently such a mess every week.

Their fans have been ridiculously patient with ETH.

I live in Manchester, so not their biggest fan but of the many sticks to beat their fanbase with, manager impatience definitely isn't one.

100%. I’ve barely heard anyone from here say anything negative about him personally.

It’s mainly the media and a smaller section of their fanbase whose reactionary opinions get amplified by said media. It’s bad with us but 10x worse with them having a rotating cast of ex-players being given a free mic to say what they want before and after every live match.
