Not sure how he can think that to be honest. I think we were threatening something good but every opportunity we had to move up the table we lost or drew in games we should have won. Sad to see him go but don't think he can have any complaints. Oh sure, I know he was ultimately pretty crap, as was Ten H, but I just assumed they were OK with that.

Was listening to gold bridge whilst I worked and his take was a bit mental to me Said he hasn't been backed and the club asking him to change his system was akin to asking a plumber to paint your fence.

Yeah, something behind the scenes going on. They looked alright yesterday considering the team they had to put out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club should not be telling the manager what system they should be playing. You're aren't even a head coach then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 2 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Deserved or unfair? @Froggy Don't think he can complain but I'd have liked him to have a bit longer. Think we were trending in the right direction. Poor results lately but missing literally all of our best players and were still avoiding defeat for the most part. Sounds like he fell out with the board though. Always the beginning of the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Man United and Chelsea trying to be project clubs but miss the fact that managing those clubs is as much of a political and emotional appointment as much as a tactical one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Proper toxic at Old Trafford these days. A good man like Amorim is better off out of there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Weird timing on the Amorim one. He's been utter shite for most of his tenure and then after the best period he's put together he gets the bullet. What a waste of time. Can see them doing Carrick or someone as interim for a bit whilst they figure out who's next. Can see Southgate as we know Sir Jim loves British Beef.

We don't know enough behind the scenes to make a decision on that I think. On the surface, I think he was backed more than most managers would ever be backed at any club. He apparently wanted Ruben Neves this window and was told no and that caused a lot of tension. I'm sure more will come out soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew the system he was going to play from day 1 and they still bought into him. Yes he has been poor, but the guys who appointed him should be held accountable as well.

Checko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Seemed inevitable after his comments yesterday, like he was having his final say. I actually quite like Amorim, where do we reckon he goes now? France, Germany? Back to Portugal? Is there someone impressively average Man U could hire in his place? Edited January 5 by Checko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Sounds like Fletcher is getting the reigns until the summer Quote Former midfielder and current Under-18s coach Darren Fletcher is expected to take charge on an interim basis. His first game would be away at Burnley on Wednesday night with a permanent appointment likely to wait until the summer.

Sir Joel Inton Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Bahahaha Only problem is this gives them a chance to make a competent appointment, or appoint someone likeable which means I need to start hating them. What a complete shitshow they are It’s truly beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
