I think the issue is this is the first time he's struggled in his managerial career, he's had instant success wherever he's been before and he's struggling to figure out what is wrong or change to something else.

 

He'll need results asap next season, I suspect he's been told to fix the fundamentals behind the scenes instead of the paper fixes they've been doing since fergie left.

 

I'm absolutely astonished at how they left themselves with only hojlund as a striker for this season.

I also think the fact he's so willing to fall on his sword seems like he knows he's made a mistake and is almost daring them to sack him so it releases him from it all. Even a poor coach can take what he's given and go someway towards changing it and making it work. This fucker has walked in and almost said - "this isn't exactly what I need. I need to a complete blank canvas or you may as well get rid of me". He's had a go at changing it but he's failed and I think he knows it too. It seems like it's just damage limitation at this point

Also every manager in the league will know exactly how to play against him already, as he only has one system. You've already seen it happen, they just get shafted every week.

He's had success playing the likes of Rio Ave, Santa Clara, Estoril and Gil Vacente each week.

 

He's going to continue to tank in the PL. He doesn't have the foggiest how to be competitive in a league where nearly every team can beat you at home if you're not playing the opposition and just trying the same tired thing over and over.

The problem he has is by the time he gets the players in to fit the system, the teams in the league will have figured out the systems weaknesses 😂 

 

Would be terrible for them to buy a load of players specifically for this system only for it to fail and then be incompatiable with the next managers system.

Fernandes now coming out with the same sentiments as Amorim. If the club don’t want him he’ll leave. They’re both desperate to get out of there. 

 

That, or that's the question he was asked by the media who were trying to get little soundbites for people to talk about. 

 

Amorim and Fernandes were both asked about their future and about leaving the club, and their responses were perfectly fine.

Rumours their entire squad is up for sale. 😂 Ratface spitting the dummy, again. Bloody brilliant.

It’s a beautiful sight. I feel like a Visigoth walking through the smouldering ruins of Rome, bewildered as to how these useless cunts ever ruled the world. 
Radcliffe fiddles while Rome burns. 
the barbarians kicked the gates down and pissed on the pantheon years ago. They just didn’t realise they were already dead.

We're Newcastle fans. For the last 55 years or so Schadenfreude is all we've had.

Listening to the podcast though... sweet Jebus that Schadenfreude hits the spot.

[Checko]

Also, despite the Amorim headlines, the super miserable (ie. mancunian) guy on that podcast does say that Amorim spoke "fantastically well".

Fukin lovely post hope they crash and burn for decades

Bruno F would be a near-perfect KDB replacement for Man City. Him on 300 grand a week would be lower wages!

They could roll out another "Welcome to Manchester" poster like they did with Tevez.

Rodri back, Bruno F creating, and maybe a defender or two with better fitness than Stones and they'd be back to 85+ points.

 

That Bruno will be way out of our wages-for-age-profile league, but presumably Isak will end the summer as our new top earner. 

What we willing to pay will have to ratchet up too.

It’s your Athletic podcast.

 

As Checko has said as we’ve been absolutely shite for ages and when your own club brings you no joy it’s imperative you learn the art of the hate watch and associated schadenfreude from a young age. 

 

All these lads having an awful time and paying through the nose for it is chefs kiss stuff. As a wider point seeing proper Man U fans turn more and more against us and other formerly inconsequential teams as we’ve got better and as your boys flounder has been great stuff. That it is in part due to the toxicity of the fan base has been an added delight.

I was in the minority that wanted you to prevail last night but either way I couldn’t lose. Laaaavely as Glenn Hoddle would say.

[gazza ladra]

The Man Utd Internet meltdown has been glorious. 

 

I like how the most painful thing about it appears to be losing to Spurs.

 

Neither Liverpool or Man City seemed especially  bothered about the fact that they'd lost to teams that had gone longer without a trophy than Tottenham.

You know you've had it incredibly well when your lowest point supporting your team is losing a European cup final.

Casemiro has £18 million to pick up over the next year, Mount has £39 million over the next 3, how can they possibly get rid of these type of players

Have you got that in high res ? Looks like it might be juicy 

Amount of blokes that you could see on telly that were pissing about with their phones during the game was a disgrace, not even taking photos or vids, just scrolling 

 

I know the standard of football on display was woeful, but you’re watching your team in a cup final for fucksake, you can go for 90 mins without your fucking phone 

 

We’re a society of addicts

Ask and you shall receive. I think in this instance we should give the bloke a pass, he was clearly horny and just wanted to get his end away.

Great way to unsettle your whole playing staff. Well played.

The Portuguese league is a world away from premier league, 3 teams there who could win that league, the complexities of premier league, depth of opposition, tactical awareness of virtually all teams (promoted teams aside) are eons ahead of the Portuguese league, he's been found out as a 1 trick pony, be amazed if he makes it past Xmas 2025
