The Sack Race 25/26

Amorim has to be right up there at this point?

Surely, if they can afford to get rid. Maybe it is just his thing but not watching the penalty shootout is a bad look in my opinion.

Their egos will at least delay the inevitable sacking. It's clear he's way out of his depth, but they have bigged him up as the Pep-slayer whilst remaining oblivious to the reality that Pep is no longer the all-conquering giant of lore. They'll fall back on Fergie's four years of misery and Mark Robins to justify the unjustifiable and they'll take self-serving solace in "patience" showing them to be real fans rather than "entitled".

It's all cope. He should be booted out tonight - but then, so should the people who hired him, and Sir Jim doesn't do accountability.

The amount of money that they backed him with for players in this window, they’ll look like morons if they sacked him now.

It’ll be another couples of months before they sack him, I think.

To be fair, they'll look like morons keeping him on. Because he's sinking without trace.

Their problem is accountability. Who hired him? That's a very awkward question with a very simple answer...so they have to keep him on for self-preservation reasons...

Amorim will be shorter than 12/1 at this very moment.

Correct - currently 4/1

“The players spoke really loud”



Is he saying they have downed tools and he’ll resign?

He sounds like he`s pretty much given up tbh.

He sounds like he`s pretty much given up tbh.

He looks emotionally drained, and he alluded to how the continued and microscopic focus that the club receives on a daily basis.

Amorim has to shoulder much of the responsibility because of his rigidity to a formation that quite clearly hasn’t worked, and still isn’t working.

But what about all the previous managers who were to blame too? He alluded to the players and what they wanted, and I think we all know they’re a rotten bunch.

Those players and that formation should be enough to outdo Grimsby if they really wanted victory, however I don’t think they truly do have that will.

I strangely felt sorry for Amorim in that interview - United is a poisoned chalice.

He`ll be relieved when he gets the boot, nice pay off and it`s widely known that Man U are in such a mess, getting the boot won`t really do his career prospects any harm either.

The massive problem they have now ( yet again ) is that they have all those very expensive players, on mega money, bought by a Amorim to suit the system he wanted to play and the new manager will have to pretty much start from scratch.

Get where you are coming from, but he’s not helped himself by being welded to that tactic even when clearly he doesn’t have the personnel to deliver it.

I even think the players have had enough of him and it now, they all, including Amorim, look disinterested.

He’s been there too long for it not to be working now, they can’t be arsed with him.

Also, seeing him moving the little magnets around on his little pitch trying to find something that would work whilst looking totally broken was pathetic.

The definition of a dead man walking.

Martin up at Rangers. I know it's a terrible league but they're still a bit of name in world football. They'll have had plenty of applicants in the summer, and chances are at least one of those was half-decent. How anyone employs him after watching Saints last season is beyond me.

Not sure they can keep him on much longer after that embarrassing result.

And for him to just say "Well we won't lose 6 nil again" is just weird. He's so weird. And bad.

 

[Nymzee]

I've never had so many options for first manager sacked in a season I don't think. So many crap managers at the minute.

 

[Rita_Poon]

It's a strange situation.

He chose to broadcast that they could have torn his contract up last season and he'd have walked away with no pay off.

I can't remember such a happening previous.

Closest I can is Dyche about 5 months prior letting it out that he'd done all he can and his players weren't responding to him and that maybe time was up. He still very much wanted his* cash.

What's even more mad about man utd is how they've spent a load of money and still aren't right or even pointing in the right direction. So things get worse, they bin another manager, and then a new guy comes in whilst they're still trying to deal with moving players on from 4 regimes earlier, let alone 3 and 2 regimes as well as. But the players are on massive money so can dig in.

They'd be a bin fire, if the bin was made of as well as full of money. And the more their junior part owner briefs his concerns the more of a big-top shambles they look and sound. (Personally preferred it when the biggest clown show in town was, well, in town over the road. They've sharpened up sadly).

United are just in an awful position , they’ve backed him but his record is abysmal. Getting rid now leaves you with a squad build for a system nobody plays but keeping him likely continues the descent.

The fans amuse me Amorim as they seem to be in that Nunez RS position where they’ve argued so hard he’s good they can’t dig themselves out of the hole .
