Top tip never hire a manager who's surname sounds like 'ammering

 

[PercyPlant]

You’ve lost your own train of thought here haven’t you.

Dyche is an appalling manager.

He did a better job than some of our other appalling managers. The notion that Martinez with the likes of Coleman, Baines, stones, Jagielka, Barkley, Barry , pienaar, osman and Lukaku did a better job getting 47 points when he would’ve hit 48 points with his squad (had it not been for deductions) is nonsense to me, add to that he took over a side in 6th and left them in 13th if Martinez had taken over when Dyche did then I guarantee you all the “best ground in the championship” trolls would’ve been right.

Someone needs to put Amorim out of his misery, clearly he is out of his depth at Utd.

If they do, who do they pivot to next?

Will they go with a big name or someone who ‘gets the club’.

 

[Summer76]

United are so finished and have been for a while now. You’d think their overseas fans are glory hunters and would have moved on to some other club by now.
Given what they pay for wages, player fees, how are they not in financial meltdown.

They sack the tea ladies

Where do you think Dyche would’ve finished with Martinez’s squad? I would wager lower than 11th. He’s finished in the top half once in his entire life.

We were 3 points off 14th when Dyche took over.

Mate, he's a longstanding Dychette...

Semantics. Fact is, Martinez went from 6th to 13th, you say we were 14th when Dyche took over, you won’t be able to deduct the same amount of places off and keep us in the league had he done an equivalent job to Martinez.

Are you advocating for his execution, or am I misreading your comment?

….sitting in the bar enjoying the Kos sunshine, a little surprised Burnley are still 0-0 getting to the latter stages. We know the script, Mrs Eggs and I predicted the outcome.

First, Burnley player sent off. Into extended injury time, still 0-0, so it’s a penalty awarded.

Like one of those classic movies where it’s inevitable. PL corrupt, no doubt.

 

[Simon Buttle]

haha, not quite, execution from the Utd job but thats about it. He is massively out of his depth there, although it seems they are going to let it play out. I'm really surprised he hasn't been told too change things a bit from Wilcox or one of the other higher ups.

Not sure tbh, I think they will stick it out for the moment due to the financial cost of sacking/hiring another manager.

There have been a few managers they should have stuck with in recent history, this fella ain’t one of them

He`s a funny sort is Amorim. When things are going well he looks well in control, but as soon as they go behind his demeanor totally changes and he looks like he has no clue what to do. When they do get back into games its more down to pure luck than anything the manager changes.

Possibly the stupidest elbow throw since ben thatcher.
