Given Maresca’s comments about “worst 48 hours” I don’t think he’d be too upset to leave either.

All this (frequent firing of managers) has been saying is it's cheaper/easier than admitting your players aren't up to the level you pay, or paid, to get them. These guys are paid to be fall guy's more than being a coach anymore. method of working from the paymaster/s TBH.

I assume Maresca thinks they will sack him in the summer, pretty much regardless of results. So why not go earlier, have a rest and scope out his future manager positions (especially if the rumours about him being a candidate to replace Pep are true).

Is Henry suggesting Amorim as a replacement for Farke?

 

[LinekersLegs]

Will be at least February 2026 before he can!

Possible cure for Evertonian baldness, this.

Think I'd just give in & have it cut if I was him, he looks daft.

People realise what they're doing, people also realise they've spent insane amounts on crap players in the past and have a CM who isn't a CM as a starter because Amorim is stubborn in his way and can't find a second way to play. That same way worked in Portugal because it's Portugal, but Grimsby probably have a bit to say about how great it worked, or several other of the failures.

Of course if you spend hilariously huge sums on the best players from opposing teams you'll get called up on it though, what do you expect, that everyone ignores it because Amorim is some savant? He'll be sacked in a year or so anyway when they fail to reach the CL again and the next flavour of the month will be brought in, most likely. They got Cunha and Mbuemo for more than we've spent in the last 4-5 years combined, alone - if those 2 can't get them a point or two between them then Amorim should rightly be sacked.

Amorim has made steady improvement on a team that needs steady improvement. United’s biggest problem is thinking they’re always a year away from fixing it. Honestly sacking him is the worst thing they can do right now. This is the first time since Ferguson left that the manager seems to understand that what they need to is get better first. The winning comes later.

It is not dissimilar to where Everton have been for going on a decade now (or 4 decades if we want to be harsh).

^^ like Dyche, he doesn't help himself in front of the camera/on mic.

Wow !!!!
Not a happy man..

Crazy season..

I don’t get these managers. They know what they signed up for on their massive contracts. Then they throw the toys out of the pram but probably still expect a big payoff if sacked

Tbh I’m not sure it is always clear exactly what they have singed up for.

Perhaps with Chelsea, although if the reports are true they were dictating which players played and for how many minutes that would seem a crazy way to expect to manage.

But less so with Man Utd.
