Poor guy is talking out of sync, he doesnât know what time of day it isâŚwe donât realise the damaging psychological effects being a Utd manager holds, this poor soul lost his job and dignity tonightâŚI hope he gets the help he needs. In Amorim I trust.

To be fair heâs clarified itâs 5 games in any competition though he wasnât classing penalties anyhow l, so itâs like a double blow.
Then again itâs pretty much league games now anyhow.

I took it as meaning that the United team essentially canât or donât want to play for him. I canât see him lasting much longer at all. He has no confidence that the team can do what he is asking of them. Those comments indicate a complete breakdown of the relationship between manager and team.

That is a remarkable interview coming after just 2 league games. That is peak mid third season Jose stuff daring the club to fire him

Speaking of Jose hereâs a quote from him from some years back
âAnd then you also have those coaches who try to do things that just donât work, and because of that they die, but they say 'I died but I died by my ideas. My friend, if you died by your ideas you are stupid.â

Felt to me more like heâs giving up and prepared to walk away at this point. When he kept saying âThe players spoke loudly, they showed tonight what they wantâ, I took it to mean that he believes the players donât want him anymore.
We as Liverpool fans went through a lot in the years from 91 through 2016, but by far the lowest ebb was the Roy Hodgson era, which thankfully only lasted six months. Iâm not sure if we can definitively say that he lost the players or the dressing room, or that players downed tools. I think with him he was just out of his depth and wrong for the club. My point is that we NEVER had to deal with the level of toxicity that United have been dealing with since Fergie left, players, managers, front-office brass, etc. Just a shitty nest of self-absorbed hapless cunts, stabbing each other in the back at every turn. We had lows, to be sure, and the Souness era will never be looked back upon with fondness, but despite all of that, we never lost our identity as a club, and we never fostered the kind of radioactive environment that has been allowed to fester at the Old Toilet. Reminder - since being promoted with Shankly in 62, we have never finished outside of the top 8 in English football. Theyâll never sing that.

When Amorim said âwe can beat any team in the leagueâ was he talking about the National league?

DT still lives! 
Heâs making the distinction between âteamâ, i.e. Grimsby, and group of players, i.e. his group of players. In his mind, the group of players sent a message which was âwe donât want to, or canât, play your way. Weâre done with you, Boss.â

I hope they donât bring Jose back as he would actually make a team out of Amorimâs group of players.
Itâs grim in Grimsby, I hear

While Hodgson absolutely drove me up the wall, and the following is not intended as a defence of him, it is critical to understand what a dire state the club as a whole was in when he was manager. The team may not have believed in him, but as a unit they did not not down tools - some headed for the exits (painful, but understandable), but the team kept playing. They just were not very good, mostly because they were what we could afford.
Consider the match that I would compare to this Grimsby match, as our nadir - Northampton, also League 2, also on penalty shootout. The side that lost was made up of the ashes of Rafaâs teams (Agger, Lucas), bench players for Rafa that never quite made the step up (Babel, Ngog, Jones), players picked up cheap for potential (Kelly, Wilson, Pacheco), players picked up cheap because they were cheap (Kyrgiakos, Jovanovic), and a player who was free but would die for the club (Spearing). It was an odd grab-bag of what could be spared for a midweek fixture, and it wasnât great, a genuine reflection of the very difficult times the club faced.
By contrast, by the time ManU had lost that fixture, they had burned out the hope of all of their transfers this summer. The team they put on the field gets paid more than their opponents total transfer value, more in two weeks than Grimsby is worth as a club.
