Goldbridge - āHe should walk but I donāt want him sackedā
So that United can save on the pay off fee?
He doesnāt want him to go but thinks based on his post-match comments thereās a chance heāll walk.

He has to choose between saving his sanity/dignity and reaping an undeserved windfall.
Such a tough choice. Iām sure the millions heāll get will be worth whatever indignity heās got to suffer through.
is a big consolation but considering his current miserable mental state, is it worth risking the loss of his marbles for a few further months, weeks or even days of abject desolation?

I was tempted to say the reputational damage will be the last straw, but actually the damage there has probably already been done. Can anyone see another club hiring him after overseeing the worst United side in history?

I do think heāll get a chance again. Maybe for a club in Europe playing the Europa. ETH got the Bayer Leverkusen job.
He was the wrong manager for the wrong team at the wrong time. Only a small part of that is his fault. Bringing him in mid-season rather than with better planning was the biggest mistake. It also felt like he was forced to make the move at that time, or he wasnāt going to get the job. Iād say heās due something for the stress of it all.

The alternative take is he realizes his level and uses this experience to calibrate his career expectations and has a much happier life moving forward doing things that heās capable of actually doing.
Utd is a toxic club that makes good players worse, but this guy was never the guy. It was honestly apparent after 10 games or so and there was conversation in this thread saying that very thing. And not just for the banter. All the mocking of Utdās players for being shitā¦they are āshitā compared to the level Utd fans still expect, but that level of shit should put them somewhere around having an anemic and failed challenge for the last CL spot, not an outside shot at relegation. The guy is a fraud and he needs to reconsider what his station in the game is.

BBC Livetext is completely out of order today, how dare they sully the name of the mighty Neil Warnock by comparing him to Amorim 
Amorimās Premier League record equals Warnock
The Portuguese has won just seven of his 29 matches in charge, drawing seven and losing 15, and his Premier League win percentage of 24.1% is equal to that of Neil Warnock.
Warnock predominantly managed clubs that were battling relegation and the 76-year old won 27 of his 112 top-flight matches in charge of Sheffield United, Queens Park Rangers, Crystal Palace and Cardiff City.

So United after whiskeynose have gone from
- Fergyāa handpicked replacement failing
- The tried and tested Dutch coach with experience of managing Barca failing
- The special one (toxic one) failing
- The club legend failing
- The highly rated gegenpress practitioner failing
- The new era Dutch coach failing
- The new fad coach with some new fangled ideas failing.
The only thing thatās left off that particular check list is to appoint an English coach. Someone like Dyche , Pardew , Allardyce or Southgate.
Finish that and they can then go back to step 1 again.

Bring in Wayne Rooney as caretaker manager until the relegation is mathematically certain

Prevailing rumors today seem to be that Amorim will walk after the Burnley match, and Glasner is the favorite to replace him.
Glasner is a sound pragmatic coach. But itās not like Palace really need to let him go.
