Is Mubbs out of the mourning period for Ten Hag? Where is he landing on the Amorim questions?

He’s only got 2 and a half years….

Klopp: “Want to turn doubters into believers”

Amorim: “We are going suffer for a long time”

That or he is talking about Garnacho’s socks.

The Amorim stuff yesterday was absolutely sickening. There was one point yesterday where Sky shrunk our coverage down to a box so they could go live to the Messiah getting off the coach at Portman Road.

It is so overblown. Coverage was similar here. League leaders on the march, so much to say… but nah, let’s give Amorim more coverage. I was annoyed but then on the other hand, I was satisfied with the three points and more than satisfied with our position, so let them talk about someone else if that’s their story.

Van Nistelrooy did well in his short stint and gets them, and the players played for him. Three wins and a creditable draw. I hope the twinges of regret are already there for the decision makers, and they are wondering what Ruud might have done.

Part of the job of a leader is to speak well. It is a balancing act, being realistic, while also aspiring to galvanize the organization to its maximum. Nobody expects Man Utd to be in a title race, but Amorim could have said something hopeful.

Instead, he says we are going to suffer for a long time.

Not exactly Churcillian!

Their fans are already more than a decade without the title. Ineos brought Amorim in to win big titles. Ok, shape the team, get the playing style going, coach them, and all the things you must do… but give them some hope!

Nah. We are going to suffer :joy:

Love to see it, mind.

What else is he supposed to say? The central issue at United over the past 10 years has been refusal to accept the reality of their situation. To rebuild a team that can compete, one with a coherent identity and different than what they are doing now, is going to have teething problems. But it is what they need to do to get back to where they want to be. It is better to accept that medicine than pretend it can be solved by just adding one more 100m player, and if you are going to take those steps you need the crowd to come with you. That means expectation management. He will need to teach the fanbase to focus on evidence of the process working rather than results. Remember all the breathless “is Klopp any better than Rodgers?” discussions because for the first 18 months the results weren’t any better than what Rodgers achieved? We only got through that because Klopp got us focusing on the things that if we kept doing them and gave him time to build would lead us to a team that could compete with the very best. We could deal with a shitty 2-1 loss to Palace because we knew we were still having to use players who wouldn’t be in Klopp’s plans long term and saw enough elements in the performance of what his team would look like once he’d cleaned house of those stop gap players. That is the path Amorim is going to have to take with the Utd fan base over the next season and a half.

Why didn’t he get the customary new manager bounce?
Probably Ruud-y robbed by van Nisterooy. :rofl:
