Managing United will be one way to get himself a heart attack.
I think the better managers for United would be the guy whoâve got the worse results. Atleast among the last 4 hires.
For example
Ole < ETH < Rangnick< Amorim.
Maybe would rate Rangnick ahead of Amorim.
The great thing is that theyâve spent a billion pounds on players, the stadium is falling apart and theyâve no PSR wriggle room to do another squad overhaul.
So they appoint a âsystemâ manager who everyone could see would need to rebuild the squad to even stand a chance of his system being effective.
Itâs really impressive stuff.

My first thought when I saw him on the telly yesterday was âyou fat bastardâ.
Yes, but the question was comparing each managerâs first 16 league games.

Maybe closing the canteen will get them a new wing back?

I guess I just wanted to make the point that even with Hodgson getting worse before he got fired, he still performed better than AmorimâŚ

But he had far better players - Utd donât have anyone comparable to Gerrard and Torres, and even a declining Reina was far superior to Onana.
Torres was shite at that point. Couldnât hit the side of a bus, which is why he was sold off to Chelsea.
Trying to get the
âYou guys are so screwed nowâ gif in that Avengers movie.
He had 9 league goals by the time he left in January, which is actually pretty remarkable given how poorly he was being used. Torres was definitely not the problem

Closest I could find.
Not a chance.
Yes we had some top players (albeit Torres was already a shadow of himself by then), but in football you track far closer to your average or even worst player on your team than you do your best. People for some reason continue to treat Utdâs players like a collection of championship players getting an unexpected opportunity when what they are are players with collectively a ton of CL and international experience, with very few players not fitting that description. Look at our team that year. Ngog got 30 appearance because even when Torres was still here he was needed. Poulson, Konchesky, Jovanovic, Wee Jay, a half dead Joe Cole, that Greek lad at the back. Raw inexperienced versions of Kelly and Shelvey. Personnel wise we were shit, quite possibly the shittest weâve ever been in my lifetime.
The turn around in the second half of the season was impressive and driven a lot by Kenny, both in terms of him simply being better than Roy and by just lifting the atmosphere around the club. But it was also driven by being given Suarez (and Carrol).

He wasnât shit yet. But the signs of his downfall were there.

A mignolet is better than Onana.
At least not his finishing.
His fitness and ability to remain on the pitch is what edged us to allowing him to leave.
Fully agree with this. Milner was one of the best transfers in recent history, very much one helping the club to change its overall mentality.
