Ineos and ‘incremental gains’ was the story…

A shame, but the right decision to terminate his contract…
“Hey, Ruud! Why the long face?”

Keeping him around would have been a bit silly. Also allows them to look like making a clean sweep when they need a caretaker manager in the future.
As for that post. Does he watch any other football?
Leaves with a good record as interim, now we just need to see Amorim struggle out of the gate.

Hey Ruud, don’t make it bad.
Drop your long face to make it better. 
Huh??
I was eating late lunch and on reading this utter nonsense, my stomach churned and I nearly spew a mouthful.
Coentrao said: “Sporting have lost a very important figure, but I am thrilled for Ruben. Manchester United have gained the best coach in the world… by far.”
Then coming upon the last 2 words, my head spinned. Who is this Fabio Coentrao nonentity? Just a random journeyman player in a lesser league.
How did winning 2 titles in a middling league qualify one as best in the world? Worse than the hordes of mis-informed, un-informed and ill-informed media idiots. I wrote a book on a minor subject that could only interest a few souls and some nobody can claim I’m the best author in the world.

He’s a good coach. The United job will prove too much for him though.
Coentrao and Amorim were team-mates at Benfica and presumably internationally as well (their intl caps cover the same time period), so I doubt it’s anything more than bigging up a mate, and his comments shouldn’t be taken as an objective analysis.

In industry when recruiting top management, it was easy enough to find top notch candidates. Academically, and practically, they could do the job standing on their head. That is however, until they are placed in a demanding work environment, that operates at 200mph.
The step-up from a ‘come-day-go-day-every-day-is-Sunday’, working environment of manjana, to one where things come at you thick and fast, without respite, was normally too great of a leap.
When Amorin takes the hot seat at Old Toilet, trying to balance the pressures of the role, and demands for instant success… will probably see the guy off…
Four seasons down the line, chances are they will be back to square one before his arrival -
Yeah, should be taken as an “alternative fact”.
Amorim is good, but he’s no Van Nistelrooy.
Here’s hoping that narrative takes hold when they have a few wobbles under their new man.

Credit where it’s due. At least none of the ManU players have ducked out of England duty after being called up …

Well he would have freedom to roam around Greater Manchester as he serves his doping ban. I’m sure he would go down a storm in the Trafford Centre.
