Amorim has been so negative right from the start. Not exactly ‘doubters into believers’ stuff. Klopp was obviously limited in implementing his style when he arrived, until he could build his squad. But he made the most of what he had in the meantime and brought hope to those that were there, and the fans.

Aw, don’t say that.
Perhaps he’s actually an experimental AI?

I’ve heard good things about this lad, he was linked with Liverpool a few months back. Not a huge, expensive signing, so are they finally learning their lesson?
Here’s the revised song:
Ruben Amorim, took on the test
Manchester United’s squad, he said is the worst, he’s stressed!
Onana’s mistakes, in goal, a sorry sight
Antony’s liability, opposition’s delight!
De Ligt’s slow pace, leaves him in the dust
Maguire’s mistakes, midfield’s a mess, what a rust!
Their forwards are overrated, and pretty crap too
Can’t score a goal, to save their lives, it’s true!
Oh Ruben, Ruben, what have you done?
Taken on the Red Devils, now you’re having no fun!
Glory days are distant, solutions hard to find
Ruben’s pulling his hair out, all the time!
This was what the AI in WhatsApp wrote.

If he’s got any sense he won’t be going to Utd then.

Is Sahin in trouble?
Over the years as I have developed as a poet, I have realized that the excessive use of exclamations is simply an artifice to make up for substandard content. Hope that helps.

Oh I haven’t looked at the table in too long. Were they doing better earlier in the season? I somehow seem to remember something like that for some reason…
The beautiful thing about the Ashworth situation is that it came about from them adopting a messy structure with multiple people going outside their official remit with lots of overlap. That results in no clear accountability. A DoF might be inclined to give a struggling manager a bit more time because their hiring was unambiguously their call and sacking them is a reflection on their decision making. In this royal rumble like approach United have now with Berada, Wilcox, the bike fucker and Jim all sticking their oars in they could all be convincing themselves that Amorim’s appointment was someone else’s idea so by the time they sit around to discuss plans at the end of the season have all indepdently decided he isnt working.

Signing all the “lower cost” ones begins to accumulate though
I have asked this question multiple times and never got a response - what personnel problems do they have that are uniquely due to lack of fit to his system? Not only dont I see it but there are several players there who seem better suited to it.
To me the main personnel problems they have are in goal and up top, but those are the same problems that EtH struggled with in his far more familiar system. If they fixed those with even B quality signings they’d be 15 points better a season immediately. I think “the system” is a crutch

That’s what happens when you convince yourself your ex has changed and take her back.
BIG mistake. Huge.

Think Amorim wants to get sacked.
And as far as United is concerned, it’s cheaper for them to sack the manager than to do a firesale of the entire squad.

Even you couldn’t muster up the conviction to sound concerned with this.
All I read is one less team to compete with for Kerkez.

IDK. Amorim doesn’t come across as cynical as Mourinho. I think he might mean it.
If I were taking the job, I would have called all the prior managers including ETH to get their take on the state of the club. After those calls, he might realize how bad things really are.
I maintain that he will not be the manager at the end of next season. His players are not for that system, they have financial handcuffs, and he will not improve them fast enough for Ratcliff’s taste.
LVG explicitly warned ETH to not take the United job. I think the lure about United is still there for most managers.
