Amorim should stay at least for this season to experiment. We are not going to get any international placements anyway. A new coach won't magically change this trajectory.
If Amorim somehow finds a way to make this squad work in the next couple months and go on a run, we could have a conversation about not sacking him. Otherwise he should be sacked after this season
Plus, as many have said the squad is dogshit. I don't think many coaches could make a squad like this work besides defensive coaches like Southgate. But I also don't want to live in a world where ManU plays this type of ball

Sounds like a great idea to sack the guy you acknowledge you brought in too early, without any players that suit the system you brought him in for
It's like buying a Blu-Ray player and selling it because all of your existing VHS tapes don't play on it

I agree with you. The question is if Amorim will get the funds in summer to build the squad in the direction he wants to. I doubt it because they will probably not give him full reign and trust him at that point if the performance stays the same throughout the season as it is now.
The question is give him a couple more years with the possibility to end up in an ETH situation with nothing to show for after years or hire a new coach (who will most likely fail with this squad again)? Either way its not looking good
For me itâs like this: I just fail to see how if we finish 16th; fail to win Europa; fail to win the FA cup; there is any chance of succession here long term for this manager.
Our budget is already slashed - and will be hampered more by lack of European football. Amorim has already proven he cannot improve the players he already has at his disposal. We will most likely sign â at MAX â around 3-4 first team players.
What are we expecting here? Is he going to go from 16th one season to back to competing the next?
The only piece of momentum that can salvage something is a fugazi cup win. Otherwise I really donât understand what weâre doing here.
And donât get me wrong I do like Amorim and think he seems like a nice chap with a good philosophy about the game, but itâs a results business, dawg. Canât have Man Utd hold 17+ losses in one season and call it a day and say we go again.
Nottingham forest finished 17th last year like 6 points above relegation. Not expecting him to challenge next year but if we buy smartly (big if, admittedly) we could absolutely lay a foundation for long term success.

Fair point. We could, or we could go into next season with further solidified mediocrity.
I donât know, maybe Iâm being too negative. I want to be positive about Amorim. I kind of like the guy (unlike ten Hag), I just canât see anything in the fundamentals of what a coach should do in actually coaching whatâs already at the club. Only player who has improved is Amad, and thatâs more just because heâs the greatest player of all time and ten Hag didnât play him for some reason.
I know, the majority of our players are the worst ever humans to grace this earth and Dalot should be tried for crimes against humanity etc. but I canât just look at us lose double the amount of games we win the PL under this manager and see an end result where things turn peachy
Just too jaded I think
i'm just smile and waving like the penguins from madagascar at this point
we say its on the players every time, we invest in some new players who at the time we are hyped for then they s*** the bed for us go elsewhere and shine apart from sancho he's just dog water
we bring these managers in because of their 'philosophy' 'style of play' and NEVER see it the only manager who had us playing in a system other than counter attacking was LVG but that was zzzzz
and now Ineos looking like glazers 2.0 cutting costs hiring and sacking directors making stupid decisions
s*** looks so bleak i cba anymore
If weâre being real we probably see us back to old levels until weâre all in our 40s
All logging on to the KTT46 meet up when we win our next PL title all married and s*** (apart from Oblivion who has a different random 20 year old Korean woman as his avatar)

And maybe Iâm being too much of an optimist
Fully agree he should be coaching the players that are here though some of these lot might really be unsalvageable.

Thing is, without Amad thereâs no way in hell we fluke the europa league.

âIt was very tense at times. Sometimes he made an effort to listen to the playersâ feedback. Sometimes he made decisions without listening to the playersâ feelings. So there were ups and downs. It was complicated at times.â
âWe had a robust discussion. We told each other some truths but then I didnât play for almost two months. I said I didnât agree with certain ways of doing things regarding the relationship between him and the team. It wasnât something that I thought was good for the team because some of the players were not at all satisfied. It was not good in terms of the relationship with the coach. He said âOK, I hear what you saidâ and after that I didnât play."
"He wanted to gain respect through fear, perhaps. He always needed an example of a player who was alone the entire time he was at Manchester. He did that with at least one important player on the team. He was always in conflict with certain leaders of the group. That is his way of managing.â
If youâre looking for blame itâs bigger than INEOS or Amorim
I canât believe theyâre still allowed to get away with it. Itâs literally not possible to do what they did again
Pretty sure they break PL laws, you name it
Jesus. Glazers bought you with borrowed money, put the debt in the club and sat on it for decades to where youâre worse than broke. Iâm a s***poster but I legitimately feel bad for your fans. going to games every week to support the club they love not knowing it was secretly imploding from the inside.
I donât know if it will do anything but this is the kinda thing you protest for. Like a serious protest.

wouldnât pass the fit and proper test these days, also illegal to do in sport in America

Not only that, but they continued to take well over 1 billion in dividends while increasing our debt via high interest loans for transfers.
All for the privilege of being owned by Americans who live thousands of miles away, rarely attend matches and communicated with the fans for the first time after a failed attempt to join the European Super League
Over a billion in debt we did it!!!!!!
over a billion in interest payments alone

So it wasnât just the media and fans he antagonized
Really hope this protest on the 9th is decent
The last one
Asking for pep to be sacked after one bad season is ludicrous and really says it all about modern day fans
