Saw that united fan who wont have a haircut until united win 5 games in a row. 3 more years of almorim. That blokes hair might be long enough to go round the world several times.

3 years he's got to prove himself and I still wouldn't bet against him getting sacked before he wins consecutive games. I'm sure his tactics are fine, United's stats seem to bear that out, but he clearly wasn't the personality they needed to fix that dressing room, he'd seemingly rather alienate players that represented something approaching an exciting future helped by their academy because they don't fit his "system" rather than tweak and adapt to make sure to find space for those players. At no point have they had a team that has any right finishing lower than 8th, more realistically 4th, if judging each player on their performances before joining (and in several cases now, after leaving) United.

It's bad enough being a Spurs fan and feeling we haven't invested sufficiently when we had the leverage to bring top talent in, then feeling the consequences of a drop in performances/standards and a club like Spurs who can't/won't pay mega wages having to "settle" for targets who aren't being actively looked at by bigger clubs when we drop out of CL for a couple of seasons. But United can have, and always could during any point in the last 15 years, literally any player in the world, and have spent enough to build an all-conquering team several times over, they are working with an obscene advantage and this is the sum of what they've achieved without literally the greatest manager of all time guiding them. United will be studied for decades in the post-Fergie period by football brains as one of the grossest cases of mismanagement in history.

Long may it continue
 
Just saw this 3 years thing….

My colleague - she’s been desperate to get rid of Amorim…the language that’s been coming out of her mouth!

I definitely will not take this opportunity to rub this in her face….honest.

:davieshmm:
 
Keeping Amorim is a crazy decision. His tactics are wank, he tries to play a midfield two of Bruno a 10 and a legless Casimero. United actually on paper have a decent side if they play 433 but he refuses.

It looks like they want to give their managers time which is fair enough but if it's not working then I don't understand why they'd want to keep him on.

Unless there's an agreement for Glasner or Iarola at the end of the season or something...

Tbh I think it might be a smokescreen by Radcliffe. Wants two more years out of almorim as if he sacks him now will have to pay 2 years compensation.

I'm wondering if it's a long game to devalue the club to make it cheaper for him to buy out more of the glazers

Either than or he's so wealthy he can afford to completely troll united for a personal jolly.

I know I'd love to have enough spare cash to buy one or two of our neighbours and plunge them into the dark ages
