Appointing Amorim' with a "now or never" demand is just typical of the rags and their hugely inflated opinion of themselves.
Didn't stop to think of the issues of appointing someone mid season. New style of play, new player requirements, and the base fact that none of it addresses the underlying problems at that club.
They need to accept the fall. Should have come to terms with writing this season off and concentrated on clearing out the dross and getting their house in order, so that any incoming manager has an easier integration come summer.
But raggy impatience won't allow for that. They're Manshesh Nited, don't you know? They deserve respect, trophies, points. The trail of rubbish they leave in their wake no matter how many corners they turn, is best ignored rather than confronted.
But I will give them some credit for something wonderful and selfless they have done Thank you Manchester United for making football over the Christmas period palatable.

It makes you think Ashworth was telling them it makes no sense but they went ahead with it anyway. They’ve spent all that money on building a structure to stop the suits playing football manager & then they carried on anyway.

The arrogance, the hubris, call it what you will: but it's certainly caught up with them.
Around here everybody is so pleased about their fall from grace it gets mentioned to me all the time. If I nip out to post a letter I have neighbours saying: "Great, isn't it? They lost again." And those that know me well say: "City'll come good again. Form is temporary and all that. But your enemies are falling deeper and deeper into the mire - fantastic!"
So whether it's arrogance or not, their downfall is being met with almost unanimous approval around these parts - let's hope it spreads throughout the rest of country too.

The rags in the pub last night didn’t like me highlighting that the gap in points to City is increasing since they have hired their new manager. This during a period where our team is having a complete meltdown.
There has been no new manager bounce, Wolves have sacked someone and the new guy comes in and gets back to back wins. Why hasn’t Amorim achieved that? There has been no change in how they play and things seem to be getting worse. They do need to give him time as he has the unenviable task of clearing out Ten Hag’s mistakes. How do they expect to shift Rashford on his silly wages but also he isn’t playing so won’t be attractive to other teams wanting to take a punt.
We’ve seen with what happened with Dan Ashworth is that they don’t have any patience with someone telling them what they don’t want to hear. How long will it be before they start getting itchy trigger fingers?
Like others have said it’s the silver lining on the
down turn in form we are experiencing.

If he'd have anything about him, Amorim would of stood his ground and told them that he would join at the end of this season.
Yes the money would of been a lure but this guy seemed desperate to get into the Premier league ( the west ham debacle) so gets everything he deserves in my opinion.
Must think he's a better manager than he actually is.
But haven't they all at the swamp since the pisscan?

West Ham turned him down 'cos he seemingly hadn't managed a big club. Wherever he ends up next you could say the same thing,.
