yeah and all you hear is that the players dont suit amorims system, well okay they dont so play them in a system that does suit them and then make changes accordingly, walking into a club and being excused for playing crap because you dont have the correct players to play how you want to play is insane.

Maybe Amorin is just fuckin useless, granted he had a good record at Sporting but how much of that was down to the club structure behind him, and the quality of the league, the bottom 3 in the PL would probably challenge in that league, I've never heard of half of them
The genius that Pep is, he says it himself it would be impossible without it.
Here's hoping we've got the best bit of Sporting in Viana.

Their next 2 matches are at Anfield and at the Emirates!

Rubs hands gleefully!!! Bring it on i say.

Thought Zirkzee would be made of sterner stuff given he was giving it the biggun just two weeks ago.

The way they celebrated on the pitch as we filed out you'd have thought they'd won a treble.

Must admit I was worried the confidence of that win concerned me but, then they played another game and lost & it was another blind corner.

not quite sure thats correct, if they flog Rashford for say 50m then that triggers a 250m spend, something to do with youth players being flogged on

Who is going to pay £50 and pay him what he is on at the Rags he would have to take a massive pay cut to make it happen and its doubtful he will be willing to do that
How does it trigger a £250M spend yes its pure profit to added to the books this year

Amorim has already stated that they won't spend in January hinting that its PSR issues

And there in lays the problem moving forward, the current squad baring a couple of players need binning off. They won’t have Champions league football next season which puts players off who could make a difference. Tv money from champions league won’t be there and there’s also talk of reductions in what they get from Addidas.

They have the excel spreadsheet out swimming against the tide which is PSR. They’ve made huge cuts to staff and other areas where they don’t want to spend anymore. When it comes to complying with that bottom line they won’t be able to improve the first team squad in the next few windows as they have to move players on. It’s a doom spiral that’s going to keep them mediocre for the foreseeable.

off the record, what better way for a club like united with there wage structure and failing squad would be to get relegated, clear out the deadwood 'nearly the whole squad' and start from scratch, its as if they may well want this tho happen

What a time to go down as 3 yank owned clubs get promoted and vote for a closed shop

Ratcliffe has clearly told Amorim he wants a team with identity and doesn't care about the results for a while. Otherwise Amorim wouldn't be saying what he's been saying.

They're learning who can and can't fit into his system. The idea is rip the plaster off and get to the answers quickly.

Unfortunately they've learned that they're ALL shite.

I agree but the arrogant cunts thought they could go through the process without being in a relegation dog fight.

Most of their purchases were given huge contracts. Selling them on will not be easy.

Mazraoui - or however it's spelt. WTF! Is he for real, this clown? I've just sneered at the highlights and he has all the speed and grace of a fucking hod carrier. The amount of times he was left for dead last night was absolutely criminal.
And if I noticed it by only watching the brief Sly highlights how the fuck didn't Amoron see it and make an immediate change - and he was the one who put him there in the first place.

I know many football fans think they are 'armchair professionals' (I don't - my brain cells quit years ago, they were tired of being neglected), but you don't need to be an expert to see just what a mess their defence is. Play like that against the Victims and they'll be on the receiving end of a double-figure score line.

I have a lot to do today but I am going to take the time out to watch the highlights again and again just to ensure that what I was watching really did happen.

I will correct you here hod carriers were well built blokes ,fast and strong as fuck. My ex hoddie was an ex rugby player.
Today's hoddies are just glorified bucket monkeys.
