I wish him well, sorry, i meant to say, i hope he fails miserably

 

[heslops barnet]

From being quite upbeat about him being Peps replacement to hoping he fails as miserably as the other second comings.

I’m sure we have a few irons in the fire……….

 

[TinFoilHat]

I am not concerned.

As I've said before they could have the greatest coach in the world there, but the club as a whole is cancerous. They need years of chemo to treat that first before they ever become a fair threat on the pitch.

That **** at West Ham?

 

[waspish]

They have a way of dragging theses things out for months to get all this publicity

 

[TinFoilHat]

I'm not watching SSN.

Have they found which bar Bryan Robson is in around Bangkok to have his comments?

 

[waspish]

Sooner or later like that 26 years span without winning the league they will by chance get the right man

As others have said, he wasn't the first choice - far from it, so that says a lot. The same with the players themselves, no household name wants to go there so they are reduced to paying way over the odds for lightweight journeymen and then having to fit them into a system the player may not be familiar with. On top of this they cannot offload any of the overly-expensive flops they have like Antony, Casemiro, Rashford, Slabhead and a few others because of the -quite frankly- fucking ridiculous wage packets their contracts demand.
When you think that many of their big names are on approx 300 grand per week, and you see the sort of effort they are putting in (yes, Rashford in particular does nothing, absolutely nothing to justify his bloated wage packet), it is of no surprise that the club is in big trouble: drinking in the last-chance saloon and crossing fingers that this Amorim chap can -at the very least- bring CL football to the rags.
It is a tall order for a manager to come in halfway through the season and get the team into the top four at the first time of asking, particularly a team so dysfunctional and flawed, a team so inadequate in all playing positions that they are currently struggling to get out of the relegation zone.

The media have created the illusion that all is well at the swamp, the changing room is as harmonious as it's ever been, and every player is the best in the position that he plays. And it's patently untrue.

Yet another great post and funny

The raggies are getting giddy…boom bust incoming..

Very odd, a 1.5 year contract till June 2026.

If Pep signs an extension for a year… till June 2026… lol

2027 isn’t it?

 

[bluethrunthru]

open top bus parade tomorrow opening match defeat on Sunday?

 

[Gray]

The bloke will probably have quadrupled his salary, never going to turn it down was he?

 

[johnevans]

Is Rashford obe still feeding the kids, it's gone very quiet since lockdown and his obe

Rashford's 'OBE' feeding the multitudes? 'One boiled egg'? Blimey Charlie, he's even more of a miracle worker than Jesus himself.. at least he had five loaves and two fishes!

But you make a good point. Fair play to Rashford for what he did/started at the time, as it needed saying/pointing out how that venal last lot in government had reduced budgets available for such huge social problems to be solved etc.

However, once the PR machine over at Red Filth Central got their mitts on the thing, it was non-stop promotion of 'St Marcus'. Since the award of a gong from Her Maj, it's all been quietly dropped.. as many of us on here predicted..

As I've often said, I despise that self-entitled lot across town and all their works.. always have, always will..

fire up the thread, this will end in tears

Are they back? Again?

The raggies are getting giddy…boom bust incoming..

Funny, most of them would never had heard of him until a couple of weeks ago.

Are they back? Again?

Sky Sports extended broadcast for the chaos games celebrating their latest resurrection.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

If you look at Amorin’s achievements, he’s won the league less times than Ten Hag did in Holland. Two leagues which are backwaters in European football, Ten Hag also reached a champions league semi final in that time. The raggies great new hope got bumped out of the Europa league in the quarters last season. This guy is coming from a lower starting point than what Ten Hag did before he went to the swamp.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Funny, most of them would never had heard of him until a couple of weeks ago.

And still won't know anything about him when he is sacked .

 

[VOOMER]

They signed him because we leaked that we were interested.
