Amorim isn’t going to deal with bullshit like Ole did.
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
It wasn't Liverpool.
No more manger...... we are modern now... ineos you trendy bastards, i love it.
Now the coach is plug and play. We dont fully place our destiny on one person anymore

It's not a mistranslation.
He clearly said there was a club willing to pay him 3x as much as Man Utd. He said it as proof that he did not say YES to Utd because of the salary bump, but because he wanted the Utd job and the Utd challenge.
He even went as far as saying that whatever money Utd was going to pay him above Sporting's current salary was irrelevant, because he can't even spend Sporting's salary anyway. And then he laughed.
Ruben Amorim was a Benfica player for a long time and was possibly earning upwards of 1M€/year. That would have been enough to set him up for life already. The salary he's getting as a coach is just icing on the cake.
Maybe that was the reason. Or the 3 CBs. Or something else.
But make no mistake: if Liverpool (or any other top club like Real, Barcelona, Man City, Man Utd) really went for him and was willing to get him a salary bump, he'd be there now instead of at Sporting.
Amorim is a top manager with high goals, which is why it made no sense to interview for West Ham last year (other than trying to force Liverpool's hand).
Never heard him this positive
To be fair, most of that squad isn't here anymore so he'll have a lot less to deal with but we still have leftovers from that time in the form of Maguire, Lindelof, Dalot, Shaw, Bruno and Rashford.
Lindelof most probably leaves in the summer if not in Jan and I don't doubt the professionalism of Maguire, Dalot or Bruno. It's Shaw and Rashford I'm a bit worried about.
Definitely Saudi. I would imagine behind the scenes they are offering lots of managers and players in their prime big money in their laughable effort to be seen as a serious league.
Rashford hasn’t performed consistently to be considered a superstar. So the club will not put up with him if Amorim has an issue.
He definitely is. Ten Hag isn’t too handsome.
Agreed. His attitude and mentality seem an ideal pairing with Amorim’s approach.
Ronaldo ‘decent’???
Yeah but Ruud is probably the most handsome manager around (I know he’s only interim). Imagine if he keeps Ruud and we have those two sexy, charismatic bastards on the touchline.
I hope Amorim can have a strong effect on all our Portuguese speakers. Dalot, Bruno, Casemiro, heck even Antony. They could all use a boost and be important for us moving forward.
He was alright I suppose, but he’s no Antony Le Tallec.
Not to be a doom monger, but are we sure he wouldn’t feck us off for City if he does well?Pep looks gutted that Amorim's not his successor.

Well worth a listen from guys who follow Portuguese football in depth.

I honestly think he will have them running through walls for him.
He loves Sporting and wants to be respectful I think we’ll hear him talk more about United when he officially starts
We made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
No my cock is out multiple times a day.
I listened in portuguese and I've already told that he was mistranslated.
Very true. What a twosome that would be
Very good players can make a manager look better than they are and bad players can make them look worse. We have to get this striker.
I
ok. My apologies!
Seem like only reason ETH stayed longer because he wanted more time with sporting.
He hasn't yes, but it remains to be seen how much influence he has on the dressing room and how much backing Amorim will get from both the dressing room and the leadership team if things go awry between them.
I read he pushed aside established players who didn’t agree with him and promoted kids from the academy. Hope he follows that here. He will be supported. No player is bigger than the club is more evident now than ever.
Yeah weak bladder it comes to us all
In his presser he was asked about sporting players reactions, he said something along the lines of they know if they give me shit they won't be playing
Especially when you break the beer sealEle diz "a muita gente a dizer que e pelo dinheiro, eu ganhava trez vezes mais no ultimo clube que quis pagar a minha clausula".
He's clearly saying he'd be earning 3x as much at the last club that wanted to pay his clause. there's no mistranslation. He's saying that in the context of choosing United. It's nothing to do with money, because the last club that wanted to pay his exit clause was willing to pay 3x more
THis would make more sense.
Brilliant to see us say now or never. No messing about.
Really happy how he reiterated that United was the opportunity that he couldn’t let go. Good work by the management team to flex a little muscle. Overall, Sporting have been given consideration too so seems like a win-win outcome has been witnessed.
Why would anyone abruptly go to City if they are doing well at one of the biggest clubs in the world?
This is where INEOS would have to show the players that they will not get away with the bullshit that they pulled under previous managers.
It could be 3x more (also), thus similar to United's.
This x 100
He says "I'm taking a risk, I couldn't wait til the end of the season and not have the only club I want - the only club that has moved me - and I've had other suitors and the chairman knows this - I made my choice and I'll take the brunt of it (criticism) - but now I can go home relieved because I've explained it. It was a choice, obviously there's a lot of people saying it's for the money, I'd be earning 3 times more at the last club that tried to pay my exit clause, so they can say whatever they want to say"
contextually, seems pretty clear to me he's saying the last club would be paying more (than United). he even prefaces it by saying it's a big risk
