Yeah that's a great reason, let's start listening to a senile billionaire who has never ever been closer to football than the stands.
Buy him out then then you can have a say

I hope so. But we simply cannot buy a whole new team, so he cannot have an endless excuse that the forum has got behind that we needs to sell 15 and buy 15 this summer, he has to get results from this group this season.We're playing a new system with players that could hardly perform in ETH's system.They can't run(fast),can't score(did you watch the Bournemouth game!!),can't defend(Bornemouth again!!).
Yet Amorim has us controlling every game(yes we matched Arsenal until we imploded at set pieces and were far better than the credit we weren't given at City) .Our star player has shown his true self, no fecking application and has decided to wimp out and find another club.
He walked into a disaster.Has decided to play the way he knows will succeed with a lot of players that he knows cant do what he wants.
He is so much better than ETH, it will just take time
If this guy can't fix us nobody can. He is the first manager since SAF I feel absolutely confident about giving as long as it takes to get it right. Previous record, age profile, footballing philosophy, personality; he is the complete package.
The people who are meant to be controlling it. Keeping it clean etc.Sack the mice?
Ten Hag is a good manager. Rubens spell in charge has proved this. The issues at united are institutional. The rot is so bad the whole place is a mess.
Sir Jim needs to find the money to make changes quickly. We basically need 6 or 7 new first teamers to make a difference.
Don't think it'd do us any favours to lie about him when any interested clubs will have scouts analysing videos of his performancesWhat is the point of picking a fight with Rashford and his friends? If you don't want him, sell him next week. Till then, praise him, that he is talented, a hard worker, great player, and so on, ... just to make it easier to sell him.
It seems to me that Amorim is self-defeating here. He is just making it harder to sell Rashford. Do we have here a repeat of Ten Hag mistakes?

You don't need to lie. You also do not need to depreciate your assets, it is a naive, self defeating behavior.

Amorim questions 'choices' of Rashford's advisors
It feels more like Amorim is again trying to protect him and offer an olive branch. First time he said that he’d responded well to being dropped, now he’s putting it down to his advisors.
Yeah he’s a red tinted glasses type of guyI don't think I've ever completely disagreed with someone so often as I have with Howson. Wasn't he vehemently defending ETH right until the very end as well?
I don't think you are getting what others are saying to you to be honest.I don't think so. Telling the press that Rashford is listening to the wrong advisors, is again directly blaming Rashford, it is like saying that Rashford is not smart enough to pick the right advisors.
Amorim should have said nothing. Absolutely nothing. You don't like Rashford, that's fine, just sell him and get over with it. There is no point discussing this issue with the press, especially if you are going to say something negative about the player or his friends and his advisors.
Which is exactly what he did. Didn't say a single bad word about him. Not sure how he could have handled this any better.
"Endless excuses"I hope so. But we simply cannot buy a whole new team, so he cannot have an endless excuse that the forum has got behind that we needs to sell 15 and buy 15 this summer, he has to get results from this group this season.
Oh come on he's protecting an asset and possibly leaving a return path open by saying this.No, it is not the same. The title says Amorim questions 'choices' of Rashford's advisors
And what Amorim said is:
"I understand these players have a lot of people around them, making choices that are not the first idea from the player.
"They chose to do the interview as it is not just Marcus."
This implies that Rashford is not smart enough to make his own choices! This is really degrading for the player.
This is getting painful...No, it is not the same. The title says Amorim questions 'choices' of Rashford's advisors

I very much doubt Rashford would take it that way.
Sorry I don't agree with you at all. Amorim is handling it as well as anyone could.Amorim simply should say nothing negative about Rashford, or his family, or his friends, or his advisors, or his manager, ... simply saying nothing negative about anyone.
How hard is this? Just wait a week, sell the player, and it's over.
Amorim gets nothing saying something negative about "advisors", and about Rashford "following the advisors". It is a lose-lose situation for Amorim. He gains nothing. I don't understand why he wanted to do this. He should talk to the teams PR people before saying anything like that in the future.

Howson is in idiot though. Like everyone else with social media followers he will change his mind depending on which way the wind blows.
Can’t understand how the likes get so many hanging on their every words
What an embarrassment. Sack them all.
Jesus talk about nitpicking at anything at all to beat Amorim with, some of ye really are unbelievableAmorim simply should say nothing negative about Rashford, or his family, or his friends, or his advisors, or his manager, ... simply saying nothing negative about anyone.

Did they block the bog with mice?There could be a rapist living under a stand at any other ground in the UK and it wouldn't make the news. Somebody blocks a bog at OT and it's trending on twitter.
Blocked it with Brunos corners.Did they block the bog with mice?
There IS of course a choice. You have evolution rather than evolution. And if Prem games are now training matches, freeze ticket prices to where they were including the cheaper children's briefs and stop cheating the fans and the kids.He doesn’t really have a choice, he’s come here mid-season and has to assess the entire squad over the course of remaining games in order to have them better prepared for next season with system at least partly implemented. Everyone should understand that results are not going to be that important this year.
A fifth place finish seems like some drunk's fantasy. Systems don't win games. Players do.I get you’re upset about witnessing a loss live, but that’s sport.
Amorim is trying to determine his squad on the fly, we all know that. Today was hardly a rotated squad. Only really Zirkzee and Malacia. And Zirkzee is a big money signing who should be getting chances like today.
If you’re happy with regular 5th place finishes, and shit football, then fine, but if you want to one day watch your team lift a title again, you’ll have to commit to the growing pains.
Too much common sense,you won't last long on here posting like thatHow else do you prefer Amorin teach the players his system? Training and matches are the way for players to learn.
I don't what you expect here. This squad isn't great thanks to poor purchases for a decade. The squad isn't in great physical shape, thanks to the previous manager. You want him to start playing guys 3 times every 8 days? What will happen? There will be more injuries and overall play will suffer from fatigue. He needs to rotate (for now.) He needs to figure out which players have got it in them, and which players who don't and can be offloaded in the summer.
Amorin is pulling a Klopp. Klopp came in October I think, so he too didn't get the benefit of a preseason. Klopp finished on 60 points, when they finished on 62 the year prior. Klopp spent the season coaching the players in his system and it paid off the following year when they finished 4th. It took until his 4th year!! to have the team humming, but fortunately City was still a bit better than them that year.
Klopp is world class manager, and it took him until his 4th year to turn them into title contenders. Took SAF 7 years to win a title. IDK what fans want. Some want to be delusional thinking that it should be an instant quick fix. It's not. Right now, it's all about the players learning the system, playing better and the manager figuring out who will stay and who will go in the offseason.
If you can't stomach the pain that the rest of the season will bring-- do something else with your life. There are going to be some good wins, and some bad losses. Its not going to be easy. Pep took over a team that won the title twice and were runners up twice in the 5 years before he arrived. He inherited a really good squad that included Aguero, DeBruyne, Silva, Kompany, Toure, Sterling, FErnandinho and more. Much more quality than what Amorin, Klopp or SAF had to work with when they took over.
The objective for the rest of the season is to try and win. But for players to learn the system, the manager to learn the players, and then have a successful offseason of buying and selling players to give Amorin a shot at 4th place next season.
I like the rotation right now if I'm a player. The manager is giving every player a chance, they either take that chance and perform well or they don't. Players can't be upset if they given the opportunity and failed. (Well grown up, mature players won't be upset.) Previous managers stuck by players for too long, and didn't give others a chance.
The club is paying the price for bad purchases-- it's going to take 2 more summer transfers of good signings while offloading poor signings at the same time. The club can't just spend 400mm to try and fix the team in 1 offseason. It's going to take time.
Rashford is an issue but he's not the main issue. In fact, Rashford is still one of the best wingers in the club.
By leaving him out of the squad, you will potentially field an even worse player in his position. Like Malacia or Antony. Unthinkable to drop Rashford without proper replacement. This is on Amorim.
No it's the turd mentioned in one of the Rashford threads!Did they block the bog with mice?
