Nice to see a bit of positivity on here for a change.
Love listening to his interviews. He just seems like a cool guy and he speaks with quite a lot of confidence. Can’t wait to see what he can bring to us.
Wrong thread brotha.
ten Hag ignored him in a press conference but I don't believe the club ever banned him. He absolutely should be though because I bet he turns up for Amorim's first press conference to try and stir shit again. Awful person tbh.
Amorim reacts very politely and with class, I like it.
Whatcha gonna do when Trumpmania runs wild on Kamala, brother?
English football journalism is truly embarrassing.
Concentrated cringe, fecking hell! This guy knows someone high up or how does he find himself in the position to be asking anything? I'd ban him outright, if he isn't already.
It sounds like you are re-writing the past?

Who gave him the bag of smarties?!Forgot about how he was in the beginning.
More shades of red states than shades of blue. It’s a sign.
It’s called being an absolute cnut I believe.
I’m pretty circumspect about this whole episode because it feels like we are back to square one, but I do love the way he is calling Utd ‘My club’ and he’s very definite about he chose his club and United is what he wanted. A minor detail but I’m here for it. He seems a very impressive individual.
Have you suffered a bang on the head?
Not more than usual, i think.
Came across really well in that short 5 minute interview. Definitely got charisma and a sense of humour.
That's his teeth
No hyperbole, we are almost the worst attacking team in the Premier League?
How can this be so.
I can’t put into words how unfathomably bad that is.
I like that's he's respectful and honest but he needs to give the press less respect when they don't respect him. When he asked "why", just continue talking in Portuguese and if the journalist is disruptive kick him out!
Because Gary Cotterill is a dick
I’m willing to give him years to sort this mess out. All I want is to see positive sustained progress, no matter how big or how little, just continuous progress in the right direction.
I never felt this with any United manager since SAF. Sure some had patches, like ETH first half tenure or Ole when he was interim and some months after that. But it was never sustained for any significant period of time.

Definitely. As long as we're showing actual progress, season after season I'll give him years for sure. The problem with our previous tenures is that we hit a brick wall after some initial progress, then it just becomes worse and worse on the pitch and we hit unimaginable lows, breaking all sorts of negative records before they're eventually sacked. It simply can't be allowed to reach that point this time around.
If I were him, I’d do United pressers in English except any questions Cotterill might ask. Those I would insist on answering in Portuguese. vai-te foder Gary Cotterill!
I hope Ruben has a chance to take the team on a mini-winter break so that he can implement some of his basic ideas, bond with the players etc.
Wing play and always having borderline world class wingers is what makes the difference, a big leader and a psycho in the middle somewhere, everyone is always switched on. I don’t buy this thing where a team with worse players just outwork us over and over. Rashford could be class but he’s been totally shite for more years than really good. I like the signings since the boffins came in. They will mostly be helpful to any manager or tactic and good age/potential. We are a mid table club at this second but Onana Rashford DeLigt Ugarte Mainoo Mazraoui there’s big talent there for sure. Can we kick on? I hope ineos take no prisoners playing wise. You got your big club Jim. Get us some world class players and it’ll all click. Simple as that. Not letting Haaland and Bellingham go is the name of the game. We are more ambitious and focused now I hope. Anything is better than the glazers.

Seems fine to me. It will improve with practice. I’m sure the club will have a light touch assistant/translator on hand if needed
Jesus, we completely broke him.
12 games in 55 days once he starts at Ipswich. That's not a whole lot of training time to get your ideas across. So people will need to be patient with the 3-4-3 system if it looks a bit shite early on. I hope he sticks with it, I'm a bit fed up of the same old 4-3-3 at this point.
Can’t blame him, to be fair. 11 years of constant false dawns would do that to people.
Just saw a reporting whining about him not speaking in English at the press conference. Entitled wanker who seemed intent on shit stirring.
I'd be very surprised he it doesn't, and very disappointed if he does
Because it's very reminiscence of Ten Hag's first season where he more or less just adopts Ole's tactics.
There will surely be calls of the team having "no identity", even if the results are favourable.
Basically what I'm saying is, if we want a go-with-the-flow type of manager (e.g. Ancelotti), we should not be hiring someone that has only proven to play a certain way at the highest level. That's not to say he can't coach any other system and be good at it, but he should not be learning on the job here.
What is the alternative? You can't play a low block with high press as we've seen under Ten Hag.
So is your suggestion just to.. not press at all and park the bus?

Ace Ventura is an outdated, shite film.
Allllriiigghty then!
As the manager that will be his and his coaching staffs job to figure out. It’s possible he adapts his style/formation for the rest of this season until he gets a transfer window under his belt. Haven’t people said he’s quite similar to ETH in being stubborn with his style/tactics though?
Can’t lie, i have been impressed with how he presents himself (based on the interviews at least). I think he can get a tune out of our players. Definitely has that commanding aura.
