I spent all my summers in Portugal growing up as all my family live there and it almost certainly wasn't my experience growing up. Not many spoke English unless they needed to or went to more of the International schools. Maybe I was just hanging around the wrong places if it was more common than I thought
Either way, I think in the last decade or so it's become more common as the tourism there has boomed and you do see some big companies based themselves there opening up the need to learn/speak English
Why not?
This isn’t a regular citizen applying for a tourist visa. Sports visa have a special process and it’s much quicker. How are we able to sign players today and play them 2 days from now?
Any excuse…. Manchester mad lads on a jolly in Portugal.
I think you/I had every right to be excited about ETH. Just because it didn't work out doesn't mean we shouldn't have been optimistic.
I know less about Amorim, so not as excited but I am still hopeful he will coach us into a better team now with the players we have.
Phew!
Keeping himself on ice for the world cup.
the LB/LWB position should be the priority in the upcoming window.

Poor form, poor attitude. Plus we finished 8th and are now 14th with Bruno as captain
Save the flight tickets and send these lads in again
What's the story with these three? I forgot.
Herrera transfer guys.
It sounds like he is the anointed one... I just wish we'd consider a few names and interview more than one. Doing otherwise landed us with Moyes - and everything that has followed
I don't know much about either of them but Martinez?
I’ve been saying this for a while. Basically because I’m one of the few who apparently believes INEOS knows what they’re doing. It’s hard to accept since we’ve had a decade of bobblehead Ed Woodward at the helm, but it’s pretty clear from the way we conducted transfer business in the summer that these guys aren’t fecking around.
He's too hysterical, doesn't motivate and let's the team's heads drop
There's been plenty of talk saying how we've spoken to a few managers. In the summer and more recently.
Can't believe the negativity around this from the outside.
I think INEOS have played a blinder...perhaps that's why people are upset actually...sulking because once again, we have proven that despite being terrible, we can attract top managers and players.

Imagine if his first decision as manager saw him name Chris Armas as assistant manager.

They spent the summer interviewing everyone under the sun. It's not like Amorim is the only name that has ever been considered.
From the apparent speed this is moving, it seems like they dithered on sacking Ten Hag exactly because they were finding the right candidate and getting this lined up behind the scenes.
We interviewed plenty in the summer.
The transposters.
Yoro is an excellent ball playing CB with excellent passing too.
I don't believe they interviewed anyone... might have sounded out availability so that didn't spend time looking at someone who couldn't/didn't want to come but I don't reckon it went further than that
I guess we should have stripped Bryan Robson of the captaincy after our mid table finishes in the late 80s.
Roy Keane shouts at referee and teammates: Passion. Leader.
Bruno shouts at referee and teammates: Whiny. Attitude problem.
Did you post just to wum ? If yes, I will leave it as is. If you really mean it, do you mind explaining the thought ?
We are actually in a very decent shape for any manager to take over and play whatever style they want. The missing link is a left back who can stay fit and a winger who can dribble . We did try for Olise but didn't happen. yes, someone expected Shaw to stay fit and that was a mistake. But you can't blame them for nor fixing everything over one window.
That’s just you conjecturing though. The media thinks otherwise, simply depends on what you want to believe.
Is he another counter attack manager then?
Precisely.
Bruno is a fantastic player, if Amorim can unlock him that will go a long way towards getting us back to our best, and getting Hojlund the service he needs.
Keane and Bruno cannot be compared. Keane would have fought the world to protect his team mates. Keane shouted at team mates if they weren’t giving their all, Bruno rolls around like he’s been attacked by a cage fighter whenever he feels any contact and then throws his arms around like Kevin and Perry when he doesn’t get a foul. It’s not the same. We need leaders to win on a consistent basis.
Poor attitude? You’re having a laugh. Also all the problems art the club are Bruno’s fault? I don’t think so.
Really?
It honestly sounds like we scoured Europe for the best possible fit. I'm not sure how you arrived at that viewpoint.
Will he get to bring his own coaches? Talk of sporting looking at his assistant to take over from him.
Herrera transfer pre-quel
Spent close to a year reviewing, canvassing, interviewing and planning. Probably the most considered appointment we have had in years.
Hard to say, although the value of retaining one assistant that is tied to United will not be lost on him, which is why I think there may be some consideration for Ruud staying.
