In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) are here to give their reaction just hours after the news has broke. Where did it all go wrong for ETH? What's next for United? and what were the highlights?
They also react to United's loss away at West Ham, including a breakdown of that ridiculous VAR decision.
He's clearly holding out for his own United mousemat like Moyes got. Anything less is disrespectful.
Sounds like there's still plenty to be discussed before a final agreement can be announced - reasonable that nothing is official tonight.
Poor guy is getting grilled about United's interest in his press conference. 
It's off lads
To the Southgate thread

Scenes when he turns it down to piss off the media
Being uber respectful to his current employers…. Hopefully that’s just it
Somewhere in Norway , Ole smiles a little.
That’s what I’m choosing to believe as well.
if he’s sporting an erection there, it’s undetectable to the naked eye. i’d question just how much he wants this job.
Ratcliffe has reinstated the OG boomer communication device.
It will be official soon enough. Let them get all the paperwork done.
I wonder if Moyes got to keep that when he was sacked?
Shit manager, never wanted him anyway.
At the very end of the post match press conference, suddenly a british journo asked a question and Amorim just burst out laughing as soon as he heard english being spoken... at a damn portuguese league cup game presser.
This presser was brutal. As usual, Ruben Amorim spoke too much and too long about the potential deal.
He did not confirm, but the way he spoke makes it seem like there's some details that need sorting (assistant coaches, maybe?).

Last I heard is he threw it in as part of the Fellaini deal to try and convince them to give us Baines as well.
Finally, a body language expert I can take seriously.
I seem to remember ETH saying similar things at press conferences when he was being asked about MUFC while still at Ajax.
Sounds like normal quotes to me. He can't say much else at the moment
Nothing troubling in the quotes
Oh come on, he was absolutely on fire
He was nowhere near world class.
It is happening lads. Chill.
Well, if Amorim comes, I guess we will be shopping at Sporting next summer.
My biggest hope is that Amorim (if he signs) has the intelligence to analyse the players he has immediately at his disposal and deploy them to the best of their ability as a team, and that he does not rigidly stick to a system that does not suit the players he has, I hope that he has the tactically ability to work towards where he wants to be whilst maintaining a level of performance which is at least keeping us in contention towards the top of the league.
I do not want to pile on ETH now he has gone, but my biggest disappointment with him was his lack of footballing intelligence, and the stubbornness he displayed, I get he has a system that he wanted to implement but he was awful actually getting us from A to B.
Do not get me wrong Amorim needs to ring the changes, the formation, the style, the approach, and I am all for giving him the time to do it, we need to see improvement but moreover we need to see a plan that is not kamikaze, I have every confidence that this will be the case.

This.
ETH was being asked similar questions at pressers while he was still at Ajax. His responses weren't much different to Ruben's.
That's not how Sporting fans are reading it, judging by their forum. Think the ambiguity reveals lack of character. There is really no good way to leave, well with your fans, in the middle of a successfull season.
'I will be here'
'Definitely ? '
....'I don't know'
Well at least he has ETH beat in the charisma department.
We should get the dude on the right to replace Onana.I think this is how we will look by September 2025
With a head that size, he'd cover half the goal.
That’s a bit harsh. He isn’t being ambiguous per se. He just cant say anything until it’s confirmed. He did confirm we have made an offer and it is up to him.
I'd have him as an impact player, imagine what a target man he'd be for Crosses and corners
The back of his shirt would read M. Ascot
Nothing less than expected from his press conference, he clearly likes to keep things under wraps, like secretly flying out to speak to West Ham and if that was worthy of his time it’s hard to see how he’d not want to join us…considering, also, that we were on his list for a cheaper buy out clause.
Looks like he’s just being respectful until it’s official but that smile and laugh to the English reporter was quite telling. Can’t wait to see him in the dugout!!

As opposition fans how you feel about him? What do you think his tactics lack or may be an issue in the PL where every game is a battle?
Old news/rubbish source? Didn’t he just say at the press conference that he will be at training in Lisbon tomorrow morning?
He scored goals but his overall play was sub-par to say the least.
