He finished 9th twice and 16th once. He’s got all it takes to manage the biggest club in England

It’s okay we’ll give him a new contract before sacking him anyway. #TheUnitedWayGood deal. 2.5yrs should be enough to see atleast something. Like that approach so that we don’t have to pay millions in severance for complete failure.
Remember we tied Moysey for 6yrs
He has overperformed for years on a very tight budget, excelled in a structure rather similar to what INEOS seem to be implementing, is a good communicator, likeable and popular with his players.
But again, I’m not against Amorim.
That and the whole Danish thing.
Are we not literally putting in a structure ourselves for a 'head coach' and not a manager.
We could’ve done worse and tied him down for 8 years like Newcastle did with Alan PardewGood deal. 2.5yrs should be enough to see atleast something. Like that approach so that we don’t have to pay millions in severance for complete failure.

If anyone thinks I’m biased towards Frank because he’s Danish, they should look up my posts in the Højlund thread.Him being Danish
Look up my posts about Højlund if you think I’m biased towards Danes.
No nothing to do with any interview.. its about quality. He may have done well with Brentford but he also finished 16th in the table with them last season.
He has done nothing in the cups either, so there is no suggestions he has what it takes to be a United manager.
Here’s an idea, let’s not go buy a load of players just because the manager has worked with them before.
It has a lot to do with that interview for many people, yeah. Just look at the amount of posters jumping on me for daring to suggest a Premier League manager who has outperformed his budget for several seasons in a row, without even suggesting Amorim is a bad choice. Brentford should be a relegation side and Frank has consistently had them comfortably above the relegation zone. Is he a shoe-in perfect candidate? No. Is he such a bad candidate that it should be this controversial mentioning his name? Obviously not. Clear evidence of the irrational dislike.
He’s not the first manager to have overperformed, worked in a similar structure, doesn’t mean that they’re well equipped to handle the biggest clubs.
It’ll be interesting to see how Frank does in this season in the next, i’m far from convinced that he’s good enough.
This is now my favourite collective noun of all time.
ETH got slated for signing a lot of his former players. The only one I’d take from sporting is the ST. That young CB is really good but we don’t need a CB since we still have Yoro.
Result.
Let's hope Ruud can do us proud until the 24th.

Would have liked him in sooner since we have a run of home games. But Ipswich should be a fairly easy test for him.
I don’t think the preference for Amorin over Frank is irrational. Managers who win league titles and cups (in any league) will naturally seem a better fit at a club with aspirations of winning the league than a manager who’s been scrapping for mid table league positions. No matter what budget he’s working with.
Ruud will have to buy a few more turtlenecks so.
I’m actually quite pleased he gets a few more opportunities to soak up some applause from the Stretford End.
fecking hell there’s another international break?
He spend 70m last summer and 100m Euros this summer.. he is keeping Brentford up which is a great job, take nothing away from the job he has done but there is a big step up taking over at United.
Its got nothing to so with him personally, the football his teams play isnt the greatest imo either, I do not want to see Frank ball at OT.
When you have Ruben Amorin for comparison, there is no comparison really.
No, no, not at all. I think Amorim is an exciting choice.
You must be from Dublin?
Don't think many people said the same when Ole was our manager.....
No matter how it sounds from a MU fan I think this is a fair resolution.
Sounds like a certain Moyes i know
Shame not to get him through the door immediately, but at least Ruud has an okayish 3 games ahead.
The crowd will be class against Chelsea, and the other two are winnable on paper.

Buzzing. Let's go.
Anyone worried Pep will destroy him?
Getting him in during the international break is ideal in my opinion. Gives him some time to get everyone up to speed on what he’s trying to do as well as gives him some time to settle in on a personal level.
Shame it didn’t happen during the last international break but at least we got here now
I'm sure 99% of the Forum haven't got a fecking clue what you're on about.
Sounds sexual
I don’t see what is in this for Sporting Lisbon to keep a manager an extra ten days when everybody knows he’s going. Surely that just causes unrest for everybody.
When most of the players are away on international duty?
No. But there were other, obvious, reasons for people hoping he could do a good job. Specifically the results when he was appointed as caretaker.
