When most of the players are away on international duty?
Ruben Amorim | United meet Sporting release clause
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
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.
I guess we were nice to Sporting to not destroy a good relationship hence he starts only in a fee weeks. Not ideal for us and he should have come in after the weekend already
I don’t think every single one of our players play for their national team do they? And it’s still better than dropping in two days before a game in my opinion
Pure pettiness. We shall not forget this cheap act when we go raiding them in the next few transfer windows.
Most of our starting squad do. Which players wouldn’t?
Rashford...
I agree, let's just give up and not try and further lower the standards and culture
And how does your brilliant point apply to the 3 cups?
That's annoying
This season is fecked anyway so it makes no real difference whether he joins now or in 2 weeks.
There's no need to negotiate this hard.

Great news.
He is the coach I liked and to get a top performer from a top Portuguese club for 10mil has to be a result.
THey did cheap out slightly but I can understand not paying 3 Million for 10 days
I had Frank in the firmly do not want basket along with Potter and Southgate.
Can we just never speak Southgate's name again please? Thanks..
Except for the massive amount on here who done just that. But yeah.
I have a mate who lapped up the media bullshit and seemed convinced that we really were interested in him.

Bar Alonso we're probably getting the best manager we could've hoped for and there are fans moaning we didn't go for Thomas fecking Frank instead. This place man 
My dad did the same and it infuriated me
We'll live with it. I never thought the Chelsea game was an ideal first one anyway with our habit of getting smashed by these teams.
Hopefully Ruud can get a couple more positive results so that he can start work with us having a bit of confidence and momentum.

Especially when you have a competent interim. The Chelsea game would have probably been too soon and even if we could get him, he'd only have a day or two to prepare. We should be beating POAK and Leicester regardless of the manager.

Shame we gave to wait a few weeks but oh well
Got a good feeling about this one

The speed Liverpool and City fans are trying to deny they were ever interested speaks volumes.
As does the lack of memes and suchlike. Other clubs will be slightly worrried. They wanted Potter, Southgate etc.,
Get in! Hopefully Ruud carries us over well enough. Something that should've happened a while ago, but better late than never
Great news.
I'd have liked him to start next week but I suppose the international break makes some sense too. It's cool to see Ruud in charge, too.
I'm just delighted we've actually gone and out aggressively appointed the best man for the job. I was worried we'd be dithering over Potter or something.

I wonder if its a good idea to keep someone like Ruud as a bridge between the club and a brand new coaching team.
Otherwise, it will be reminiscent of Moyes & staff coming in with a brand new setup—not knowing how the club works. Most people coming in are usually surprised at the size of the club and the extra work load required.

The City game is going to be insanely scrutinised.
I ran an experiment on FM and he was sacked after 3 years.
Won the Europa season 2 though.

Different setup. I'd rather have no buffer between the head coach and the upper hierarchy
Actually buzzing and understand him coming in during the break. OT will be rocking on Sunday and pleased Ruud gets another 3 home games too.
This is my worry, the narrative will be that he's not fit for purpose if he can't winThe City game is going to be insanely scrutinised.

Fantastic… and a rare occasion when can look forward to an Intl break.
To be fair, we've talked ahead of the previous international break about how it would be the best time to make a change. So really, waiting until the next international break would be OK.
It's not as if Amorim would have been able to make many changes had he taken the reigns sometime during our tight schedule we have over the next 10 days, with a game every three or days.

So it looks like €10m for Amorim, €1m for his back room staff, and we agree to let them have him until the International Break.
Completely different to real life then, where he will come in and manage the club for 33 years without ever losing a game.
We had a winning team when Moyes came over and he dismantled it completely. We now have a rather questionable setup, so I don't mind if they bring the entire gin gang over and dismantle the current one.
Best finish was 6th.
They have City and Braga in that timeframe, and it lets them get a new manager on board. Plus we have a solid relationship with them, and will likely be raiding them soon enough for their striker, so lets play nicely.
