Paid ETH - £10.4 million to him and his staff after his sacking
Paid Sporting £9.25 million to get Amorim (release clause)
Now paying circa £9.75 million 14 months later...for his sacking

Yet Wilcox and Berrada still getting to call the shots.... Crazy stuff.

Bit of a pointless sacking. Getting this woeful squad up to 5th/6th at the half way point is impressive.

The squad is mid to lower premier league quality.

To spend £50m + on the likes of Yoro who looks worse every time he plays or £70m on sesko who by all accounts just cannot score goals. Then complain there isn’t any money or backing in January is insanity.

You have to be kidding right. What you are essentially saying is that you think Amorim was elevating these players and getting more out of them than their base level.

Lads@MUFC, the sacking news has overshadowed the important stuff?

If we're going with that level of discussion......your mum.

I think he'd do a decent job. I don't think there are any amazing candidates available right now.

Huh? What are you on about? That's not the type of reply you'd normally reply with.

It's a serious question, if he's so good, why hasn't he managed a premier league club since he got a team relegated from it?

As an aside, I think Amorim will be a good manager somewhere else. He came in with good intentions but the job quickly overwhelmed him, as it would many managers. He was also 39 when he was appointed which is unusually young for a manager.

We talk often about the club and squad needing an overhaul, and it does, but you have to balance that against expectations, scrutiny and results, and he got that all wrong. You cannot be a successful manager without being pragmatic, and he absolutely isn't.

It does seem to be odd timing, Only thing I can think of is they wanted the new manager to have the January transfer window.

Nah, we've already been leaking that there won't be any business in january unless someone leaves. Maybe they meant Amorim though lol.

I think he did a decent job with England and think he would be effective in getting better performances out of the squad we have.

I don't know or care why he hasn't gone to work for another PL club. Maybe he just wanted a break after the England circus.
 
The Southgate stuff came about because Ashworth liked him and thought he might work. He's long gone, so unless Wilcox is keen on him, I can't see it happening.

I think the Man Utd job is uniquely messy, and Southgate is a pretty unorthodox manager who does things a bit differently. His focus is on protecting players from the spotlight and keeping things simple and cautious, obviously long term that isn't ideal, but short term it might just work to some degree. We have creativity in the squad with the likes of Bruno and Cunha, what we need is a clear structure.

His previous job in the league was so long ago that it's not necessarily that relevant now.

I'd be intrigued to see it... I think he'd be a far more interesting interim option than Darren Fletcher, put it that way.
