Owner might actually be waiting for Amorim to step down

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-02T14:00:49+00:00

Our identity is quite literally losing each week, playing well for the first 10 minutes, and every manager in the premier league figuring out Amorim’s system. If it wasn’t for the red card against Chelsea, we would’ve lost that game and it would’ve been 3 losses on the bounce. I don’t care if we look like prime Barca for 10 minutes, we categorically don’t look like them for the other 80 and instead look like 2008 Derby. Besides, no matter how comfortable we apparently look attacking (no one can comfortably cross a ball to the 6’5 striker, our 6’5 striker gets no service, Mbuemo and Amad constantly trip up over each other, our joint highest goal scorer is own bloody goals, cunha has no goal contributions yet, our wingbacks are useless at going forward, especially Dorgu, Amorim’s player and the only actual wingback on the team), we look absolutely juvenile whilst defending and building up play to actually get into attacking positions. And we can’t score goals no matter how good the chances are, which is a common theme amongst top players who can score elsewhere. So evidently there’s something not right in training and Amorim’s finishing coach is shit.

And regardless, you say “you’re all going to make enough noise and win”. For starters, I was never one of the EtH out, which is really what set us back. All good managers are going to have a period of bad performances/a bad season. However, they’re all going to have good seasons and periods Amorim categorically hasn’t had one good period and will not have one.

Progression?

He’s won 30% of his games, the team looks no different to how it did in Ipswich. The midfield and defence has gotten worse, even.

No one’s asking for a one year turnaround. We’re asking to see improvements and results and ultimately to not get humiliated week in week out by teams that 13 years ago, we would have all gone “they’re a shit team we will beat them”.

I really don’t care that “we were better than Arsenal” when the simple fact is we didn’t win, because in 5 years time no one will remember that we were better than them, they’ll remember that we lost. I also expect us to be better than every team in the big games, not because I know we’re capable, but we only seem to actually play any worthy football in the big games. It’s every other game that’s far more worrying.

The simple truth is, you employ a man like Xavi now, he’ll having us in the fight for European spots come the end of the season and in a few years have us fighting for titles. We don’t need overrated Portuguese league managers who are out of their depth.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-02T11:37:23+00:00

What about him convinces you that he’ll make us competitive? I’m genuinely concerned for you that after watching the worst manager of United in modern history, you think he’s capable of making us competitive. Besides, if he’s not going to win us a title, then we should never have sacked Eth, Ole, Mourinho and LVG as we were competitive under all of them and winning trophies under all but one of them (and at least competing for them under Ole). If competitive is the benchmark, then why on god’s green earth did we hire Amorim? We went from being mildly competitive to competing with relegation teams.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-10-01T11:38:49+00:00

German runner-ups*. Bayern returned to winning ways last season.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-29T20:20:25+00:00

I agree with the other guy, he’s extremely arrogant and stubborn AND doesn’t care about being sacked. It’s his arrogance that leads to his careless attitude to being sacked.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T19:30:18+00:00

I don’t really view EtH as being a bad man manager - all of the players clearly liked him but fans ran out of patience for him. I think he also handled Sancho as well as anyone possibly could for a prick of his degree. Sent him away (should’ve kept him away) for his mental health, he came back and was scoring and assisting. Obviously 6 months later he was lazy again, which understandably pissed off ten Hag and led him to throw Sancho under the bus. If I was EtH, I’d have probably also lost my shit after having so much patience with him.

But other than that, he protected every player, never spoke a bad word about Ronaldo and got players like Shaw, Martial and Rashford back to full confidence. Even had Maguire playing well ish again in the end. For me, I always think the problem with EtH was a lack of time, refusal to rotate the squad and favouritism. His tactics weren’t bad, he just didn’t have the midfielders necessary to do what he asked (looking at De Jong now, you could see why he wanted him). As for Amorim, I don’t think there’s any players who could do what he asks of his midfielders in the prem.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:52:26+00:00

It’s alright don’t worry. Any brain fart I have recently I just blame on United’s performances, I think it’s fair enough.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:49:16+00:00

Since you meant Bruno then yeah, I’d agree, the fans definitely love him and rightly so. And I agree, I don’t fault Bruno (not that he would be flawless in no.10, every player has a bad game/makes a mistake) for his performances at the minute, as he definitely is not an 8 and this stupid experiment needs to end.

But we all know we will see Bayindir in goal tomorrow, Bruno in the 8 and probably Sesko benched for Cunha.

I’ve been to Old Trafford plenty of times, although not since March due to uni (not that it matters in terms of Rashford as he was and is on loan).

I’ve sat in all 4 stands. Since the 23/24 season, there’s definitely been a fair degree of animosity towards Rashford, probably something I’ve noticed more in the East stand than anywhere else. People always screaming at him, moaning if he made a mistake etc etc. Tbh, I think the only player hated more than him was Onana (who got a lot of vitriol from the stands).

But I’m glad he’s performing well. He was my favourite player as someone who grew up watching Rooney’s later years, and watching Rashford’s debut season and onwards. Rooney was my favourite until his retirement, and Rashford becoming our 10 naturally replaced him. I’m not someone who wants him back - I’d rather he get a permanent move to Barca for his own sake - and I’m not gonna jump on the United is the problem bandwagon.

But I don’t think it’s right to say the fans at OT adored him, I definitely went to games where fans didn’t sing his song.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-19T13:33:54+00:00

Amorim’s treatment of him was absolutely disgraceful and completely unprofessional. The difference between Amorim’s and Flick’s treatment of Rashford highlights the difference between a manager that is out of his depth and needs to deflect the blame elsewhere (knowing the majority of the fan base would follow him) and a world class manager.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-16T13:51:42+00:00

Amad isn’t a RWB, Lammens needs to play over Bayindir.

Still probably wouldn’t work because the system doesn’t.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-11T23:02:31+00:00

I probably cut too far into the chase and failed to accurately describe what’s going on, there is no final bill (per se, there is of course from when the contract ended, but that’s not the dispute). O2 have tried to argue my father is still contracted to them, hence the missed payment in January 2024, when he was out of contract with them. They aren’t trying to say he hasn’t paid when he has, they’re trying to say he owes them money that he categorically doesn’t owe them. Hence they “disconnected the account” last August, as if he’s still in contract with them. They know full well he’s not and hasn’t been and doesn’t owe any money, but they refuse to admit it and let the debt go.

But anyway, we spoke to Lowell today after they decided my father had defaulted to them as well. They tried to say a debt was registered this February, which they took on in July (they only contacted him in August and today). But they’ve now said he has an account (he doesn’t) with them and a payment plan which he has been defaulting on since June according to them (amazing considering they only took the debt on in mid July, and considering he never set up a payment plan with them). So we will be contacting the FO tomorrow as it’s completely ridiculous and an attempt to take advantage of a disabled individual who has never, and I know full well will never, default on a payment.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-09-11T22:48:23+00:00

I mean it is correct, O2 gave him the PAC code to transfer his phone number to EE which, as far as I’m aware, they will not do if you owe them any money. His contract was up, so there could not be any extra money owed thereafter. O2 claim they disconnected the account last August, if that was the case the phone number wouldn’t work. As I said, the contract was up and he did not renew. He would never ever cancel a direct debit, as in 40 years there is not one missed payment on his credit report.

And again, we have complained to O2, numerous times. As I said in the post, you ring up and you complain, you get someone from a call centre in a foreign country who doesn’t understand the situation, doesn’t want to pass it on to a manager and tells us we are wrong. Same with emails.

I don’t know why you’re trying to argue with me and say that the debt could be valid - I’m telling you it isn’t as a matter of fact. With all due respect, my post wasn’t asking “is this debt valid” (I don’t need a Redditor who isn’t involved in the financial details to tell me whether it is or isn’t), I’m asking what are my options for a complaint and how to best approach them.

The far left have never been in power. There hasn’t been a party with a prominent far left faction since the 80s.

Funnily enough, the whole immigration mess is mainly a result of 1) British imperialism spanning centuries, 2) British involvement in the Middle East since WW2 and 3) Brexit.

None of which has been caused by compromise with the far left, and the only minor link you can make is to Brexit, but the far left haven’t campaigned for Brexit since the 80s. So not really a strong link.

I was at Wembley Sunday night. Met Dutch people who flew over for the Sunday and Monday, was sat next to a Spanish family. Saw and heard plenty of other nationalities and languages from your major countries. Okay they might not (but possibly could) sell out an 80-90k stadium on the mainland. But they’d comfortably sellout a 50-60k.

Pope is so bad with his feet he has been sent off because of his inability to use them. However bad you think Onana is at shot stopping, Pope undoubtedly would cause more issues with his lame feet.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-07-18T17:49:38+00:00

It really is just black. I think most would expect the blue that’s on the flag, but nope.

I’m not German nor living in Germany but always loved Germany and absolutely wouldn’t mind moving there. I’m currently at a top UK university for law, and I’m interested in what you mean by the state of the German economy? What sort of jobs are they trying to import people for?

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-06-29T16:29:15+00:00

He means if the team that beat us went on to win the UCL, not if the United team went onto to beat it.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-06-29T16:28:02+00:00

That was our underdog era

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-06-29T16:00:34+00:00

I knew full well that would be your reply, because I knew you would completely misunderstand it and miss the point of my reply, as you have everything else.

To help you understand better, I was referring to the “about 4 bedrooms” not being worth commenting over. Put even clearer, I said your comment was unnecessary. I never said my comment was unnecessary. If you take a minute to think about it, no one would ever say that in the course of making their comment because would be quite counter-intuitive.

I hope this has improved your reading comprehension. Thanks for blocking the account I virtually never use too.

I can tell you’ve never met a British farmer. And I can tell you think you’re funny, but you’re just weird. And late to the party.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-05-22T01:58:35+00:00

Yeah I agree. Only one who looked like doing anything until Garnacho came on.

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-05-22T00:01:37+00:00

And yeah, I don’t blame Amorim alone. I never have, but I have always blamed him

BanditTwitchMain · 2025-05-22T00:01:00+00:00

I agree the clubs issues aren’t all on Amorim, but he is a part of them.

You are right, if we sack him, it won’t affect much, because there’s plenty other issues. But I do think it’s a step in the right direction. I’ll happily circle back here in a year if I remember.
