Lol, you dodged my questions? cheesy

- the average term is not fixed.

- Yes they do...did INOS tell you they made a mistake hiring a manager in mid season without the right players for his style?

- 3 months is too short term, especially when you are forcing square pegs into round holes.

- How do you know it's a mistake in 3 months without the right tools?
Average shelf life is 2-3 years. Reason I tell people to stop looking at long term managerial stuff.

If you have square pegs, then target square holes until you get round pegs. Not like there are only round holes everywhere.

So, you’d rather we spend another 700m to confirm that the manager is a mistake? And then you will have the same shitty excuse and requirements for the next manager. Damn!

Convincedly in 3 months with this squad?!

- How many matches did ETH win convincedly after 2 years with the budget he spent on this squad? undecided
Give us the win ratios of ETH vs Amorim. Talking about their first 15 EPL games.

100 percent with u on dis... D whole thing is becoming ridiculous. No sign of improvement yet ur telling us to patient. Patient until we r relegated?. We normally c new manager "bounce".it didn't happen for Amorim
Absolutely ridiculous. The guy is not even trying. He keeps yapping about some stupid style. Not like we are dealing with a Pep or Ancelotti or even a washed up Mou that have won everything in football. This guy is a fuvking rookie that should be open to ideas.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

- Why did you sack them if they achieved something after 2 to 3 years?

- Why do you want to sack this one after 3 months? is 3 months already too much?

- Who do you want to hire next after sacking this one? Pep or Ancelotti?

- How long before you sack the next one? 2 weeks?
What’s the average term of a manager at a top club?

Don’t managers get sacked in 3-6 months after clubs realize their mistakes?

Is 3 months not enough to see an improvement? Is it until we relegate before we sack an underperforming manager?

Which is better and efficient? Overhauling the team for someone that is looking like a mistake or sacking and getting another manager to replace them?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by nitrogen(m): 6:34pm On Feb 23, 2025
Look at Slot and what his boys are doing against City. He’s playing a 4-2-2-2 to choke the midfield and ensure City has possession mostly at the back and wings. He won’t play such formation against say Nottingham forest or Westham. That’s how to think and act as a manager. The players are not aliens, Trent is easy to play against but you won’t see Liverpool fans or even the manager complaining because they know it’s better to focus on his strengths vs weaknesses.

Ten hag even abandoned his style to play to the so called strength of the team even after the first season and still got sacked.
Again, you guys are not getting it. ETH changed in his first season to suit the tools he had, and he did well. We eventually did an overhaul for whatever his style was but he decided not to revert. It’s different!

If you have players that can’t execute your style, we should not suffer for it by remaining stuck at the bottom of the table. Adapt and then go back to your style when you have ‘your’ so called players signed for you.

- Are you saying every Man U manager since Ferguson was sacked for failing to play a style that suited the players?
Focus on the present and stop the whataboutsism. The previous managers were here for 2-3 years and we could say some of them achieved something with the team. I am focusing on the current manager who has not done anything right with this team after 3 months, despite sticking to a certain style of play.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by nitrogen(m): 6:00pm On Feb 23, 2025
Slot is playing to the strength of this Liverpool side. There is no sticking to some stupid style and asking for ‘his own’ players. I don’t care if the players are from mars, if the manager is bad, the team will struggle.

I dont know why someone will just insist on playing a nonsense strange style that is not helping the players.

The Incorrigibility is astounding!

What is wrong with the quality of players you bought? Was it not because of their good performance at their previous clubs that made you buy them or you deliberately targeted bad players and signed them for big money

Every signing was met with excitement until they play for you

The Gravenberch and Szoboslai you mentioned were not moving mountains at their previous clubs when Liverpool bought them and turned them around

If na Man utd buy them, you will be complaining that you bought scrubs
You are wasting your time. Man Utd fans are delusional. They want 11 aliens on the pitch.

If you can think without involving the coach, you’ll understand better why United are struggling. Sack Amorim and bring in the next one whilst holding on to a chunk of these players . Let’s see if things won’t go from fry pan to fire.
Not true. If we are lucky with the next manager, we will at least make top 8, and then improve from there. Don’t discount the fact that these players are better than the current league position suggests. Even Moyes is making Everton look like a top 10 team.

....Buh someone said the comparison I did is dubious. If Rashy ain't good enough to start for Villa, then how is on earth any of our players is good enough to start for a big team?! LOL!
Your agenda does not make sense. The said someone is not fit to start the game. Why are you reading meaning to the statement? Drop this attitude abeg.

At all.
But the fact remains.

A squad that finished 8th, struggled to score goals, and keeps making silly defensive mistakes can’t perform magic the next season. It doesn’t matter who the coach is.

But because the agenda is always about the coach, this fact flies over most fans’ heads.
Finished 3rd the previous season. Plus, how come they are now in a relegation battle? Make we try finish top 8-10 na.

cool

Ruben Amorim: "In training, we have to continue to do the same. In the second half, we changed nothing. We have to do the same thing but in a good way. We have to improve on creating chances and in this game also we struggle with scoring goals."
Keep giving the manager credit for nothing. We were here abusing the team until the free kick from Bruno. Some of your colleagues were saying Amorim was mad for not making any subs. Also, don’t forget that Everton played differently in the second half. Continue!

Why do you like speaking from both sides of the mouth?
You continue to miss my point. The manager stopped performing with the same players he got 3rd position with and we sacked him for another. That’s justified.

I think you are missing the point

When a team struggles with poor results, the manager is usually the 1st casuality

E.g that's why Ten hag was sacked before his Anthony was loaned out...lol
Let him continue to break things down. cheesy

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is insanity.
I don’t get. So other clubs changing managers everytime are stupid or what? So the next reasonable thing to do is keep the current manager, overhaul with another 700m (with debt mind you) and then eventually sack the manager, with the fans asking for another set of ‘his’ players for another manager? Is not that insanity?

2 years ago...football is changing rapidly, even Pep is struggling, what worked 2 years ago might not work today.
lol, we needed to change the manager, and its has backfired. Simple thing is to move on to another rather than start asking for another set of players.

We should overhaul an okay team for a manager that has not even tried to use the current tool to do something meaningful. You are willing to take such risk of being back to this point after wasting another 700m overhaul spend with/on Amorim? You think money grows on trees?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by nitrogen(m): 4:11pm On Feb 22, 2025
The doomsday scenario here does not make sense. This team was 3rd in the EPL two years ago. They won the FA cup last season. We should stop justifying rubbish abeg.

Nitrogen, whichever manager you bring will want his own set of players. Leave sentiment, I believe that was why they hesitated in sacking ETH.
Whichever way they choose it will cost them,...the more they delay it or try to shortcut it, the bigger the cost.

The best is what they are currently doing...weed out the players gradually.
Depends on the manager. Most managers at other clubs work with whatever tool they have temporarily or even parmanently. We man utd fans invented this concept of ‘giving a manager his own players’. Does not make sense.

To terminate his contract, they also need money cheesy grin, and then money to hire a new coach...They won't go for an elite coach because they might not have the money for that...So they either stick with this experiment or start another one afresh. Either way, we will suffer for a long time.
Still cheaper to sack the manager vs changing the squad for him. We are talking 20m vs 150-200m.
