    So all these previous managers were all ****?

    Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourhino, Ten Haag and now its Amorim? I don't think so.

    I hope Amorim fails and fails badly.

    I really am enjoying the manu fall from grace.

    It’s immense and brilliant.

    Their fans have had it good for so long.

    It’s about time someone else went through it.

    And Amorim is a fraud I believe.

    This is the truth behind your opinion on the manager himself and it's because you hate the club.

    Trust me I'm all for hating that lot and wanting them to get relegated, but if you're blaming Amorim, then you're the type of guy that would set fire to your own property, call the fire brigade, and then blame them for the water damage.

    I’m not blaming him. Man the damage was done years and years ago. He’s just part of the recovery and I think they can’t recover it.

    I don’t dislike the man. I think he’s ok.

    But he’s no Eddie Howe.

    Howe has had hundreds of millions, so it's not even worth a comparison just now.

    Each club offers a completely different set of circumstances to work in and I've long thought there's far too much emphasis on what these guys do.

    There's good ones and bad ones though that's for sure and Howes a good one, but even he got relegated, so this God like status managers get is a bit OTT.

    Essentially even the good ones need the right environment, money, time and even luck.

    As you say different circumstances but Eddie did well. Amorim isn’t.

    They have gone backwards.

    We went forwards.

    That’s a fact.

    We didn't go forwards until we spent around 150 million pounds GG.

    Amorim had has virtually **** all so far, the club was a mess on and off the pitch, and despite what you're saying there's definitely been recent improvements.

    It would be wrong if you didn't enjoy it.

    Ahem. Careful what you wish for………
    His appointment at Newcastle also reunited him with former players at Bournemouth, such as Callum Wilson, Matt Ritchie and Ryan Fraser.[40] On 19 November 2021, Newcastle announced that Howe had tested positive for COVID-19 and would miss the first game in charge.[41] He watched his first game as manager from a hotel room as Newcastle drew 3–3 with Brentford on 20 November.[42]

    On 20 April 2022, following a 1–0 victory against Crystal Palace, Howe guided Newcastle to a sixth successive home win, the first time the club had achieved such a feat since 2004 under Sir Bobby Robson.

    Is this the Man U board now?

    We trounced them. It was never in any doubt. Not one Man U player would get in to our first team. EH is the proverbial mile better than Amorin.

    I agree and agree 100%. Actually I would take maybe Fernandes.

    Garnacho looks a raw talent.

    I also like the looks of Hojland.

    You're posting this like they've lost every single game.. We were still **** and heading down.

    Why can't you just accept that Howe was backed and Amorim hasn't been yet? It's not rocket science mate and it definitely matters.

    This is why you need to at least give him that backing before jumping to conclusions.

    Fernandes has the wrong character. He’s a finger pointer.

    Garnacho could be something but not at a good enough level.

    Hojland, not in a month of Sundays.

    Perhaps now you've all realised Amorim hasn't got any good enough players you can see my point?

    I’m convinced he’s a fraud. That’s just my opinion.

    He has won 4/15 games and that’s crap.

    Manu are crap. I tried telling you that before we pumped them 4-1.

    You said they had improved but they haven’t. They are 13th the same as when ETH left and have a worse GD.

    Howe did a far better job with a worse squad. Howe knew and understood what he had to do and that was to improve the players he had.

    Look at how many Amorin has improved. None.

    None at all. He wants them all gone.

    He has basically said they are **** players. What kind of elite manager says that about people.

    He’s a self entitled well above his pay grade arsehole who thinks he is better than man united.

    It would appear that you're trying desperately to funnel the conversation away from the fact he's not had any financial backing whatsoever.

    A few posts back I already established your opinion is largely down to dislike and your rant here has proved it. You're frothing at the mouth for some inexplicable reason.

    It's OK if you haven't seen the improvements and are basing everything on one game they didnt prioritise though to try and prove something... That's your opinion and I don't agree with you that's all.
