What now?

Yeah, so what now? In many ways that was a fitting end to a tragic season. No silverware; no Champions League football, which means that we're missing out on prestige and decent money. We're cash-strapped. Morale is at an all-time low.

Would players want to join us, given that Amorim's rebuild has taken a massive hit after tonight? Or should he go?
 
This is the abyss. A truly horrific collection of spineless men playing for a club with cash strapped owners and a a manager who can't coach the system he knows
 
Amorim should walk. I have sympathy for what he walked in to but he is tarnished now.
 
Well at least our clueless manager wont be crying about having to play 2 games a week.
 
He's gonna stay. We'll give him the players he needs to apparently make this shit show work, and by November when we're languishing around 15th he'll get the sack.

And it starts all over again.
 
The only possible silver lining we can hope for is that the financial struggle we are about to endure forces the Glazers out. If INEOS go too, we can’t be unhappy. They’ve ripped the soul out of the club without making it better in the slightest.
 
We’re fecked, basically. We’re going to be looking at Liam Delap as our main striker next season, and I think we’ll be very lucky if Bruno is still with us next season.

Maybe knee jerk, but I really do think this is so damaging.
 
Yeah this is bad. Missed out on £85m tonight. Will probably have to sell more players to buy now, and any attempt at rejuvenation and building a proper team will take a lot longer.
 
Now we rebuild properly. Bin off a bunch of these shite players, get a small and concise group as we won't have fixture congestion, rediscover what we are supposed to be as a football Club and go from there.

Oh, and buy a fecking striker who is fit to wear the shirt.
 
Rebirth. It starts from scratch, hopefully.
Build a real team not a patchwork of unsuited flops.
 
Sack Amorim. It's fecking hopeless and you'd have to be a world class optimist to think this is going to magically fix itself with a good pre-season and a couple of new faces.
 
I don't see how you keep an underwhelming manager who doesn't have the propensity to learn because despite being in his managerial infancy he's already as stubborn as an older timer that's 'seen it all'.

Lives and dies by his system which has no equivocation of working in the league, given he's come from a domestic environment that saw Bas Dost score almost a hundred goals in 125 games.

Amorim is bottom of the pile, De Zerbi, Areola or Thomas Frank should be the target for the summer. People can have their disagreements on the said managers but what's not up for discussion is how far standards have fallen under Ruben.

Worst manager in United's recent history.
 
We just lost to Postecoglu Spurs for the 4th time in one season. They got clean sheets in 2.

Anybody thinking there's a bright side is absolutely deluded
 
Now, we get ready to be a mid-table club for a pretty long time.

We will not be back into the top four this decade, mark my words.
 
The manager situation aside, I think the "opportunity" here is to shift loads of players. We'll only have the league to contend with so we won't need a big squad.
