Ruben Amorim - AC Milan head coach (not manager, or perhaps manager)

A good sign of how good (or bad) a coach is, is how well they perform after leaving United.

Ten Hag proved he was rubbish. Not looking good for Ruben either.
Only Moyes can hold his head up high, which is funny considering he was the United manager most ridiculed and abused
 
I was wishing him so well and redeem himself at UTD match after match but the game against dreadful Spurs in europa league was the worst thing.

Spurs were having such a bad season, we could have beaten them easily if he wasn't that stubborn. that loss was purely on him.

True. They all failed since. Even Mourinho landed Madrid job by chance and specific circumstances, otherwise he was managing Spurs, Roma and Fenerbahce and not successfully. We'll see with Amorim, do think his formation is better suited for Serie A but he'll also probably have to be more flexible.

You still blame him for that? Mate, Ange always wins things in his second season.

Can't even use the 'lads, its Spurs' quote anymore because of him.

I get so annoyed every time I see an image of big Ange with that trophy that Amorim basically giftwrapped for him.

Sunderland fans wouldn't agree. I live in the NE and they dislike him even more than we do
 
The average person is stupid and easily manipulated when personally invested in something. Loads of United fans bought into his snake oil pitch, and seemingly people in executive positions are just as susceptible to it.
That is the worst part.

Had Amorim not decided to hit the eject button in January, we would likely have kept him until March/April and missed out on the CL places in the weakest Premier League season in recent history.

The whole Amorim era is a huge “L” for the INEOS management team. They panicked into appointing him in the first place, then got scared when the results never came, and eventually got bailed out twice: first, when Amorim decided to leave, and second, when Carrick turned out to be pretty good.
 
This is his biggest United memory for me, do ponder what will be his Milan meme.

I know its only a friendly but it'll be really funny if Rashford scores vs Milan.
 
If he's still going on about suffering he's learnt nothing from his time here
He's just a very negative, mid to lower table coach who is in over his head at these big clubs. He's a Portuguese David Moyes.
 
It was a very odd time indeed on here...

Never seen anything like it under any other manager

I don’t know how many times I asked for a poll but I’ll give the mods their props, they didn’t ban me, but I did get that tagline :lol:
 
Mine was him not being able to even face watching a penalty shootout. Against Grimsby....
A fecking long penalty shootout too! Spent 20 mins looking away after every player on the pitch stepped up to take a pen

Would be far more poignant if it was Kobbie. His omission was far more inexplicable.
It will be mildly interesting to see if there's many handshakes and hugs between Amorim and United players pre and post match. Considering it's only a friendly, you'd ordinary assume an ex-manager will have a warm embrace with the players he used to manage. But knowing what Amorim is like, he will be heading straight down the tunnel at full time.
 
Imagine... Rashford could walk up to him and say 'I won cnut!'. He didn't win really, but in comparison to Amorim?

Football eh?
 
Some of those warnings though :lol:

Utterly ridiculous :lol:

It was super weird how against a poll they were. There was a really weird defensive and protective nature around Amorim, which felt like it was becoming what we have laughed at for so many years on RAWK.

Up there with the Villarreal shootout. At least Villarreal were a decent team and Ole watched the pens :lol:
the streets wont forget that Grim day. it was his magnum opus of shit
I tried to be optimistic going into the season even though he should've probably gone after bottling the final to Spurs, but that game should've 100% been his last. It was crazy that he survived, and he may still have been here right now if he hadn't fell out with the powers that be.
 
Our players will all have an attack of PTSD when they see him on the sidelines... They'll all start playing out of position and will be waiting to be subbed out for a center back.
 
Please don't ban me for saying this but as a neutral it was hilarious to see a section of caftards defending Amorim, game after game. It was never his fault! Cherry on top was that loveletter written to Amorim after he was sacked. It was proper weird given he had no prior connection to the club, nor did he show much affection towards the club and the fans.

Wat inga for negativity are tricky and do look funny now, but...
Yea i got a ban just for calling him a cnut!
...calling people from the club cnuts and similar language will continue to receive warnings. That's a clear line.

For the rest, you can discuss the moderation in the Admin/Mod Help Forum, but not here please. This has been done a bunch of times already, so let's not clog up another Amorim thread with it. Time to get over that stuff.

Honestly the craziest thing I've seen and it goes to show you how easily people can be swayed by a cult of personality. You always hear about cult leaders and think how the feck are people following this guy, and it was weird to see real-time as that sort of thing went on.

It was as if he left us in a better position than when he took over. It was insanity

It is astonishing to see how easily it is for people to fall into the cult of personality though. I'm sure it must be funny for those who defended him to the last to see him saying the exact same things at Milan as he was saying here. Its actually hilarious that he hasn't changed his playbook whatsoever. I actually kinda respect that level of hard-hardedness.
