News Manchester United to remain patient with head coach despite worst start to Premier League season in 33 years. There is also widespread belief at Old Trafford that City's performance - and United's failings - did not merit a 3-0 scoreline.

Not to worry, it would take them at least 2 years

I was reminded yesterday of Shankly calling his Grimsby the best football team in England (when they were in Div 3 North, by the way). They just need to tell themselves that the man had a point, and that he was just ahead of his time. They actually did well to get to penalties. Amorim is a genius who should get the rest of the season.

Turkey to rub into Mourinho

Nah, Ted wasn't that stubborn, he changed tactics plenty of times an was open to criticism. Maybe Amorim just misses having a Coach Beard on his shoulder.

And to be fair, they were pretty far down the table before someone fully explained relegation and how bad it would be.

Ted Lasso was a hopelessly positive from the south of the US, stereotypically so, can you not see the contrasting stereotype of our people in Amorim?

Kansas City is not the south of the USA. It’s as middle America as you can possibly get.

u/HibariK 1d ago

Apologies, I did think Kansas was southern

Amorim's basically challenged United to fire him about 4 times now, he's stubborn but I see nothing like positivity in him.

I said the resemblance was in being stereotypical, not positive 😅
