Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

I thought he was meant to be replacing Pep at City? That's why they got the Sporting Director from there too.

Shame if true, I was hoping they'd get someone terrible we could all laugh at
Plus Amorim is the latest "shiny toy" manager, young and unproven anywhere outside of Portugal.
 
As much as I love to see Man Utd struggle, even my schadenfreude threshold was being tested with Ten Haag in recent times.

The level of delusion was there was there for all to see and at the top level you have to be a touch deluded to get by but he was pushing it. It was from a while back but in a snippy interaction with a journo he asked "What problems there actually were with the team / set up", the journo responded with a concise itemized list of indisputable issues and Ten Haag's response was basically "Na na na naaa I can't hear you na na naaa naaa".

I'm uncomfortable with assistant managers taking over but especially with ones who were top players for that club, no doubt Van Nistelroy "gets" the club and understands the DNA of United as it that means anything given how good and way ahead the top clubs in the premier league are. I'd be worried if I was a Man Utd fan, many I know have just disconnected from football as it turns out they didn't love football, they just loved the feeling of winning. Despite their decline they did manage the FA cup against city so it hasn't even been that bad, but it's all perspective I guess.

They still are a disaster at all levels

- The supposed "football" people, the supposed adults are here, made the decision to extend ETH's contract in summer and back him with new signings
- It's not even 10 games in and you have to fire him (blind donkey knew that was coming), so now it's 13M+ payoff, plus additional 200M+ wasted on players, plus they have to pay a 10M+ release clause for Amorim
- Not to mention Amorim is a 3 at the back (only) coach, where are the WB players in that squad? do they have 3 decent CBs?

Example of a sunk cost fallacy. They had already spent a fortune getting in his players. Were hoping he'd come good. Plenty of examples of it in big business. Still utter stupidity though.
