Amorim has gone
Terrible day for the club, they are a shambles. They knew what they were getting but failed him.

Red man, he failed us too.
05 Jan 2026 11:10:00
I feel the same Red Man. I think we have lost a diamond who was beginning to make things happen. Same old rinse and repeat. Utter shambles.

That’s the thing, while I don’t think Amorim was the right man it was those above who put him there. Berrada and Wilcox have been a shambles so I have zero trust in them. They kept eth then spent on his players only to sack him.
They fell out with ashworth after 3 months and got him sacked. They then hired RA knowing his philosophy and tactics and didn’t fully provide him the support. If anything this is more on them than the manager.

Working so can’t write essays however if you listened to Amorim and understood what it needs to change the ethos and workings within a business who have always done things a set way, you would more likely understand Amorim was the hope for a different future.
Now we have continuity Wilcox which is continuing a mess. They extended ETH at the wrong time yet didn’t support one of Europes brightest young managers.
I also think there is discord higher up as well. A model which has majority supposedly silent owners and active minority runners of part of the business who peskily may ask for money that could be distributed in dividends there is risk of issues.
Who knows but I am disgusted with the club having seen it unravel very quickly and it looks like over this window. No value in the market all over again and we know what drove that.

Red man, although much of that is true. I still think he was the wrong man for this job and his stats back that up. High level Football is about the here and now and he continually tried to put square pegs in round holes.
Whatever is wrong with upstairs, it becomes a lot easier to manage if the coach appointed is actually doing his job correctly and he wasn't.

Agree again RM. Utter shambles.
05 Jan 2026 10:08:26
There we go. Now let's see where we end up with this 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 or whatever it will be. If my heart weren't in it I would love to say I am done with this damn club now, but hey ho it just doesn't work that way. let's hope the club align on something and stick to it.
Thanks Ruben! You were wronged.
05 Jan 2026 10:58:39
He's been pretty crap since he took over. I don't think he has been wronged. He hasn't helped himself one bit, no sympathy.
05 Jan 2026 10:05:17
Well Ruben amorim has been sacked pretty much inevitable after yesterday's comments but really Jason Wilcox should be following him out the door for me.
