After the weekend’s farce, I’m pretty much convinced that Amorin will be going. If the November deadline is true, about the severance pay, then maybe after that, assuming the post November clauses aren’t any worse – and god knows, who’d be surprised.
When Amorin came in, I really wanted him to succeed, mainly because we needed stability after a decade or so of utter garbage at manager and exec level. And while as I’ve said before, I’m not totally against the 3-4-3, it has to be with the right players. If the players can’t do it, and there’s ample evidence they can’t, then surely the system has to change. Amorin’s record is terrible, no other conclusion is possible. After 30 odd matches, you’d know whether your changes are going to work. Clearly they don’t work as Amorin expects.
Either he has to change, or he has to be changed.
He has brought in a front 3 at 200 odd million. Whilst the team is not solely his making, you have to work with what you have. I think another manager would have got more out of the team before the last transfer window. Look how other managers are getting so much more out of far less expensive squads, at Palace, at Bournemouth, even at Sunderland. I think some of the players to go, had to go, in particular, Rashford and Sancho, so he’s done the right thing there, but I’m afraid the most important change, improvements to results, have failed to materialise, and he has had plenty enough time to generate an improvement there.
