This sacking has neither been done in panic nor in cold heart but this was a calculation that was just adding numbers just waiting for the final number to be keyed in and it was keyed in yesterday.
I think he burnt all his goodwill by openly going against what Club had brought him in for. He was statistically the worst manager hire in our history, however he still had the goodwill and backing, but when he decided to rant against the Club not acknowledging the fact that they stood by him when he hasnt done anything to justify the faith, i think he was done. He was on borrowed time since end of last season to be honest.
Was sacking Amorim in mid-season actually worth it? Sure, the form hasn't been great, but they are still 6th in the league (higher then they were last season). By switching managers now, it is possible United loses whatever confidence they built up and may drop lower. It feels like they might be throwing away a decent season. They could just wait till summer because even a new manager needs time to settle and then the cycle continues where he will again under perform etc.. What are your thoughts?
I felt Amorim had set himself on path to get sacked a long time ago, but things started to become really obvious offlate. More we see this team play, more you realize that there was certain inflexibility in his approach that not only didn't adapt to the league but also to the abilities (or lack of) of the players. When he decided to publicly rant against the club, the writing was on the wall.
He deserved more time, but the controversial interview ruined everything.
