Portugese managers are very effective and some of the best coaches and tactics out there. It would be inspire benefit of Amorim who would bring a touch of intelligence and abilities to develop and have players performing as well as known how in the current sporting director set-up
He would work to a system and would set the team up accordingly.
I'm all for him.
Lets go Ruben

We're speaking to Amorim according to the Athletic. Sporting manager who's upcoming but highly rated

If were going to take another punt, at least do it with some fancy Portuguese bloke that plays sexy football. I'll settle for this.

Post match interviews with an interpreter. Very exotic.

If they appointed Dyche, that would be it for me, I'd find something else to waste all my time and emotion on.

Would be the ultimate sign we'd given up.
Yep there would be thousands taking a sabbatical.

Did Mick Beale turn down Wolves because someone here has given him a heads up?!

I have no idea whether he's any cop, but Amorim is interesting for two reasons: he might bring a load of Portuguese wonderkids in, and he's not Sean Dyche.

If we have truley sacked a manager after hes been on the brink for so long without having a decent replacement lined up then the hierarchy need to be taking some of the blame for this mess.

Also as I told you weeks ago Pocc wont come as we arent champions league, at the time I was told not too be too defeatist.

Actually signed this guy for Sporting Clube and getting some good form from him. One I thought we might've looked at under DS:

Does Mark Kelly still post on here in some incarnation as he'd provide some good insight on Amorim.

To quote Wiki fro his first season at Sporting:

"Despite their finish, Amorim managed to bring an recognisable identity that the club had previously been lacking"

My God, that almost makes me sad with longing.

Anorim has less reason to come than Poch, who, let's be fair, needs a very good run somewhere to build his reputation back up.

This is 100% on the hierarchy - its not Gerrards fault his shit - its the hierarchy fault for appointing someone untested at a point when we didn't need to

And the hierarchy's fault our recruitment has been awful

If that is true - that would be amazing. He was widely touted as a replacement for Pep at City. Highly rated.

Got knocked out of Europe by Steven fucking Gerrard!

That indiscretion aside, he does seem very highly rated so wouldn't mind this at all. He would cost a few quid, too (Sporting paid the third-largest compensation fee in history to get him from Braga), but I don't mind that as would allay the fears of some fans (okay, mainly Risso) that the money tap has been turned off.

This season his Sporting side outplayed and beat Conte’s Tottenham in the champions league.
I can't fantom why Wolves wouldn't be sniffing for him.
Lets get him in quick.

Yeah I’m not sure it’s as easy as all that
