Sure, why not? Man United 14th-17th in the league? He'd have to go if they don't win a trophy. That's pathetic.

Hope I'm wrong and they lose both their remaining games and keep him, but can't see them being so stupid.

It is pathetic but the money they spent getting rid of Ten Haag and his team and then hiring Amorim, paying the compensation only to pot him after not even a full season, they’ve been awful under two highly regarded coaches that played brilliant football pre Man U. Where would they go after that?

Literally anyone who'd ever played Football Manager, seen a game of football or even had a vague understanding of the concept of feet could probably do better than having Man U just above the relegation zone.

😂. I might apply if there becomes a vacancy!

I think Spurs will pot Ange regardless, I think Yanited will keep Amorim regardless

I agree.

I also agree.

If there is one club that would get away with cheating us with a goal scored with fake hands, it'll be Man United. ☹️

On the plus side: If they do keep Amorim after the jammiest of cup wins - he's far more likely to stay on and complete the job of relegating the can'ts next year.

I think Man. United would totally implode over the summer if they miss out on CL.

The press would be hammering them every single day so Ratcliffe wouldn't be able to help himself and would probably give another toe curling interview sometime in June which would demotivate their staff and players even more.

Spurs in/out dosen't make much difference. They were in the CL when Unai took over and we've just finished above them for three successive seasons for probably the first time since the 90s?

Them getting CL would not change Levy's strategy one little bit.

Had forgotten about Ratcliffe. He's properly a genuinely, utterly awful ******. A thousand times worse than Levy. Another reason to support Slugs/Spurs.

I don't really care which of those two shit house clubs win unless there is a slant which impacts us, and there is

I'd rather play Man United without them having the boost of having won a European trophy a few days before. Therefore, I hope Spurs win.

Jesus Christ, sometimes I hate football.

Whoever wins the EL final, I expect us to the Champions League come Sunday night. I'll be very disappointed if we're not.

It's a kind of vile Hobsons choice.  But I kind of agree.  Plus, I've grudgingly come to quite like Ange, which is outrageous given my Spurs disposition.

I'd rather play a de-motivated Man Yoo so for that reason only I hope Spuds win.
Surely this is going to raise a debate about the whole idea of giving a CL berth to the winners of the Europa Cup? It's the worst case scenario for UEFA because they are going to have a team in the CL next season who finished 16th or 17th. It makes a mockery of the name of the competition.

It's no different to us being in it for finishing 4th and maybe 5th when it comes to the name. We'd also have a different view if we were 16th and in the final. I like that you move up a competition, it's just shit with who the finalists are but the idea is sound.

I would do unspeakable things for a Bournemouth win tonight.
