Gerrard did something similar with Rangers i believe taking them to the last 8 of the europa ( correct me if im wrong ) He won the league with Sporting, their first in 20 years. And Rangers got to last 16 only of Europa. Your logic makes no sense, Germany and France are one team leagues. You wouldn’t have managers from them?

I know it’s probably ignorance on my part but it seems a bit like an appointment Watford would make before sacking him 3 months later. it would be pretty exciting if it turned out he was absolutely amazing but it’s pretty high risk….

Gerrard did something similar with Rangers i believe taking them to the last 8 of the europa ( correct me if im wrong ) sporting were the rank outsiders in portugal. they hadn't won a title since 2002. literally only benfica and porto have won it since amorim upset the odds. and that was on the back of the club being in a deep financial crisis, losing key players for nothing and fans literally attacking players at the training ground. it was a two team league, and he went and won it anyway.

Ahhhhh, our fans No offence but I see stuff like this get posted all the time when people speak of any football outside of the Premier League and it's a bit silly. It's never been easier to be clued up on football from around the world, from watching it to reading it. Not saying that everyone has watched Sporting in forensic detail but Amorim has quickly built a good reputation in the game and lots of people are aware of it from all over Europe, hence why he's even being linked to the job in the first place.

Marka Ragnos Posted October 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2022 Can't believe anyone would seriously back Amorim -- he's even less experienced than Gerrard was when he came to Villa. Jesus, no. Why take that risk? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 If Dyche is part of the discussion I have no idea why Rodgers isn’t. He also has 5th place finishes under his belt and has actually won an FA Cup with Leicester. If he starts to fail after 3 successful seasons in charge I think I could just about cope with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, no. Why take that risk? I know absolutely nothing about the bloke so I’m not cheerleading, but sometimes class is obvious. Guys like Pep, Jose looked destined for the top early on. UTD paid £30m (a huge sum at the time) for an 18yr old kid from Everton. like I say, I know nothing about this bloke but the experience doesn’t bother me.

Your logic makes no sense, Germany and France are one team leagues. You wouldn’t have managers from them? McClaren won the league with Twente. DeBoer won the league with Ajax. Both wholly incompetent in the PL That’s not entirely accurate RE Germany and France. Sure, Bayern and PSG are the only ones who’ll win their respective leagues each year but that doesn’t mean the quality of the leagues are the same team for team. Third placed Leipzig or third placed Feyenoord. Marseille or Braga . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
