Why would he be sad?! He still gets paid and a huge section of our fanbase and ex players get exactly what they wanted. He'll go on to coach some place else in the future, time will tell who has the last laugh
He was open from the start, he has his philosophies and his methods and you can take it or leave it. That's why INEOS hiring him and not giving him the players required for his system makes zero sense to me. They were either all in and behind the project or not, half committing was never going to work and they've now wasted yet another season and a huge chunk of cash.
The guy walking away with 10m always has the last laugh. I expect ineos realised that this wasn't working, planned to make a change end of season without spending in Jan, but amorim forced their hand.
Fair play to him. He wanted out and played a blinder. Omar, Jason and Vivell have a lot to answer for and must be held accountable.
You know, this may be hard to believe for people whoāve never has this kind of wealth, but thereās a certain pride and accomplishment motivated professionals feel that no amount of money can magically make certain people feel better or feel confident.
Make no mistake, even if Amorim was trying to find a way out of here (which I donāt deny), his ego is obviously bruised and while heās probably not severely depressed to the point heās not eating or sleeping, heās likely not actually smiling or laughing as OP and others seem to think because of the giant payoff he just received.
He can get that pride and accomplishment while employed at another club. Amorim is a good manager, and I'm sure he'll succeed elsewhere. Mourinho has made Ā£93M in termination fees while coaching the biggest clubs in the world. Amorim will succeed as well.
Manchester United is a zero risk job at this point. Candidates get paid huge amounts of money regardless of a lack of success, and canāt be individually blamed for poor results because of how many have tried and failed to restore the club.
Countless big name managers from around the world with wildly different philosophies all came and went, and now people are waking up to the fact that itās almost impossible after more than a decade of this.
What Iām really hoping happens now is that pundits and other media figures really bring into question what role the higher ups have to play in our shitty results more often, rather than pile driving on the manager/coach. We canāt have another short turnaround of the coaching squad again, the inconsistency is killing the team.
The so-called 'pundits' love manager turnover and turmoil. It gives them something to jabber about. Perhaps those players with an attachment to the club excepted, they'll generally be revelling in this. As with Maresca. Nuno on the line. They're a big part of why clubs don't have the sense to stick with managers for the 3+ years they need to change things. The odd successful exception, with Liverpool and perhaps Arsenal, moving forward. City excluded, due to a bank account the size of Jupiter and Pep's undeniable effectiveness, if only with loaded squads.
You sound relatively naive if you expected this, because corporately owned media in general (and pundits working for them) practically never go after billionaires and oligarchs. Instead, itās (almost) always the easy targets, in this case managers/coaches and players.
It will likely be the cycle repeating itself with a new manager and his coaching team for 1-3 years and when he goes on a bad run and fans/media pile on him, rinse and repeat.
I donāt think it will happen, theyāre already going with the results and formation narrative, MU already spinning it.. Iāve mainly seen independents or youtubers talking about Wilcox and Vivellās role in this mess
I agree with 99% of your comment, but donāt let the echo chamber of Reddit/social media fool you: most United fans out in the real world (even the ones who occasionally/semi-regularly boo the players off the field) were behind/tolerant of Amorim as our head coach/manager and certainly not as passionate/aggressive as a lot of the vocal minority on here.
I think Amorim will be successful in other club. He reminds me of Kompany who has a strong principle on how his team will play, either losing or winning.
The club just canāt support him to rebuild the team as he wants since theyāre ābankruptā due to paying the cost of bad decisions in the past.
Iāll be honest. Heās the one manager I would probably root for against United. Cant believe he didnāt even get one full season while in 6th place.
Exactly! The funniest part is INEOS backed him last season, when sacking him wouldāve made the most sense for them (not that I wouldāve agreed). But instead, they sack him when our best and most in form players are either injured or on Int. duty, got rid of deadwood players and had the guts to play his own style and drop players despite pressure from both fans and pundits. All whilst sixth in the leagueā¦ 3 points behind the defending champions!
Good luck to him. He did the heart opening surgery for us, cleaned out the most toxic bomb squad, huge improvement in xG, sitting 3 points off 4th spot with a thin squad after 1 transfer window. Instead of backing him to push for CL, the board threw 1.5 years away because of their ego and we are back to square one.
Most of our fanbase don't realise these very obvious aspects of Amorims tenure. Thanks for saying this as a lot of our own fans don't have the cognitive ability to realise this themselves.
Fuck yes man. If they want to sack him due to results, should have done it in the summer or November. This is not about the result but due to fragile egos of the billionaires
Weāre not back to square one. We still got rid of the bomb squad and brought some better players in, which the new manager will benefit greatly from. And in the upside, maybe the new manager knows Ā how to win back to back games.Ā
So you think that there is no chance or another bomb squad appearing after the next manager comes around? Because every time a new manager comes there are always unhappy players and making a fuss...
Good for him. They brought him in for his style and vision and promised him time and money to implement it. They didnāt give him enough of either, complained that his style was the problem and let the media eat him alive with no show of support. Hope he enjoys the payout.
Id definitely wouldnt look sad if I just got away from the shithole we are , we are doomed to be mediocre for a long time shown by the fragile ego of the board
I still can't believe the board follows the worst pundit in this world and then goes to the manager to change the tactics lol and some fans applaud this clown show lmao
Imagine your job depending on fucking Gary Neville liking you š united can't be a serious club
He was dealt a worse hand than Amorim at Valencia and the results are eerily similar. Yet Neville's time there is a meme. Fair is fair, Amorim should be considered the same.
He was committed to see his job through and was fired for sticking to his principles, the ones he was hired for, and leaves with a full bag. Nothing to be sad about on his side.
I dunno. Obviously he won't be wondering where his next meal
Is. But he put a lot into this job to then get treated the way he did. Hope he goes on to become a world class manager and doesn't remember us too bitterly.
This is one of the very few times feel that Ruben was hard done by the Board.
To those quoting his win percentages, he did not inherit a top 4 squad, he was thrown in the mix with a game every 3 days in possibly the worst man united squad. He didnāt even get a season to prove the doubters wrong.
How many of you also think, The team effectively progresses with Darren Fletcher and a new manager in a World Cup year over just keeping Amorim.
There is no Manchester United way, weāve been shit for well over a decade, he made real progress and was heading for a top 4 finish.
You get to play 4 at the back? Congratulations š„
It's a relief for him.. He knew for months thst he made a mistake by coming to United. I don't know why would any serious manager take a call from Man United. Shit hole..
Thatās the smile of a man whoās gonna get millions of pounds in return for not having to watch our games anymore. Iām not surprised heās fucking pleased.Ā
Itās a mess. Either you back the managerās methods from the start or you donāt. Midfield has been crying for ages for a proper midfielder and these guys are sat on their asses doing nothing. I fear if Bruno leaves in summer then that is it. It will be a long road back to top 4 (and thatās a big if)
Man! I was depressed yesterday after the news of his sacking.
Today I am happy that he has got a big fat paycheck and he will probably give his family the new year's vacation.
He's still young and will achieve great things in the future but this club will go down the drain.
Why would he be sad to be safely out of Sir Jimās binfire of a team culture? Team Sky all over again. Living proof that running a major business and running a major football club are not the same skill set.
I need to find a job where I can sign a 3-year contract, fail to meet expectations & then get fired while still being paid out the rest of that contract.
Ineos thought that Amorim would grind out a European spot and that would soften the financial blow from this project.
I love that Ruben stood by his principles and exposed nobodies like Wilcox and Berrada. Now the pressure is on and no manager, player or executive will be given time. It doesn't matter if you are Mainoo or Sesko or Wilcox, win matches or get out
He played a blinder, knowing full well, either way he's gonna get paid out.
This is on SJR, Wilcox and Berrada for appointing him knowing he's always played 3 at the back.
These players haven't played this formation before, somewhere down the line this was going to happen, his win ratio didn't help Reuben either, it's a ruthless industry.
He exposed the board and get tossed out, why would he be sad?
The management knew who they were hiring, they knew he had a philosophy and a system, and that he wanted to have control over the team... They should pay him everything down to the last pound. Once again, this just shows how ridiculous the management of this club is. I hope that in the immediate future, no decent coach wants to deal with this and ruin their career.
Are people expecting him to cry or something? Walks away with a severance package most of us could only dream of. Looks like he wanted out too - no wonder heās smiling
It's honestly wild that they hired a manager known for a specific system and then didn't back him with the players for it. The squad is clearly better than when he arrived, and now we're just resetting the clock again. He'll be absolutely fine, but the club has wasted everyone's time. At least he gets to go enjoy the sun now.
Yep, a squad who've proven they can't or won't adapt to much of anything new managers ask of them and then turn out consistent performances up to an acceptable 'Manchester United' standard.
And it can't just be him cos they wouldn't do it for any of the previous lot we've tried either.
Wasters who aren't good enough, too many of em and as big a drag on the club as the owners recently. Cos for as terrible as the glazers are (& I quit in 05 after 30yrs, so I don't say this lightly) at least they're consummate professionals at making money. Our lot on the pitch haven't been consummate anything for years, even with the odd cup run. Football has evolved and developed and we're still stuck crying "we can't play Nu-Football. can it just be vanilla coaching please."
It was never ever gonna take one person and one transfer window to turn this zombie-club, stuck stumbling from one mess to another, around.
Maybe the mgmt crippled his team building plans.
His game worked sometimes and didn't sometimes ... felt like it couldn't gain momentum.
There was hope but yeah ... it is what it is.
Felt like he's had enough of the shid.
Complete Turmoil again.
Anyway ... let's move on to Fletcher ... heard he's done good things at the under 18s but maybe too sudden to switch to 1st team?
I don't think he's sad. A lot of responsibility has been lifted from him though. And the thing is, I can't be mad at him for smiling through it cause the media will turn around the narrative anyway.
But he does look genuinely happy and I'm happy for whatever comes next.
bro gets a massive payout and misses out on all the headache that comes with managing united. This is probably one of the happiest days he's had in a while
Why would he look sad? Heās gotten himself away from the INEOS clown show. Heās probably just getting back from a celebration party š š„³ š š
They should have listened to ashworth , he insisted not to bring amorim from the beginning. I still think united should work as a team to regain what they lost instead of just bringing big egos and Make them decide the fate
It hurt to see him leave Buh I just pray Bruno doesnāt leave too since he is the only player who motivates me to sit my ass down and watch them play again
Why would any manager be sad with getting sacked these days.... all get bumper pay outs! Football isn't about the bedge you wear anymore, it's just about money!
Ā£10m pay off and a flight back to a hot country. Sign me up. Even if I was in a job I absolutely loved if I get paid Ā£100k or more to leave I'm smiling and dapping up the paparazzi also.
A staged photo near his home. Jesus Christ some people are thick. I'm pretty sure from a professional point of view that he's gutted he couldn't make it work. I'm also pretty sure he wasn't grinning like the Cheshire cat the moment he got the bullet.
he's still a hot new manager, burned by Manchester United's mess(press will say) he'll be plucked by somebody at the start of the season, maybe in Italy, he'd wreck the league with his tactics there
What might be interesting is if all of the former pros and knowledgeable pundits fronted up and each recommended a replacement. Then sack whoever got it wrong.
A variety of these players have failed under multiple managers playing in multiple different systems. Funny seeing people think that all of a sudden things will change too. Based on what exactly?
He's probably happy to be away from THEM as much as anything.
ManU are the pressure cooker of the premier league. I am glad the manager has managed to get out still with his sanity intact...and an extra Ā£14m! And the worst stats for any manager since Ferguson retired. Bit of a mixed bag really.
Hes going home to sunny Portugal with 12m quid in his pocket and doesnt have to deal with the United shitshow and a total non-entity like Jason Wilcox telling him what to do.
Why would he be sad?! He still gets paid and a huge section of our fanbase and ex players get exactly what they wanted. He'll go on to coach some place else in the future, time will tell who has the last laugh
He was open from the start, he has his philosophies and his methods and you can take it or leave it. That's why INEOS hiring him and not giving him the players required for his system makes zero sense to me.

Fair play to him. He wanted out and played a blinder. Omar, Jason and Vivell have a lot to answer for and must be held accountable.
They created this mess (mainly Omar tbh).
Yeah they made the call early
Wilcox perhaps is the man in the target next?
Wilcox shouldāve been saved with Amorim. Heās the main culprit of this mess, heās the director of bloody football ffs.
Might not be a bad shout actually
yeah well ... the management isn't sure what the hell they are doing?
You know, this may be hard to believe for people whoāve never has this kind of wealth, but thereās a certain pride and accomplishment motivated professionals feel that no amount of money can magically make certain people feel better or feel confident.
Make no mistake, even if Amorim was trying to find a way out of here (which I donāt deny), his ego is obviously bruised and while heās probably not severely depressed to the point heās not eating or sleeping, heās likely not actually smiling or laughing as OP and others seem to think because of the giant payoff he just received.

He tried his best to save our dog shit team why wouldnāt he leave with his head held high

Countless big name managers from around the world with wildly different philosophies all came and went, and now people are waking up to the fact that itās almost impossible after more than a decade of this.
Cant blame him at all

Iāll be honest. Heās the one manager I would probably root for against United. Cant believe he didnāt even get one full season while in 6th place.
Rough but yeah he deserved more time
Sorry what?
I've never heard such lunacy and to see it well upvoted? Unbelievable

10 million reasons to smileā¦
I think heās going to be the only manager to get sacked by us and immediately thrive.
This x 1000000
I don't know who will have the last laugh but pretty sure that Dan Ashworth is having a good laugh about the situation.
Absolutely stole a living.
Still got that winner mentality
Exactly! The funniest part is INEOS backed him last season, when sacking him wouldāve made the most sense for them (not that I wouldāve agreed). But instead, they sack him when our best and most in form players are either injured or on Int. duty, got rid of deadwood players and had the guts to play his own style and drop players despite pressure from both fans and pundits. All whilst sixth in the leagueā¦ 3 points behind the defending champions!
Trust me heāll have the last laugh
He looks like every person leaving Manchester for Portugal.
Yeah.. if I was leaving Manchester for Portugal I'd have that smile too.
And if I was 10Mā¬ richer while leaving my smile would be even bigger.
Hope bruno have that day,they dont deserve him.
Yeah I hope he wins big titles elsewhere. It's not happening here anytime soon
Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!!!
Good luck to him. He did the heart opening surgery for us, cleaned out the most toxic bomb squad, huge improvement in xG, sitting 3 points off 4th spot with a thin squad after 1 transfer window. Instead of backing him to push for CL, the board threw 1.5 years away because of their ego and we are back to square one.
Most of our fanbase don't realise these very obvious aspects of Amorims tenure. Thanks for saying this as a lot of our own fans don't have the cognitive ability to realise this themselves.
agree he actually did quite a bit to remodel the squad
Yes, thank you for putting this into words. This should be the top comment.
Yeah this seems obvious. I could actually start to see it coming together and THIS is the time they sack him? He did the dirty work
Fuck yes man. If they want to sack him due to results, should have done it in the summer or November. This is not about the result but due to fragile egos of the billionaires
think he's had enough of the shid from the hierachy.
Worst of this, he did the hard work, got rid of the bad apples, and now the next one will get the credit just cause they will be playing with back 4
Couldnāt agree more
Weāre not back to square one. We still got rid of the bomb squad and brought some better players in, which the new manager will benefit greatly from. And in the upside, maybe the new manager knows Ā how to win back to back games.Ā
Do you expect us to be top 4? Either way, we are 3 points away. So you agree Amorim is making huge progress or not? Make up your mind.
So you think that there is no chance or another bomb squad appearing after the next manager comes around? Because every time a new manager comes there are always unhappy players and making a fuss...
Yeah but places 6 thru like 16th are one to a few points off 4th
But we are not 16th and this was not the reason Amorim got sacked yesterday
Going to have to be a really convincing next few games for me to be able to get behind this decision.
The positive trends you've laid out would likely only have gotten better with time, backing, and more seasons, but now we'll never know. Irks me.
Good for him. They brought him in for his style and vision and promised him time and money to implement it. They didnāt give him enough of either, complained that his style was the problem and let the media eat him alive with no show of support. Hope he enjoys the payout.
Yup they made their own bed
At least onana was removed and Maguire improved.
Id definitely wouldnt look sad if I just got away from the shithole we are , we are doomed to be mediocre for a long time shown by the fragile ego of the board
Why would he be sad he just got paid 15 million
10m of it not to work
Best severance package ever. Living the dream
Jimbo Fisher got $76.8m after Texas A&M fired him. His name is still Jimbo though so not exactly the dream.
He got paid millions to publicly slag his bosses off!
Exactly. Man won the lottery getting sacked
Now see my face iām sure as hell alot more upset
š
Remember, when Ruben left his house today he had more money and the only person that would be able to nag at him would be his wife.
The alternative was him having to be coaching players while having Wilcox nagging him that Neville said they should play 4 in the back.
Wouldn't you also be happy?
I still can't believe the board follows the worst pundit in this world and then goes to the manager to change the tactics lol and some fans applaud this clown show lmao
Imagine your job depending on fucking Gary Neville liking you š united can't be a serious club
He was dealt a worse hand than Amorim at Valencia and the results are eerily similar. Yet Neville's time there is a meme. Fair is fair, Amorim should be considered the same.
He was committed to see his job through and was fired for sticking to his principles, the ones he was hired for, and leaves with a full bag. Nothing to be sad about on his side.
He's actually really hurt by the whole process.
Maybe but the payout definitely helps ease the pain
I dunno. Obviously he won't be wondering where his next meal Is. But he put a lot into this job to then get treated the way he did. Hope he goes on to become a world class manager and doesn't remember us too bitterly.
He's going to get applauded at old Trafford whenever he makes his next appearance
Heāll be making that appearance for City as Pepās replacement. Just got a strong feeling about it.
that would be the knife if he wins the EPL with City
City should actually do it to show how rubbish the club is currently run
Exactly! United just gifted Amorim to City and Hugo Viana
Is he suffering?
Apparently he is suffering more than anyone
Bro looks relieved. Club is broken.
This is one of the very few times feel that Ruben was hard done by the Board. To those quoting his win percentages, he did not inherit a top 4 squad, he was thrown in the mix with a game every 3 days in possibly the worst man united squad.

He looks great fair play to him and all the best.
Whereās his sack with the 10 million?
It's a relief for him.. He knew for months thst he made a mistake by coming to United. I don't know why would any serious manager take a call from Man United. Shit hole..
Money money money and more money š«°š»š¤š»
That's what having a huge weight lifted off you and knowing you have Ā£12mil in your account looks like.
He got fed up with the job, sad a few words and got paid Ā£10m to take a holiday. No stress and he will get another job, if he wants to.
Looks like someone that knows he was right and the imbeciles he was working for continue to work together to dig their own grave.
Hes in a win win win situation
Thatās the smile of a man whoās gonna get millions of pounds in return for not having to watch our games anymore. Iām not surprised heās fucking pleased.Ā
Heāll be coaching in champions league games before Man U.
He's looking like a million bucks!
Ā£15million!
Itās a mess. Either you back the managerās methods from the start or you donāt. Midfield has been crying for ages for a proper midfielder and these guys are sat on their asses doing nothing. I fear if Bruno leaves in summer then that is it. It will be a long road back to top 4 (and thatās a big if)
Now other clubs have realized itās not managers but United so he will get a shot at another respectable club soon enough.
With 10 million in my pockets, I wouldn't be sad, either.
Heās laughing his way to the bank. Iād be the same too
Man! I was depressed yesterday after the news of his sacking. Today I am happy that he has got a big fat paycheck and he will probably give his family the new year's vacation. He's still young and will achieve great things in the future but this club will go down the drain.
Why would he be sad to be safely out of Sir Jimās binfire of a team culture? Team Sky all over again. Living proof that running a major business and running a major football club are not the same skill set.

I bet they're hype to get out of Manchester's shit weather
I need to find a job where I can sign a 3-year contract, fail to meet expectations & then get fired while still being paid out the rest of that contract.
I wouldn't be looking too sad either.
Ineos thought that Amorim would grind out a European spot and that would soften the financial blow from this project.

Good luck to him wherever he ends up next.
Can't blame him - everybody smiles after leaving this toxic club which is rotten to the core (including the fan base mind).
Heās free
What if he go to city after pep leave and start killing us
Vibes!
Looks like a man ready to start a holiday
he has been relieved for sure
He exposed the board and get tossed out, why would he be sad?
The management knew who they were hiring, they knew he had a philosophy and a system, and that he wanted to have control over the team... They should pay him everything down to the last pound. Once again, this just shows how ridiculous the management of this club is. I hope that in the immediate future, no decent coach wants to deal with this and ruin their career.
Happiest heās looked in months
Are people expecting him to cry or something? Walks away with a severance package most of us could only dream of. Looks like he wanted out too - no wonder heās smiling
It's honestly wild that they hired a manager known for a specific system and then didn't back him with the players for it. The squad is clearly better than when he arrived, and now we're just resetting the clock again. He'll be absolutely fine, but the club has wasted everyone's time. At least he gets to go enjoy the sun now.
we will regret this decision
Life is always better when you leave the theatre of dreams. Been the case for the past 15years.
he is stressless and still getting paid. best moment ever.
Good luck ruben anywhere you go
Why should he be sad? The cancer was never him. It is the ownership and the petulant little kids in the dressing room.
Yep, a squad who've proven they can't or won't adapt to much of anything new managers ask of them and then turn out consistent performances up to an acceptable 'Manchester United' standard.
And it can't just be him cos they wouldn't do it for any of the previous lot we've tried either.
Wasters who aren't good enough, too many of em and as big a drag on the club as the owners recently. Cos for as terrible as the glazers are (& I quit in 05 after 30yrs, so I don't say this lightly) at least they're consummate professionals at making money.

It was never ever gonna take one person and one transfer window to turn this zombie-club, stuck stumbling from one mess to another, around.
If I was given 10 million pounds not to work, I too would whip out the shades and smile everywhere I went.
No, but it looks like someone who left with some dignity. Good on him.
Proper United legend
Itās a photo from Christmas
he is sure sad . but feel free .. betrayed by the board who promised him to be the manager just for them to force him into YES man a coach
Itās going to be so embarrassing when he goes City at the end of the season to replace Pep and absolutely tears it up.
Hugo Viana was the football director at Sporting CP when Amorim was at Sporting CP.
Hugo left Sporting CP to go City 2 weeks before Amorim left Sporting to go to United.
As a Sporting CP fan, it would be funny if Amorim joined City and Hugo Viana now and both working together achieved greatness there too.
Too good for modern united. We are destined to toil in mediocrity.
Why would he be sad though?
Maybe the mgmt crippled his team building plans.
His game worked sometimes and didn't sometimes ... felt like it couldn't gain momentum.
There was hope but yeah ... it is what it is.
Felt like he's had enough of the shid.
Complete Turmoil again.
Anyway ... let's move on to Fletcher ... heard he's done good things at the under 18s but maybe too sudden to switch to 1st team?
Happy 41st on the 27th Amorim! Enjoy your 10 mil
Check still cleared.
He's richer than all of us at the moment š
It looks like somebody with 10 million to spare..
Im glad he's happy. Our club is a basket case
Why should he be?
I don't think he's sad. A lot of responsibility has been lifted from him though. And the thing is, I can't be mad at him for smiling through it cause the media will turn around the narrative anyway.
But he does look genuinely happy and I'm happy for whatever comes next.
Wearing his favorite silk shirt for the occasion. Doesnāt have to wear the Man U Sherman threads any longer.
I don't expect him to sulk hours after he was sacked.
well he pretty much made sure he got sacked š
Commentators, Redditers etc all saying he picked a fight he couldnāt win. He forced them to give him what he wanted - sweet freedom and Ā£10m
Age 40 and worth like 70m no he's not
bro gets a massive payout and misses out on all the headache that comes with managing united. This is probably one of the happiest days he's had in a while
This club is a disaster
Would you be sad if you just got 10M and not having to be a human shield for Wilcox and his face that is too big for his head?
He looks relieved.
Why would he look sad? Heās gotten himself away from the INEOS clown show. Heās probably just getting back from a celebration party š š„³ š š
so, DAN ASHWORTH was right !
Smiling all the way to the bank ā¦
They should have listened to ashworth , he insisted not to bring amorim from the beginning. I still think united should work as a team to regain what they lost instead of just bringing big egos and Make them decide the fate
In those last couple of press conferences, you could tell he had enough and wanted out. By slating the hierarchy, he knew that could be the way out
He should be
Looks like someone who just got a massive pay-off.
All those lay offs, no free coach rides for the staff to watch the final and ownership just make poor decision after poor decision #glazersout
It hurt to see him leave Buh I just pray Bruno doesnāt leave too since he is the only player who motivates me to sit my ass down and watch them play again
15m payout does that
If I got fired and somebody gave me 10 mio pounds, I would be dancing away
Why would any manager be sad with getting sacked these days.... all get bumper pay outs! Football isn't about the bedge you wear anymore, it's just about money!
Why would he be heās a multi millionaire š¤š¤
Heās rejoining the managerial money magic roundabout with 10 million in his back pocket. Soon to pop up somewhere else if he can be arsed.
He still gets a lot of money. I wouldnāt be said. Thatās business.
Heās just been paid Ā£10 million: Iād be on my retirement
Sir Alex and David Gill, What a perfect duo we used to have.
Lowkey wanted him to succeed! It's jus messed up, I wish Wilcox and Berrada also gets fired! Idiots making wrong decisions!
Should fire them first!
Is he supposed to be sad?
Looks like a man recently released from prison, with the weight of the world off his shoulders.
He just got 12 mil on a plate, why would he be sad
Looks like he was on da gear last night celebrating not having to be miserable or no more 10 year aging in 1 year
Bonkers money men know nothing about football ruin of the clubā¦..
This guy is mostly happy , but remember it's possible he forced a smile just for the camera. Like not to feel embarrassed.
He's off to Gregg's for a hot drink and a breakfast roll. Of course he's smiling.
Probably glad to be away from the mad house
Ā£10m pay off and a flight back to a hot country. Sign me up. Even if I was in a job I absolutely loved if I get paid Ā£100k or more to leave I'm smiling and dapping up the paparazzi also.
If you were terrible at your job, got sacked and compensated with Ā£10m, wouldnāt you smile too?
A staged photo near his home. Jesus Christ some people are thick. I'm pretty sure from a professional point of view that he's gutted he couldn't make it work. I'm also pretty sure he wasn't grinning like the Cheshire cat the moment he got the bullet.
He knows he lost nothing if we're being real
he's still a hot new manager, burned by Manchester United's mess(press will say) he'll be plucked by somebody at the start of the season, maybe in Italy, he'd wreck the league with his tactics there
Nice jacket. Anyone know the brand ? Price ?
Moncler. No idea on price, exactly, but assume $2k+ USD.
Relieved maybeā¦
I mean heās probably relieved. Mans been miserable pretty much since he joined United.
I mean I think Iād be happy to be out of a club which is a mess and also making Ā£10 mill pay off helps.
Gets out of doing a difficult job and gets compo
What might be interesting is if all of the former pros and knowledgeable pundits fronted up and each recommended a replacement. Then sack whoever got it wrong.
New album Bout to drop š„
8 mil cash hitting his bank next week š¤£
It shows that he's the tendered the resignation
Yes.
tbh, he was asking for it from a very very long time.Ā
The only sad people in Manchester are the ones who sell wet look gel!
Heās overcompensating, trying too hard to show that heās not upset
Ā£17m in the bank, Loving life
Who can blame him?
A variety of these players have failed under multiple managers playing in multiple different systems. Funny seeing people think that all of a sudden things will change too. Based on what exactly?
He's probably happy to be away from THEM as much as anything.
He's getting paid to NOT WORK. Why would t he be?
Heās laughing all the way to the bank
Ringo Starr?
Yes
Minted
Athletic reporting that he asked to leave United and went as far as saying he'd call his agent on his last convo with Wilcox.
Man left on his own terms.
ManU are the pressure cooker of the premier league. I am glad the manager has managed to get out still with his sanity intact...and an extra Ā£14m! And the worst stats for any manager since Ferguson retired. Bit of a mixed bag really.
I would be sad for not winning a trophy at a huge club
$30 mil richer and doesnāt have to deal with anyoneās shit. Def not sad.
Sad heās set for life ! He just won the lottery
Hes going home to sunny Portugal with 12m quid in his pocket and doesnt have to deal with the United shitshow and a total non-entity like Jason Wilcox telling him what to do.
Why would he be sad?
