You don't know much about the situation then as to why he was 'hounded out'. 

You just didn't like him from day one. 

[Stan]

Man Utd are lucky that clubs like us, Everton, Ipswich & Southampton exist this season.

Proper relegation form they're showing, but they're fortunate there are worse clubs around.

For a bloody reason .

I'd like to think I was proven right to an extent given he didn't win many games, had us playing horrible football, alienated good & experienced players, played players out of position, signed some absolute duds and had us in a downward trajectory.

But yeah, I'm absolutely wounded you don't have any sympathy for us. 

[Dave]

Seven games without a win for the Tesco Carrier Bags.

Mental they get a free pass from the media because they're such a small club.

Mate you didn't want him because he came from forest. You have a championship squad. You weren't in the relegation zone but you still wanted to sack him. Leicester use to be a likeable club. But their fans have become so deluded.

100% agree.

[Whiskey]

100% agree.

It does feel like one of those seasons like Tuchel's last season at Chelsea where a rich club absolutely pushes the limit of how close they can get to relegation.

But, unfortunately, to some degree sheer financial muscle can brute force a club into mid-table, even when everything else is operating at relegation standard

I couldn't give a shit that he came from Forest. Not the first time I've said that to you but you clearly don't read what I say so no point in debating anything with you. 

He's a shit manager. He wasn't right for us from the start. But according to you I'm meant to back him 100% from the start. And apparently that makes me deluded. 

I'm willing to bet you didn't even watch many of his games with us so apologies but your opinion means fuck all to me. 

Just because we weren't in the relegation zone doesn't mean it wasn't the right decision to sack him. Something had to be done otherwise we would have ended up in the relegation zone anyway.

What a performance and it's the 4th game in a row where we scored early and set the tempo,  get teams coming out at us to hit them on the counter attack.

When are missing Schar for Spurs,  Kelly will come in and he has to improve as he has been absolute dogshit since joining.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Amorim’s an idiot btw.

Midfield 2 of Eriksen and Casemiro against that midfield 3 Newcastle have is wildly incompetent.

Love to see it. Hope he sticks with that 343 shite next week.

Liverpool sitting nice and pretty at the top,   it's looking nice and easy like the covid season

[LFCMike]

Mad to think Chelsea could have gone ahead of us before we played Spurs and now they're 10 points behind. A reminder of how quickly things can change I suppose. 

[Rick]

Amorim obviously gets time because of the shitshow he has inherited, but fuck me that midfield two from him last night was a disgrace. Has he done any research on Newcastle or his own players?

I do wonder what United fans' reaction to Amorim admitting that a relegation battle is a possibility. It's not something that he should be doing publicly I don't think. I remember Roy Hodgson doing similar here and he got absolute pelters for it.

Liverpool are the only team with no weaknesses,   the others all have issues that will see them drop more points than Liverpool;

Chelsea: to many draws and losses to lower end of the table teams

Arsenal: Not enough goals

Man City: Cooked

Spurs and Man United: Left the chat.

Villa: to stretched

Newcastle: Not enough depth in quality

Forest: doing well,  but not expected to challenge Liverpool. 

Im not sure what the most one sided prem season was but this could be one of them. 

[RandoEFC+]

Arsenal have a puncher's chance in my opinion. They probably need to win at Anfield and hope some sort of injury crisis unsettles Liverpool but it's not finished yet. 

The wins are coming easier for Liverpool though simply due to how many more goals they're scoring than Arsenal. I'd call it a tricky but not horrendous run they have to survive while Saka is unavailable.

Chelsea were never realistically in the mix and City haven't been a factor for a long time.

[Dave]

There is something fundamentally wrong at Manchester United. Once they get rid of a cast of problem players it seems like they're replaced by the players who the fans wanted the club to be built around before. I look at Garnacho now, a player everybody wanted to see start last season, and i can already traits of him that indicate he will follow Rashford in the next wave as Rashford did with Ronaldo.

I'm surprised by how wrong Ineos have got everything so far. They were "replacing" The Glaziers, and they have somehow shown themselves to have more disdain towards the everyday staff, fan base and local community that The Glaziers did. Some feat given it was such an easy win. As for the on the pitch matters I don't think the recruitment has been terrible, I quite like the defensive additions, but the handling of ETH and Ashworth has been absolutely comical.

I don't know what can be done to turn the ship now. It looked like Ole was doing it, and then Bacon Face demanded they beat Man City to sign Cristiano Ronaldo and his death warrant was signed. A good start i guess would be not to answer Offshore Jim's zoom calls from his tax-free island whilst everybody's in the office and have a small team on the same wavelength as Amorin to figure out who needs to leave over the next 18 months so they can be in a position to push for Champions League football again.

@Stan I don't believe you for a second that you or other Leicester fans didn't want him because. Leicester are a newly promoted side. Cooper is a lower premier league manager. He's about your level. You just think you should be getting a better manager because your deluded and you think you are a bigger club than you are. You wanted to get rid of Rodgers when you finished 8th in the league. Leicester are some of the most deluded fans in the league

I think the problem with Arsenal getting over the line the previous 2 seasons, may have been experience? I could be wrong, but do they have any players who have been there and done it, during the pressure of close title fights?

Cooper is an awful manager. He was rubbish at Forest as well when it came to competing at this level. Any club with any ambition of staying in the top flight shouldn't even be considering a manager of his quality. It isn’t about club size or delusion. By all accounts, Leicester were expecting a points deduction that would have killed them anyway so they employed the Poundland option in Cooper thinking the season is a write off but he might do a decent job of bringing us back up next season.

[OrangeKhrush]

the difference in the the teams is depth of quality when it comes to getting goals.  Liverpool have so many more options than Arsenal do.   If Arsenal spunked out 120m on a striker with guaranteed goals,  they would be very much in it.   Right now they are trying to limit any damage while Saka is out,   while Liverpool are made of goals.

Again, you go on about stuff you don't know much about. 

Pointless arguing or speaking with you if that's your take on why we sacked Rodgers. Let alone other stuff you spout.

He kept forest up in his first season and Leicester weren't in the relegation zone.
