  1. It was genuinely getting better and its a huge bummer than Amorim couldnt take us to the summer.

  2. It’s gona go up abit more, then drop heavily, then I feel it’ll steadily go back up…

  3. Honestly, I have no idea. The Amorim sacking kind of scrambled my perception of INEOS and their level of competence, as well as their general intentions.

    The Ashworth sacking was a bit of an alarm bell, but I wrote it off as just a mistake. The Amorim situation is a different can of worms.

    Do they just write that off like they did with Ashworth, and just hire another manager with a promise of a long project? (However little that promise is actualy worth). Or do they just improve the squad bit by bit and hire a manager that’s not gonna kick up a fuss, do what he’s told and hope it works out?

    I’m just not sure now. INEOS have become unpredictable for me. We’ll know more once we know who the permanent manager hire ends up being.

  4. well I remeber some guy here writing a few months ago that Amorim is unluckily the guy before the guy. He will go through all of the shit and fix a lot of it just so the one after him will profit when he inevitably still gets fired.
    Always hoped that wont turn out to be true but I always felt he could be right.
    Lets hope the second part turns out to be true as well at least, otherwise all this suffering was for nothing as it has been the past 12 years.
    I will never forgive the people responsible for not giving him until summer and throwing our season in the bin though

    If we lose European football again for a season or two I think we’re fucked but hopefully with continued recruitment and team cohesion we’ll still trend upwards.

    I truly believe if recruitment and team culture continues on our current trend we’ll raise the team’s floor regardless of the manager. A midfield revamp will have this teams potential in the top 4 and we won’t slip any lower than 8th barring any major injury crises, good development of our current CBs and recruitment at fullback in the 27 window and we’re hopefully challenging.

    I’m not trying to diminish Keith Andrews’ amazing accomplishments at Brentford but they’ve got smart, data driven recruitment and stick to their principles so they can lose players and still bounce back with an inexperienced manager.

    Amorim already suffered through the dip like we all did, and he was on the upturn. Now the next dip might be ever lower, that’s how a rebuild works. And INEOS already showed they can’t get through one.

  7. I’m tired.

    I just want them to back a manager for like 3 to 4 seasons and see where we end up.

    Still insane that ineos grinded through Amorim’s worst to sack him for hurting their feelings.

    He shouldn’t have even been allowed to start this season with us if they were going to sack him whilist we were improving.
