Ruben, it’s not you, its your workplace.

Us Hooligan’s and in particular the Qooligan and his salty ways agree that Ange Postecoglou will not see out the end of the season as the Spurs Manager.

So when you see Ange expressing his sympathies for Ruben you can not help but wonder, what the hell are we witnessing at Manchester United, and you have to ask the question will Ruben last?

One truly must extend the deepest sympathies to the man tasked with navigating the tempestuous seas of Manchester United.

Here’s the situation:

Trouble from the Top Down: Sir Jim Ratcliffe is making waves from the board room with a 25% stake and while he is launching very sexy Inios Grenadier cars, as well as spending over $1.6m a on a gin bar in his new Monaco penthouse (true fact), you can not help but feel there is a clear plan or harmony with the Glazer’s .
The Legend Factor: Imagine, if you will, the weight of history crashing down upon your shoulders. Every former player, every pundit who once graced the Old Trafford turf, now has an opinion, and they’re not afraid to share it. In fact, they seem to relish it. It’s a symphony of “back in my day” and “that’s not the United way,” a constant barrage of tactical critiques delivered with the gravitas of a Shakespearean soliloquy.
Tactical Turmoil: Amorim’s insistence on his system, while admirable, has apparently ruffled more than a few feathers. Especially when the results don’t materialise. Each loss is followed by a media frenzy, with former players dissecting every pass, every tackle, and every substitution with the precision of a surgeon. It seems that every former player has his own idea of how the team should play, and those ideas rarely align with the current manager’s.
The Pressure Cooker: To take over Manchester United is to enter a pressure cooker of epic proportions. The expectations are sky-high, the scrutiny is relentless, and the patience is wafer-thin. Add to that the cacophony of former players and pundits, and it’s a wonder Amorim can even hear himself think.

Therefore, one can not feel a degree of sorrow for Mr. Amorim. He is attempting to build something in an environment that is not set up to succeed. One can only hope that he has a very good therapist.
