Sporting are top of the league and on course to repeat that success with Amorim’s man-management and tactical acumen having helped out-manoeuvre Porto and Benfica. He is believed to have a release clause in his contract of up to £17 million.

 

 

 

 

 

Pay money for a manager shit.

 

I don't know much about this Amorim but a quick read of his wiki says he never talks about refs. I give him 12 months of Howard Webb and his crooked friends before he is compiling a dossier.

12 months? 12 games more like! 

[Jordy Brouwer]

So the source for the Times article is .... Liverpool? That's how I read it. 

[TheDrowningMan]

Amorim seems like the logical choice, then. I have reservations about him being able to make the step up to a club of our level, but he’s won titles as a player and manager at big clubs in Portugal, and hopefully that will stand him in good stead if appointed.
 

A journeyman like De Zerbi shouldn’t be anywhere near the job and would probably see Edwards and Hughes going the way of Comolli within eight months.

[Jordy Brouwer]

If we are talking Football manager their recent stingy increase for Quansah is a disgrace. Current ability up to 61. What the fuck? No increase to potential ability either. 

 

Also they raised Endo's current ability from 71 to a whopping 72. 

 

Shame on Sports Interactive!

We're getting Bellinghamed again aren't we.  And this time they don't even have a vacancy for a manager.

[JohnnyH]

Seems he’s staying at Leverkusen. I respect that. It’s a proper footballing decision. Good for him.

Yeah, it all looks like Alonso is waiting for the Madrid job to become available.

[Lee909]

Now for the final kick in the balls for us losing the Europa League final to them.

If true, the Liverpool job is available, it might not be again, and he's not interested. 

 

He's stalling for Madrid who might have a vacancy in 12 months.

 

Obviously none of this is set in stone yet, but if that's how it plays out, he's not for us. It's not Klopp like behaviour 

[Trojan1892]

West Ham will turn them over in the next round.

[an tha]

So Alonso is staying at Leverkusen as a story is basically coming from what that gobshite at Bayern Munich has said?

 

I wouldn't take too much notice of noise coming from Bayern Munich.

Their president is trying to unsettle Alonso as wants him and wants to try and derail Leverkusen's season as they are beating them hands down to the title.

He's been gobbing off for weeks with different stuff about Alonso - meanwhile LFC are saying nothing and acting professionally - we'll see come end of season.

Bayern look at themselves the way we look at ourselves when we're batting away rumours a player/manager would want to go elsewhere.

 

With all due respect, that's bollocks. 

 

Bayern are the Man United of Germany. Plus. Without the historical or contemporary competition.

 

They're possibly the most arrogant, entitled club in the world. The Yankees of "soccer." 

[Lee909]

25ml release clause for Amorin. 

Crazy money for a guy that achieved little outside of Portugal. His European record is nothing special 

[TheHowieLama]

It’s a proper footballing decision. Good for him.

That tends to be how Paul Joyce operates, hence his reliability.

I'm sure that means a lot to him.

I would, its not like Amorin has dominated Portugal or had much success in Europe.
