Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

@Victoria59L What if you learned that the Liberals and CPC are actually the same?
They serve the same masters in parliament (the corporations) and publicly say the things they know the brain-dead reactionaries (you) will pitch a fit about.
And look, it works every time!
@antikommunistic Nonsense. The Western anti-communist narrative is based entirely on lies. So much of what the Western propaganda wants you to believe about communism was inflicted by the West.
Communism defeated Nazism and the US brought it back and imposed its fascist imperialism on the world.
@stephen_taylor He got rid of an authoritarian while also killing the potential new regime leaders, but this will go from the Iranian people celebrating the end of the Ayatollah and his reign of terror to defending Iran itself from American and Israeli interference.
The people won't get a say.
@UtdLifers@GNev2 Because he works with them.
This is a different Gary Neville than the Manchester United servant who won everything while hating Scousers...
This is a corporate sellout who doesn't actually care for the football club in the way he did before he became a club owner himself.
@B0Y_chester_UTD The players liked Amorim, for the most part. Progress had started, but Ratcliffe and Wilcox started questioning Amorim, then the players have shown their displeasure with INEOS for the sacking.
It's all a disaster, but INEOS is to blame for the state of everything.
@ImpressionistAL I've never trusted INEOS, not for a second. Just because they came in and implemented a few changes that most football clubs have in their staff doesn't mean they know what they're doing. They have zero history of sporting success and what they did at Nice said they were clueless
When you walk into a football club that’s broken from the penthouse to the pitch and decide you’re going to change the culture, you don’t arrive to calm seas you arrive to turbulence, storms are not a sign you chose the wrong direction they’re proof you’re flying into new airspace.
The idea that “Amorim wasn’t good enough” isn’t just wrong, it’s convenient, It’s a lie that protects the real culprit. Amorim didn’t fail this club he was consumed by the very disease that’s been draining it for years: the boardroom rot.
Context matters, even if it’s uncomfortable. We were three points off fourth, three, Not stranded in mid-table, not staring at relegation battles, but within touching distance of where everyone claims we should be. Then AFCON stripped us of our best players. Injuries ripped through the squad, we crawled through a 4/10 transfer window that patched cracks instead of fixing foundations. And still, despite all of that, we were close.
That isn’t failure, that’s survival under hostile conditions.
Sacking Amorim was like blaming a pilot for turbulence caused by engine failure while the mechanics who ignored the warning lights quietly walk away. You don’t fix a collapsing house by firing the interior designer while the foundations rot underneath.
Now, predictably, many of the same voices shouting “Amorim out” are pivoting toward the board, not out of conviction, Not because they suddenly see the truth, but because they need somewhere to hide. It’s not accountability it’s reputation management. They backed the wrong narrative and now they’re scrambling to rewrite history.
The uncomfortable reality is this: success doesn’t come from instant gratification It comes from laying foundations no one applauds at the time, From patience, from enduring growing pains, from understanding that culture change is closer to reforestation than redecorating. You don’t plant a seed on Monday and demand shade by Friday.
This club has spent years cutting the plant the moment it doesn’t bloom fast enough different managers, same cycle. Hope. Pressure, Panic, Reset and every time we start again, the roots get weaker.
If we keep tearing down before anything has time to grow, we’ll never escape this loop, We won’t evolve, We won’t build. We’ll just keep mistaking motion for progress.
Amorim wasn’t the problem, He was standing in the rain, trying to build with wet tools, while the people who control the roof pretended the leaks didn’t exist.
And until that changes, no manager no matter how good will ever be allowed to blossom.
