Early reports coming out of OT that the players have reacted badly to the new manager's training regime. A source said, "He makes us run and everything. "
Obviously this is made up and all tongue in cheek, but how long do you think before we hear the same old nonsense? I'll give it 3 months.

I hope and sense not. I think with squad turnover, changes to football leadership and players aware of some supporter discontent that they know it's s**t or bust for them now.
I still maintain that we are yet to have an experienced, approachable, tactically astute manager that it also a good communicator in place for many, many years. Given all of these factors hopefully there will be a more positive environment for players to step up.

3 months will be perfect, they can be shipped out at the same time!

As long as 3 months?

Then the club should ditch any players still singing from the previous hymn sheet.
One of the reasons for our multi-season malaise is the erroneous culture of player power that developed under the previous regime.
Unfortunately, the legacy of that regime has a lasting impression in the form of the remaining clique.
If the club is to move forward on all levels, then any grey area must be corrected - this does call for the purposeful eradication of this pervasive culture of precious players holding sway over everything.
In INEOS and Ruben I trust, but if the former neglect to address any prospective player-culture problem then they are just as weak as the previous regime.
No more invertebrates please!

From everything that has been said, written or observed with Amorim his biggest quality is his man management. The way he communicates, he really gets players to buy into his ideas.
Ultimately any that don't need to be booted off down the road regardless of who they are or how long they have left on their contract.
We cannot keep letting the inmates run the asylum.

With the previous manager we all applauded his discipline approach when he first came in, ultimately it didn't work.
Amorim seems to be the kind of manager who players will run through a wall for, let's see how many embrace it.

Rashford and run through a wall don’t seem to go hand in hand Grim….
