The club hopes to have a manager in place by Wednesday when the players return to training.

Wednesday! Players return to training Wednesday. WTF did they do to get two days off?

They are fragile atm BRD.
They need time to rest and recover for all the running and sprints they made during the game against Brighton reserves.

Think you’ve taken that the wrong way. Final decision by tomorrow so prep can start in weds for the derby.

Nrd there had been major upheaval for the players. A couple of days off while they sort an appointment is understandable imo.
Its not like they can prep anything for the weekend until the new coach sets them up. So it makes sense to me.

Remember when Jim preached about having the best in class
Ridiculous decision to sack Amorim when we were still fighting for European spots and the fa cup.
What happened to putting the club first and no your egos.

Bolger, Amorim got himself sacked. They put them in an untenable position.
12 Jan 2026 12:56:50
Agree Bolger. Madness.

I know your agenda and yes Amorim did push the position but he was put in an untenable position, almost constructive dismissal.
I appreciate you will be cheering yet the bigger picture is that Wilcox has caused an utter shambolic disaster.

I would assume Amorim wanted January reinforcements and was told to "coach" the players he's given. Wilcox and Barrera leaked this sour interaction to the press, Amorim knew the writing was on the wall so went out swinging.
All this shows is the new board room are willing to make decisions based on emotion and not logic. I wasnt a huge fan of Amorim but 5th/6th in the league with 6 or 7 first team players coming back into the fold, I think we would have had a shot at Champions League qualification.
Sacking him with the back up plan of Ole or Carrick is essentially flushing the season down the toilet. The light is now shining directly on them and with the club having no prospect of a trophy on 10th January is going to be a rough few months if the wheels come off.
Maybe Carrick can turn it around slightly and we can at least enjoy watching the team again.

Good to see you mumbles.
All we have is hope mumbles.
No reason why6t Carrick can't do as well as amorim and keep us in the euro spots.

Red man, It's not an agenda, it's literally what happened.
I'm hoping now that the decline can be reversed but the players confidence is on the floor and I'm not sure that it can be reversed quickly. What we will get is a lot of 'i told you sos' in the group because this is going to be a long road to recovery. After a 32% win rate in the league, it's going to take time.
12 Jan 2026 14:32:34
The decline eth took us into has been reversed angel. He took us into 7th then to 15th and amorim has clawed us out of that hole to joint 5th. I know you have difficulty grasping that. Now all we need is for our interim to maintain that and not let us slump in the league again like we did under eth.
Thankfully amorim arrested the slide after he got to pick the confidence off the floor and put some posting structure in.
It was a far from perfect work inmprogress but giving best results and goal difference for past 3 seasons.
Im backing Carrick to do well and to keep us in the el spots. As you said yourself this squad should be getting 6th place I'm sure they will they are bang on target for it anyhow.

Confidence is on the floor through the likes of Wilcox sacking the manager because he called them out after they have been leaking snips to the press
Failed promises.
