⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[AprilioMP]

I was very surprised by the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, the impact of that decision felt far too rushed. Ruben Amorim wanted backing to add strength in the January transfer window, but the management misunderstood the intent of his interview. I believe Ruben Amorim understood the consequences of every word he said and was willing to put his position at risk in order to secure budgetary support.

It is truly shocking news that Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United as head coach. Amorim was still able to hold his own without eight key players due to injuries and international duty, but the club issued an official statement ending their collaboration after Manchester United's position in the standings dropped to sixth place.
I agree that sacking Amorim was too hasty and will have an impact on the team's ability to finish the season in the desired position. Was it Amorim's statement that led to his dismissal? If so, then Manchester United fans have found the answer to what has been holding the club back from returning to the glory days of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Meanwhile, if Manchester United appoint Enzo Maresca as the next successor, I do not think that move will bring immediate change. Manchester United need to recruit a world class manager, someone respected by everyone, so that the club can gradually return to its former glory.

No matter who the replacement coach is, Manchester United won't be successful again if the core issue remains the club's management itself.

[Finebone]

Was Enzo Maresca sacked? Didn't he willing resign because he was having issues with some people at board level and needed assurance concerning being the manager of the club instead of a head coach? And why do you think that Manchester United won't want a coach who won two major trophies in space of 14 months of his stay in Chelsea.

 Enzo Maresca has a better win rate compared to Amorim and won trophies like i said earlier, something Amorim couldn't do even when the opportunity ortunity to win one against Tottenham in the European league. I think Maresca's good relationship with Wilcox would play a role to land him the job, except Berbada or Vivell kicks against it and decide to hire another person.

I am not going to deny that enzo maresca record with Chelsea is quite encouraging, because winning two international trophies is not an easy task, but can he replicate such thing at Manchester United?
That's what am not certain of because the quality of players at Manchester United is a bit lower than that of Chelsea, and I am not that sure if he will be supported that much in the transfer Market, so the chances of him replicating such form if he is hired by Manchester United are low.

It's not that clear if he was fired or if he resigned, because so many papers are saying different things, but  that doesn't matter any longer because he is no longer in charge of Chelsea as their manager, but is he an upgrade to Ruben amorin?
No, I don't think so.

Here we go Guys!!!!
Joao Cancelo to Barcelona....
Here officially Barcelona have completed the deal of João Cancelo like his loan deal with lower wags. Barcelona will pay €4 million loan coverage to Al Hilal. Thus far Inter Milan also offer him a higher wage but João Cancelo only love to play fro Barcelona Because he already have experience of the Barcelona jersey, and definitely Barcelona also need such a loyal player who can sacrifice himself for the club legacy....

Besides that now I think Hansi Flick will have a more play to used on overlap instructions like João Cancelo can play in both sides, whether it's right back or left back and also everyone is well aware that who good is João Cancelo. His speed, his dribbling, his creativity and crossing is absolutely outstanding. So obviously his addition can cause some more boost to to attacking gears.

What did you think Guys
Is it a good deal for Barc or not?

Very nice. Inter had a deal in place with Al Hilal but João Cancelo did not care and he dreamed of going to Barcelona. He delayed all the other proposals while waiting for Barcelona to make a decision and talk to Al Hilal.

It's important to say the loan is until the end of the season in June

My question would be why is he leaving Al Hilal for Barcelona all of a sudden, and why is Barcelona doing this deal out from nowhere because from my knowledge, does Barcelona really need this player and is he going to have enough playing time, and considering his age he would be better fit for the Seria A, I think he would have suited Inter Milan more, and he would’ve enjoyed his playing time with Inter Milan.

I don’t really think he is going to be playing enough game, because there are players in his position like Balde, Hector who are playing well, Well I don’t know if this players are injured, so it will be more wise for him to get more playing time, well I would think he isn’t considering having more game time to himself, anyways it’s a good business for Barcelona considering whatever reason they want him.

To be fair, up until Amorim I honestly thought they did not have any good sense in picking good managers. Sir Alex Ferguson was their last good manager, and after that they ended up a series of terrible managers.

Don't just look at what managers did before, look at what they did after too. Mourinho? Managing Benfica and royally screwed up his last few jobs. Solskjaer? Dude left and became a UEFA worker. Erik Ten Hag? Literally fired after 3 games at Leverkusen. Amorim was the only one I had hopes, and even that failed miserably.

What does Amorim have that made you have high hopes for him? He's left behind only the worst records for the team in their history. Manchester United are constantly experimenting with coaches, trying to choose from some questionable options, but that's currently in keeping with their level, they've become a middling team in the Premier League, it's hard to call them a top team anymore. Do you think they'll choose a better manager this time?

If so, then Manchester United fans have found the answer to what has been holding the club back from returning to the glory days of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Too hasty? For real? The same Amorim who has had more losses than wins and draws for Manchester United? Are you guys serious? He was a horrible manager. In my opinion, he was supposed to be fired at the end of last season. He shouldn't have started the new season with Manchester United. They should have used the summer to look for a better Manager. There is nothing hasty about this decision; in fact, they were too late.

No matter who the replacement coach is, Manchester United won't be successful again if the core issue remains the club's management itself.

This is not entirely true. The club management may be a mess, but if they get an elite manager who can handle the dressing room and atmosphere of the club, he can bring out the best in the players. All that is needed is a good manager who makes decisions that are not influenced by the fans, past players or the management of the team.

[Hyphen(-)]

Here we go; Chelsea management has agreed to bring Liam Risenior as their new head coach according to Fabrizio Romano.

Liam Risenior Will replace Enzo Maresca as the new Chelsea head coach, he has also been doing well for Strasbourg, now he is here to start another future in the Premier League with Chelsea.

Can Liam Risenior succeed in the Premier league? Can he be different from the likes of Amorim and others that have been doing well in other leagues and come to the premier league and finds it difficult? Let’s see.
I wish Liam Risenior all the best.

This issue is no longer tied to one particular team in England; it's Chelsea Football Club that is normally not in patient with their coach and sacks them whenever they feel like The top England teams are currently not in a stable condition: Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and even Manchester City. It is just like it's a trend now that they haven't gotten a suitable coach to manage their respective clubs well, without declining performance or form within a season or two that they took charge of a particular team.
Amorin isn't the only coach who hasn't been successful with Manchester United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.

But could this be that Manchester Utd's success was hugely due to Sir Alex Ferguson's influence that Man Utd hasn't been themselves since?

I wish Liam Risenior all the best.

This was fast, 5 days for them to appoint a new head coach guess we won't be seeing McFarlane again, I still don't see the reason why Chelsea will decide to have Rosenior as there head coach because I see no exceptionality In this move, from his stay in Strasbourg, he didn't put up the numbers I expected for this recognition, but I guess we will wait and see what he will do.

Liam Risenior cannot be compared to Enzo Maresca so till now I am still surprised why they suddenly decided to sack Maresca for Risenior. Risenior might have been doing well in the Ligue 1 but the French League cannot be compared to the Premier League. It's a difficult league and then Chelsea is a team with lots of pressure, they expect fast results, the management has no patience, the fans as well has no patience so I wish him the best in Chelsea I really hope he succeeds.

This was fast, 5 days for them to appoint a new head coach guess we won't be seeing McFarlane again, I still don't see the reason why Chelsea will decide to have Rosenior as there head coach because I see no exceptionality In this move, from his stay in Strasbourg, he didn't put up the numbers I expected for this recognition, but I guess we will wait and see what he will do.

I guess the management have always wanted to bring Liam Risenior to the team a long time but Maresca was in the way so now with Maresca gone it was easy to bring him and there is no need to waste any time. Maresca has done well managing the inexperienced players they gave him and this is something not every coach can do. Let's see how Liam Risenior will cope with this young squad.

I’m probably missing something, but I can’t remember anything particularly remarkable that Strasbourg has achieved. As far as I know, last season they barely qualified for the Conference League. Honestly, I’m a bit, actually, more than a bit, very surprised by this choice, and I think that compared to Maresca, the new coach for Chelsea is a huge step backward. I just thought about the idea of seeing Maresca as the new Manchester United coach, what do you think, is that possible?

[davis196]

I was surprised when Maresca was signed as a Chelsea manager back in the day and now I'm surprised to see Chelsea signing some unknown coach as their new manager. Strasbourg seems like a mediocre French team. They are in the "not great, not bad" category.
AFAIK, they are playing in the Conference League, but I don't know about any other achievements and trophies. Risenior jumping from a mediocre French team to one of the big English teams seems more like gamble than a rational decision. I can assume that Todd Boehly had the final opinion about who is going to be the next Chelsea manager.
Also, sacking Amorim was the best decision for Man United. I'm sure that even Daron Fletcher can be a better manager than Amorim.

It's obvious Rosenior can succeed in the premier league. However, let's lower our expectation. He's sacked by Hull City, and leave from Strasbourg. He has no experience in managing a big club. We must also don't forget managing strasbourg young team is a lot different compared with Chelsea's young team, which is also playing in the best league in the world.
He can end up as another potter, but since he came as a new manager. The better whole fans to back him. he deserves the chance. We'll see.

[Solodoski]

What does Amorim have that made you have high hopes for him? He's left behind only the worst records for the team in their history. Manchester United are constantly experimenting with coaches, trying to choose from some questionable options, but that's currently in keeping with their level, they've become a middling team in the Premier League, it's hard to call them a top team anymore. Do you think they'll choose a better manager this time?

I wouldn't really say that Amorim has been a very good coach,  but I think Manchester United problem is more than just changing coaches. Since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club about 13 years ago, Manchester United has had 10 coaches, and they have all been sacked and the team still did not improve, this begs the question, is the coaches really the problem or there is more to what we are seeing. A big club like Manchester United should not be in this situation, but I am beginning to think that the issue is from the board. Amorim made some complains that club did not get him the players he wanted, rather they brought in the players they want. I think Manchester United need to give a coach the chance to take the team back to where they used to be.

We can never know till he starts his reign and we will see how he will perform, although I wish him well. But one thing that caught my attention with this Chelsea new manager is the length of the contract he signed. Chelsea gave him a long term contract that will last till the summer of 2032. Now my question is why give this Man that lengthy contract when we all know that he will be sacked in the next one year or two. When last did we see a manager see out his contract at Chelsea? You are bringing a manager on a trial basis and you are giving him a long term contract till 2032. Why not give him a contract of two years, if he perform well you renew his contract. I am very well convinced that Chelsea won't allow this their new coach see out this contract without sacking him.

What did you think Guys
Is it a good deal for Barc or not?

In my opinion, Cancelo's arrival at Barcelona gives Hansi Flick plenty of options in defense, especially since Cancelo can play in various positions and will certainly adapt easily due to his experience playing at Barcelona. With Cancelo's presence, Hansi Flick won't have too many left-back concerns, as Cancelo can play at left-back, as Barcelona has lacked a good left-back, with only Alejandro Balde remaining.

I was very surprised by the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, the impact of that decision felt far too rushed. Ruben Amorim wanted backing to add strength in the January transfer window, but the management misunderstood the intent of his interview. I believe Ruben Amorim understood the consequences of every word he said and was willing to put his position at risk in order to secure budgetary support.

It is truly shocking news that Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United as head coach. Amorim was still able to hold his own without eight key players due to injuries and international duty, but the club issued an official statement ending their collaboration after Manchester United's position in the standings dropped to sixth place.

If so, then Manchester United fans have found the answer to what has been holding the club back from returning to the glory days of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

It was heartening to see Amorim expression after being sacked, which meant he was freed from a very demanding job, plus he received a substantial compensation of 30 million euros. I agree that it has now been proven that the main problem lies with the club's management, not the players or the coach. With this incident, as long as this person remains part of the club, Manchester United will never rediscover its former identity.

I just thought about the idea of seeing Maresca as the new Manchester United coach, what do you think, is that possible?

Chelsea reason for sacking Enzo Maresca was because the 2025/2026 season didn't go as planned, but in my opinion, Enzo Maresca record is better than Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea continues to strive to find a new coach who is better and able to bring the club to meet the expectations as expected by management, many people were surprised when they recruited Liam Rosenior, I also can't judge the extent of his abilities, but when compared to Enzo Maresca abilities, Chelsea is in a decline stage.

It seems that Liam Rosenior will not last long at Chelsea, he will be under great pressure there because of the high demands of management, besides, the very competitive level of competition in the EPL makes Liam Rosenior job even harder, especially since there are so many strong teams there, this situation is very different from when he was still managing Strasbourg. I think it would be a very interesting maneuver, but according to rumors, Man United are trying to convince Zidane to accept their offer.

[cakir1]

What a surprise! I thought that management would be backing Amorim. However,  his recent comment said he was going there to be a manager, not a head coach seems triggering the management and owner to feel upset with him.

As for the replacement, i see Darren Fletcher becomes an temporary manager. It may be last for a few games until they will find someone who capable enough to be interim until the end of season. Their main plan to bring a permanent manager at summer window next season.

There is no noise after sacking of Ruben Amorim because this was looking to be happened he has never been long run coach here due to his strategy which was not working, and Manchester United has never been looking stable despite having many good and quality players.

Darren Fletcher is already announced as interim coach for rest of this season in last 10 games 5 draws 2 loses and just 3 wins in all competitions coming games are going to be not easy as they are having few challenging games and their player's coordination is looking not good this was the biggest problem in sacking of Ruben Amorim because he completely fails to have anything positive after his arrival.

[knowngunman]

What does Amorim have that made you have high hopes for him? He's left behind only the worst records for the team in their history. Manchester United are constantly experimenting with coaches, trying to choose from some questionable options, but that's currently in keeping with their level, they've become a middling team in the Premier League, it's hard to call them a top team anymore. Do you think they'll choose a better manager this time?

For how long will they continue with that experiment? I think the question should be how many good managers are out there? And not whether Manchester united will be able to choose better manager. The likes of Eric Ten Hang, Solksjaer or Pottechino are out there without job but can any of them succeed at Manchester United? The truth is Manchester United current squad are very average and even well experienced coach will find it difficult to succeed with them. As for sacking Amorin, they did nothing but right because that's what he deserves and every working club with a vision will do the same thing.

[Luzin]

No matter who the replacement coach is, Manchester United won't be successful again if the core issue remains the club's management itself.

I haven't been on social media for the past few days, so I was quite surprised to read the news that Amorim was fired. If I'm not mistaken, he had been with Manchester United for about 14 months. There really weren’t any remarkable records, but I thought their second season was a bit better. However, it seems the management was not satisfied with his performance. I don't think this firing is either good or bad. I think more about how Manchester United will start adapting to a new style again. If the management keeps firing repeatedly, I think it only creates new problems and wastes the budget. Actually, the management should also be evaluating the scouts. I read that the scouts did not approve some of the players Amorim suggested; for example, Amorim wanted Watkins, but MU chose Sesko.
