In our financial state with lack of player talent and lack of money to upgrade players how are we going to pay for an unproven coach? IF this is true.... It may go down as the dumbest thing I have seen happen at SCP in a long time......and that is saying something......Grrrrrrrrrr
Its looking like it will happen. He has a 10 mill clause. Apparently we're trying to include players in the deal like Gelson Dala, Ivanildo. I read yesterday we even offered to give them Palhinha as a trade.
Another embarrassing deal with Braga to add to the list is true. 10mil for a coach with 3 months experience, when theres nothing to play for? Seems like a good idea.
If you guys give up Palhinha you are even more retarded than I thought. go vote for BDC in all honesty.
Silas himself confirmed this was his last game and that Amorim will be the next coach. This is what SCP is now, a coach that's stepped down already talking about his successor before any official announcement.
Official: Ruben Amorim is the new coach of Sporting CP, we pay Braga 10 million euros to release him from his contract. To put that into perspective, in world football that's the 2nd highest fee ever paid for a manager. It's rumoured he will have a 2 million/year salary and a 20M euro release clause. Remember when everyone was saying JJ was too expensive? Yeah. This seems like an all-in from Varandas. Whatever leeway he has left with the fans will be gone if this fails. Moreover there were rumours that Benfica had their eye on Amorim to replace Lage at the end of the season. This could be more of a play to steal a coach our rival wanted.
10 mil for an unproven coach????!!!!!!!! Unbelieveable! And on top of that he's a benfiquesta! What in the actual f@$% is this?
Damn, 10M buy out clause for Amorin? I sincerely hope it all works out for you guys. No wonder Braga was so quick to accept.
The more I think about this it might be a masterstroke. Silas is a good coach, but maybe this job came too soon for him. Im sure you guys will recall Palhinha back from loan and he can be your starting DM next season. Sporar is looking better than I anticipated. Ruben Amorim has been a good coach. You also have Camacho and Plata, who I rate highly. Benfica and Porto aren't as dominant as they used to be, if SCP has a good off-season I don't see why they cannot contend for the title next season.
Anyways I watched some clips of Amorim in his first training session with Sporting. He looked very motivated and some of the methods remind me of myself. maybe you guys should be more positive, if Amorim never played for benfica there would probably be no issue with it. Sporting needs to get rid of their pathetic inferiority complex.
Rumours that we want Esgaio back from Braga and Braga want 10 mill (we have 20% of his rights). Why don't we just pay them 10 mill for Salvador and replace our president?
A comedian needs to keep coming up with new jokes..... And this comedy shows no signs of coming to an end
Lol another classic move. Wilson Eduardo is out of contract at the end of the year and hes another player we gave them for free. Should sign for 10mil too
