Rúben Amorim SACKED after a run of shocking, poor results.
No tactics, no identity, no excuses, just disappointment week after week.
Football is a results business, and the board has finally pulled the plug.
End of an era. Time to rebuild. ⚽💥
Thank God.

I support the move. He has been giving us mediocrity of a game back to back
