He’ll Slot right in

Haha. I don't hate the Dutch, I lived there for a couple of years and they treated me wonderfully well, one couple even let me sleep on their sofa for 3 months ! They are very blunt, very, but friendly. And tall. Bloody hell are they tall.
Blunt but friendly is fine with me.

I don't like tall people. Lanky bastards the lot of them.
 
Found him, some Dutch pornsite. Apparently translates to I wanna suck your dick.

Looks like Baldy is gonna take the job. Stats wise Amorim has a better win % in a tougher league
Is it really a tougher league though?

It's 2 teams (besides Sporting).....the rest are all league 2 level.

Feyenoord are a lot like Sporting, seen as the 3rd biggest in the country in a league that only has 3 teams.

Also 58 of those 204 games were managing AZ who are probably the 4/5th biggest.

Except the Portuguese league is a lot less competitive. Nobody out of the big 3 has *ever* won the Portuguese league. A handful of other teams like Alkmaar and Twente have won the Dutch title.
 
The spreadsheet lads are gonna start pumping his frontal cortex full of xg stats with one of them Elon Musk brain machines from the first minute. Perfect manchurian candidate material. His press conferences are just gonna be text to speech binny posts with the odd bit of fascism sprinkled in.

One of the stats they may pull out is the xPTS to prove his side putting up a stronger title challenge than the current trailing by 9 pts suggest.

More like the stats Edwards pulled out for Klopp when he arrived at Liverpool that demonstrated his Dortmund team had a really unlucky season the season they plummeted.

The circumstances in which the league title was won should be taken into consideration too.

Players Ajax and PSV lost in 22/23's transfer windows:
- Mazraoui, Gravenberch, Haller, Martínez, Tagliafico, Schuurs, Antony
- Götze, Dōan, Gakpo, Madueke

20/21
- Benfica "invested €105 million amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a record investment in Portuguese football" (net spend 30m, thanks to sale of Dias)
- a Porto side that reached the CL quarter finals (won 4 of the 6 grp stage games, knocked Juve out in the round of 16)

Absolutely, I also take into account where they finished the season before and by what margin they won the title......for sure it makes for impressive reading for Amorim.

But Feye lost a lot of players themselves that same summer? They almost lost half a team and had to rebuild.

Lost - Sinisterra, Senesi, Malacia, Aurnses, Toornstra, Dessers, Til

Signed Mats Wieffer for 700k from a 2nd division side and he went straight into the first team, that's crazy business.

Slot seems to be a good move. Wonder what issue with Amorim is?

Read somewhere Slot had to do a total season rebuild this year.
