What Mourinho is now saying about Amorim may be really telling for Liverpool fans

Is Mourinho’s stamp of approval a warning?

Some might reasonably dismiss it as a flimsy argument, but might Liverpool have dodged a potential bullet if Amorim is the kind of boss to get the thumbs-up from football management’s Mr Difficult?

With the greatest of respect to Mourinho, he’s a ticking timebomb of a manager who can go off at the most inconvenient of moments.

Not to suggest the current Sporting Lisbon boss is necessarily cut from the same cloth, but it surely has to be a concern?

His recent alleged antics along with his entourage, attempting to drum up interest by applying pressure to Liverpool with a trip to London, certainly reinforces that image.

Who knows – he might turn out to have all the right answers and be a beloved figure elsewhere in England.

However, we rather suspect that Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes got it right by appointing Arne Slot.
