I don't see how 'Amorim getting rid of fodders' (he didn't btw, he just 'assessed' them) serves as any merit/hopium for him.
Every coach we had in the last decade 'got rid of fodders', and management accumulated new ones.
CDK, Okafor, Hernandez, Adli, all were let go since they were unfit to wear the shirt.
You know who managed to deal with fodders and still win? Padre.
Guy took a squad of Bennacer, Kjaer, Fik, Calabria, Messias, and a 40-year-old Ibra and won a Scudetto. Hell, reached new heights every season thereafter, getting nothing he wanted in the transfer market.
Only in his last contract season did he have any involvement in the transfer market iirc, under Redbird (and even that was probably for show).
Amorim having the same 'eye test' as a regular commoder in RnB should be worrying, not hopeful. Seeing that Fof, Estupid, and Terraciano are grade z footballers could be accomplished by Twitter highlights. Let's see how he's working with the given situation, and what he does with it.
