In the often excruciating comedy mockumentary series Nathan For You, the show’s creator, Nathan Fielder, tries to boost small businesses with his outlandish and ill-advised strategies. Highlights include instructing a mechanic to complete a polygraph test with each estimate, and helping a troubled mall Santa to sell discount photos at the height of summer. In the most memorable episode, “Dumb Starbucks”, Fielder’s copyright-flouting rebrand of a local coffee shop actually becomes a viral hit. In Nathan For You, the ideas aren’t necessarily bad, they’re just … different. And if you’re wondering why we’re talking about this, it’s because Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United tenure is starting to feel like a particularly painful episode.
On an emotional and tactical level it is impossible to salvage something positive from this. We were outclassed inside and outside. We didn’t compete at the level that the players have. I am concerned about the feelings of our fans, and they need to know that we are with them” – Carlos Corberán gets that Gary Neville feeling, after watching Barcelona stick seven past Valencia.
There are post-match interviews that stand out for one reason or another, and then there stands the utter lack of class that came over Ruben Amorim during his victorious post-match demonstration of how to guarantee with gusto that he will be meeting with United’s transfer negotiation team bright and early Monday morning. ‘Hi Ruben, we’re actually trying to SELL Marcus on FOR VALUE and so if you could please not SLAG HIM OFF in public again that would be super great’” – Daniel Stauss.
