Today, I want to celebrate every single Amorimsexual who refused to be bullied, intimidated or manipulated into abandoning Ruben Amorim. The ones who stood by their convictions when the entire football establishment, former players, media personalities and sections of the fanbase were determined to make him the problem.
We were called delusional, stubborn, clueless and emotionally attached to a manager who supposedly didn't know what he was doing. We were mocked for defending his methods, questioning the club's decisions and pointing out the structural problems he repeatedly spoke about.
But look at everything that has happened since he left.
The very issues Amorim highlighted, the lack of structure, poor recruitment, questionable decision-making, lack of accountability and the need for proper backing, have continued to expose themselves. His warnings were dismissed as excuses, but time has made those conversations impossible to ignore.
We weren't defending perfection. We weren't claiming Amorim got everything right. We were defending fairness, context and accountability. We understood that rebuilding a broken football club requires more than sacrificing a manager whenever things become uncomfortable.
To every Amorimsexual who refused to join the witch hunt, who defended him when it was unpopular and who refused to let former players and media narratives rewrite the reality of what happened, take your flowers.
History has a funny way of revisiting conversations people desperately wanted to bury.
We didn't owe Ruben Amorim blind loyalty. We simply believed he deserved the same patience, protection and institutional support that others were so willing to demand for his successors.
And that is a hill we will proudly stand on. ❤️
