Nuno will be OK espically with Mendes effectively being the new spurs CEO. Odd, very odd.
He'll get my support like every other manager but trust me, in front of a full stadium, if he sets us up to play purely on the counter attack like he has Wolves playing for the last 2-3 years in the PL, he'll be getting pelters.
As I just said to one of my mates, it goes completely against Levy's statement a few weeks ago.
...“We shall focus on the recruitment of a new Head Coach. We are acutely aware of the need to select someone whose values reflect those of our great Club and return to playing football with the style for which we are known – free-flowing, attacking and entertaining - whilst continuing to embrace our desire to see young players flourish from our Academy alongside experienced talent.”
How many academy prospects has Nuno brought through? Gibbs-White... then who else?
When have Wolves ever played free-flowing attacking football?
I rest my case.
I so hope I'm wrong like I was wrong with Poch. Sigh.
I just wanted to revisit this... not wrong was I?
What makes the appointment of Nuno even more bizarre are the comments this week from Fonseca saying he was pretty much agreed as manager, had started planning signings etc (so clearly Levy wanted him) but then the new guy Paratici came in and everything changed as he felt Fonseca was "too attacking" and wanted a more conservative manager.
Why would anyone not want their team to be attacking?
totally. Its what Spurs are known for. To dare is to do and all that sha-bang FFS.
Anyhow, maybe absolutely nothing in it, but it appears Ryan Mason was still at the training ground at 10:30pm last night. He posted a strange Insta story saying 'see you all soon'. Might be worth a cheeky bet on for caretaker manager very soon.
JB, would you be happy if Mason had another stint in charge? From the outside, I can’t see that he could do any worse than Nuno ?
Happy? Not sure happy is the right word because I dont particularly want any manager to fail but Nuno is already in the last chance saloon I think. If he doesnt get a result against Villa on Sunday (which I'm going to, more fool me!) then he's going to be a gooner. He would be the obvious candidate to fill in and he is Spurs through and through.
Big name for a club like Welling but he's got a very patchy track record.
In fact, having just checked it looks like in the last 15 years he's had 9 different clubs, never lasted much more than a year, and all 9 have sacked him/let him go due to poor results.
It has, of course. Since they sacked Sean Dyche ten years ago after just one season in charge (one defeat in his final 13 matches) they've had just the 16 Managers. They replaced Dyche with Zola. The former has gone on to perform wonders at Burnley for some 400 games on a very limited budget whereas the latter hasn't managed since his Birmingham stint ended over four years ago having won two games out of 24.
Watford and Norwich are the poster boy clubs for Prem-Champ yoyoing .. so far the Canaries have stuck with their manager whereas Watford employ a regular revolving door policy

West Brom and Fulham say hi 🖐
shows how the parachute payments distort promotion and relegation .. medium sized clubs too good for the Champ and not good enough for the Prem but kept on like support with big cash injections .. the same is starting to apply further down the divisions .. newly promoted Hull and Posh are struggling in the Champ. I'll be surprised if both don't go straight back down ..

Great manager for the England U21's and at the time I felt he could go on & become the England manager.
He was England Manager

Did a great job there, without getting a promotion in his cv

You reap what you sow!
Having only beaten Aston Villa | Norwich
Might be a case that they're about to go into a run of games that could seriously leave them in trouble.
excuse the digression from sacked managers
Think he meant this season not total.
21/22 league season
