A graphical illustration of how shite our attack is on this link. It couldn’t really be much worse.
Yeah was very much Levy who had big doubts about him according to itk. From what I remember we twice went in for him buy Levy wouldn’t pull the trigger because he had doubts. And agree Hitch liked him. There was certainly a point were we could have easily got him of Levy had agreed. Supposedly.ITK said Levy didn’t like how he interviewed I believe. Hitchen was very keen on ETH.
Honestly so tempted to change my name to Covered In Moss.Words The Guardian podcast hosts described Nuno as this week:
Devoid of energy
Damp
Cold
Sad
Man who's gonna tell you your car has died
Melancholy
Covered in moss
Ancient medieval warrior resurrected out of his tomb to talk to people about loneliness and death and cold
Have to admit think the last one is best one
Incorrect. He’ll basically be given time and access to the world’s best young players who they’ll look to sign. And then unlike Ajax, he won’t have to sell the best of them when he gets it all clicking.
He never stood a chance man, was set up to fail from the start. It's all down to levy and the absolute shit show of manager search.The poor guy hasn't got a chance has he ? It seems as though everyone has already made their mind up.

Don't feel too sorry for him. He's extremely wealthy. He took the job on completely false pretences. He talked a lot of nonsense about getting us excited and proud and playing good, attacking football knowing full well that he has no idea how to do so. Sure, he's the fall guy for whatever game Levy and Paratici are playing but I'm not going to weep for a millionaire who's taking us all for a ride. He's not here to do us a favour. He's here because he's being paid handsomely and padding his CV. This is a job that ordinarily someone of his qualities wouldn't get near so... you know. Some perspective. I don't think he's a bad guy or deserves to be vilified but he's no martyr. He could walk away any old time he likes and he'd still get plenty more work in the game or he could retire right now and be wealthy till the day he dies. Care workers I will feel sorry for, shop workers I will feel sorry for, people on zero hour contracts and on benefits I will feel sorry for. Nuno Espirito Santo, not so much.The poor guy hasn't got a chance has he ? It seems as though everyone has already made their mind up.
Putting aside people's criticism over his tactical ability, this is a guy who was seemingly burnt out after his tenure at Wolves. Frying pan>fire?Words The Guardian podcast hosts described Nuno as this week:

Whilst I agree about those you mention such as care workers etc and as someone that works in the NHS I agree. But the point I made requires context - I obviously think others in society are having a very hard time and I am not comparing his struggles with many others - this is a nuanced argument. He has experience of managing big clubs in Europe and some success in doing so. He has been brought in to a very big club (not being anywhere near first choice) to rebuild and under any other circumstances I think he would have been afforded time and patience. But that's not the case here. If we had brought in say, Nagelsman, and he was 6th in the league and in all cup competitions I think he would have been afforded time and patience. Nuno is not getting that space or understanding - why ? I would argue it is because everyone involved is frustrated at the running of the club and the last 2 and a half years of what we have seen - not because of anything he has done or not done. It seems to me that judgments have already been passed on him ! That's my point.Don't feel too sorry for him. He's extremely wealthy. He took the job on completely false pretences.

Everyone had made their mind up before he was actually appointed but unfortunately after we had vetoed Guttuso we had no more passes left to play so had no choice but to accept NoNo.The poor guy hasn't got a chance has he ? It seems as though everyone has already made their mind up.

it’s very sad for him that everyone feels this way but every man and his dog could see the shit he was gonna be given yet he still took the job despite walking out on Wolves stating that he was heading back to Portugal as he was burnt out. He only has himself to blame on that front. However all our anger should be firmly directed at Levy and Paratici for actually going through with the ridiculous plan in the first place.
The poor guy hasn't got a chance has he ? It seems as though everyone has already made their mind up.
So in that case why appoint him ? and next why sack him unless you have a VERY clear idea as to who the next incumbent is going to be ?Very delusional to think otherwise, he's CLEARLY not up to the job.
