No place for Ledley King On Nuno’s coaching staff

[Who’s our next manager?]

He’s been coaching for 5 mins, you can’t judge him in such a short period of time.
And seeing him on the touch line is no reflection of his work on the training pitch

That’s so true but after having the meanest defence in the Premiership before he was appointed and the way the defenders played afterwards does raise a few question marks.

Maybe this will stop people continuing to think he was the defensive coach, but I doubt it from some of the responses in here.

This is unnecessary. Ryan has been doing a great job in the youth setup by all accounts and is well respected at the club.

Lighten up - it was a joke … I actually like Ryan!

I must have missed the comic subtlety in re-treading a tired narrative.

The thing that has been overlooked with Mourinho is that he has not been the same manager since he lost Rui Faria as his asstistant. Like Brian Clough without Peter Taylor or why Peter Shreeves was a better #2 to Keith Burkinshaw than as the manager.

Nuno needs to appoint his own assistant. He needs to have his own trusted people around him. Let King and Mason go away and finish their badges and earn their place alongside whatever manager will hire him.

Well okay then!

I admire and revere Ledley King as a Spurs Legend like the next guy, but it's the right thing to do... as for Ryan Mason - I think there is a place for him, because he can counsel his best buddies if they're not selected on account of performance...

That's a lot of counselling!
