FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

[Spurslove]

I remember Thomas Tuchel's heartwarming comments about us when we played Dortmund in the CL a few years ago. He said how much he always enjoyed watching us. Broke my fucking heart when he joined the dark side. I'd have loved him to have taken over from Poch when he left. Football can be a right bastard.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Levy is so reactive it's unreal.

The word you wanted was radioactive

 

[Beni]

To be fair to Fabio, he's made some excellent signings in Romero, Royal, Gil and Mate Sarr (when he gets here). I wouldn't be too hard on Fabio for cocking up the choice of manager. Maybe we shouldn't be listening to anything Mendes tells us from now on.

.

Feel a bit for him, however it’s disappointing if Nuno was his choice, but don’t think it was solely his choice. Plus you have to remember that, the manager debacle had gone on months before he was appointed and the list was already down to number 7-8 by the time he arrived.
Im happy with the players he has bought in, Emerson and Romero have definitely improved us and look good and will get better as they adapt more to the league and plus still young. Gill and Sarr look real promising players, and has me feeling of going back to our recruitment of getting decent young players in that has worked for us in the past- Walker, Rose, Bale, Lennon, Huddlestone, Eriksen etc
So for me, him being here with a major rebuild that is needed long before he arrived, his bad choice in Nuno Im going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

FFS who wrote that shit, David Icke?

Conte would be nuts to join us now. We're a right mess

That's actually why a bigger name would join. More reward for fixing this shit show, DL & FP are desperate now, that means any incoming manager has more sway. Nuno was supposed to be a 24month puppet... wasn't even good enough for that.

 

[Daarkest]

Conte's bargaining position is strengthend now - Levy will know this - never gonna happen lol

 

[n0.1.spurs]

Just catching up with all of this after a crazy few weeks. Have barely been able to visit the site. I put some feelers out earlier and just heard back that he's basically gone (nothing you all didn't know already) and we're considering throwing a large sum at Conte to try and get him to come. On a personal level, I don't think we have a chance and it's probably some bullshit to momentarily appease the fans, but I thought it was interesting all the same.

The vibes are back. PART II

Time to bring this beauty back up.

I think the new guy has a relatively easy job. After years of dire football, I’d be happy to lose some games, if the team shows some fight, attacking flair and goals

if the new manager can get us playing attacking football, he’d have the fans onside

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Fair point, I just think it's a bit harsh to judge when we've served up such turgid shite of late. None of our players have looked any good, for quite a while, which has been down to the managers and their set up/directions.

tactics may be down to managers, but effort is down to players. And too few players have bothered to put in the effort recently

 

[PaulM]

Kane picks the team anyway. Make him player manager ?

I'm convinced that Kane must have a "plays when fit" clause in his contract. The amount of times he should have been hauled off or dropped but never has been is staggering. I know he's world class but when he's dogshit, he really is poor and yet managers never replace him.

Might be a reason why he signed that bloody contract too.

 

[zepstar]

Same….. DL also not happy and will be involved in replacement.

A cynic might suggest that this was the plan all along.

 

[daveduvet]

When do you/we ever see Paratici/Levy/Board members fending of questions from the press?

Outside of (largely unsubstantiated) murmurings and whispers, They're pretty much unanswered.

They’re the Ryanair of the footballing world

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

DL not happy, fuck me. A man with zero humility.

An unhappy dwarf?

Grumpy.

 

[Mr Pink]

Levy might be off the pulse with footballing matters but he's definitely not stupid.

That little statement he released before Nuno was appointed he'll come back to that now...wait and see. It was cringeworthy but he'll find an angle to spin it.

It will be... ' we havnt seen enough attacking football this Club is renowned for and reluctantly feel its time to make a change bla bla bla lol.

 

[slartibartfast]

Glad to hear Levy’s thinking outside the box

We'll be pioneers. First club not to bring in any players during a transfer window. First club not to have a manager/coach. Players will pick there own starting 11 with straws. Let the Gods decide. Straws are cheaper than Managers. And they dont need paying off

Grumpy.

And was probably sleepy during the game on Saturday.

The straws will of course be reusable so we can retain the only trophy won in recent years. Most sustainable EPL Club…….
