can we lock this thread and focus on the new manager search thread to make it easier for us to follow updates?

this chapter is done and I don’t want to think about Nuno anymore.
People might have some nice things to say about him, so I'll leave it open.

I'll probably post a few more CAPITAL LETTERS style sign posts throughout the day.

PLEASE TAKE ALL "NEW MANAGER" CHAT TO THE NEW MANAGER THREAD.

Feel sad for him (not sorry for him) .

Should never have taken or been offered the job. Needed a break from football when he left wolves.

100% the fault of Levy.

If I employ a plumber to do my electrical work and he burns my house down, its not the fecking plumbers fault, its mine !!
I think you'll find it's the plumbers fault, but I understand what you are trying to say:D

Gone

As I said from day 1 WASTE OF FUCKING TIME.

Levy and Paratici please get the next one right to get our club back on track and once hired put a plan in place to bring in 3-4 good players in January. The squad needs work too.

Seemed like a decent (if dour) chap - hope he does well in the future but he was the wrong fit here. Don't really see much changing whoever comes in unfortunately, the current playing staff are (outside of 2 or 3) mediocre or not trying and we have a board/owner that are more concerned about financials and facilities than on the pitch performance.

Awful appointment, think everyone saw this coming. Nice of Levy to give Nuno a few extra million for his sabbatical from the game he probably needed after Wolves.

Good luck for the future Nuno - you were the wrong man but I hope you're successful in the future.

Levy and his DOF should hang their heads in shame today. You f**k a manager out for getting it wrong over 3 months and Levy's been getting it wrong for at least 3 years. This appointment was absolute incompetence on their part and they should take full responsibility for it.

The decline predates the CL final, we all know this but it needs to be held up more in the media, Pochettino got us to a CL final with a midfield two of Winks and Sissoko not Dembele and Wanyama.

I always look at the CL run as a complete fluke. We were terrible that season.

See you all in the new manager thread. Hope this one doesn’t drag out as painfully and as long as the last one , not sure we can all handle that again ?

Poor guy.

Seems like a decent bloke, didn't deserve to be the scapegoat for Daniel Levy's incompetence, and certainly didn't deserve some of the utter poison directed at him online.

I hope he does well wherever he goes next.

This is exactly my view.

I feel very sorry for Nuno - this club is a grave yard

But we can't keep sacking managers and presume it's always their fault. Levy has picked one manager of real quality in 20 years. One.

He should be falling on his sword. There are things he's done well, but it's time to go
