FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

[topper]

Just confirms what I always suspected - Anderton is a tier 1 ITK

Amazing the info you can pick up from visitors to your sickbed!

 

[Harryson]

The Club can today announce that Nuno Espírito Santo and his coaching staff Ian Cathro, Rui Barbosa and Antonio Dias have been relieved of their duties.

Fabio Paratici, Managing Director, Football, said: "I know how much Nuno and his coaching staff wanted to succeed and I regret that we have had to take this decision.

“Nuno is a true gentleman and will always be welcome here. However, when he subbed Moura for fucking Bergwijn even I booed!.”

A further coaching update will follow in due course.

See the quotes on Nuno leaving were from Paratici not Levy or an unnamed spokesperson. You could read this as 1). Good news - Levy realising he needs to leave football stuff to football people or 2) bad news - levy hiding from responsibility again. Which do people think it is?

Worst appointment since Christian Gross?

 

[spurs mental]

Wish him all the best. Was never really the right man for the job.

However he was Dealt a dreadful hand by that cretin running the club.

Sooooo.... reading between the lines NES had real difficulties being away from his family during the pandemic. Leaves Wolves for a break, probably mental illness / refresh batteries. And we bloody employ him a few weeks later ? What a waste of time.

That's what really puzzles me as well.

He was burnt out. The pandemic really hit him hard mentally. All Wolves reporters were saying exactly the same thing, that this was a man who needed a break. And we (Paratici) still convinced him that he should give it a go with us.

It didn't make any sense at the time, and now it's over it made even less sense.

Wrong fit, not helped by the state the squad is in and mentality of the players, exacerbated by the Kane saga.

Good luck Nuno. I hope he takes a break and recovers the relative success he had at Wolves, but the approach he took was all wrong for Spurs.

Now it is time for Levy to rectify years of mistakes.

btw, The Times. Lets not listen to a word they say.

 

[spursfan77]

That's Kane into my fantasy team. He'll be allowed to get the ball now.

I saw that pic of him standing on the touchline on Saturday after the 3rd goal went in - He had that thousand yard stare - totally traumatised.

 

[Wizzy77]

The real ITKs and wannabes had more shots on target past 24hrs than Nuno's season.

Thanks for the service and bye Nuno.

 

[chas vs dave]

The article was made an hour ago..haha! So they just waited.

Probably more likely that spurs were too incompetent to put their clocks back ?

 

[freeeki]

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

This is unfair - Martin Jol and Harry Redknapp played huge roles in getting us to the top 4

 

[VegasII]

No hard feelings Nuno. You’re better off out of this mess…

Right, who’s next?

I’m afraid it’s you, Dougal.

 

[mil1lion]

Worst appointment since Christian Gross?

Not really , we still won 5 league games and lost 5. It's not as bad as the 2nd seasons start under Ramos. I liken it really to the way we played under AVB.

 

[ilikeost]

While Levy and Paratici deserves criticism for giving him the job in the first place, at least they got rid of him quickly. Keeping him in the job because it would have looked bad to sack him so soon after appointing him would have been so much worse. But that's about the maximum amount of credit I'm willing to give them at this point.

 

[Wizzy77]

The only reason i forgive Para for Nuno appointment is he does his everything to get his pal Conte in.

 

[E17yid]

Poor guy.

.

I’m pretty sure he’s very, very rich and about to be even richer

 

[tiger666]

What a huge fucking waste of everyone's time the last 6 months or whatever have been. I like Nuno, seems a really decent guy but was never going to work out.

 

[Dougal]

I’m afraid it’s you, Dougal.

Did I not have a go already? So hard to keep up…
