Probably a controversial opinion, but considering what has transpired since we may as well have stuck with Jose.

I watched the “do I not like that” documentary again yesterday and it was so obvious why he failed with England and whilst I was watching it I couldn’t help think of Nuno. The clips of him talking to the squad were full of mixed messages and he was so negative about every situation. He was terrible at motivating. I just thought the players looked devoid of any direction. A bit like we do now. Probably unfair on both men but it just looked like a man out of his depth in Taylor. Much like how I imagine Nuno with our players.

Worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Was on Channel 4.

I watched that too.

What struck me most was what on earth was David Seaman doing on that Koeman free kick? He practically gave him the entire goal to aim at.

Mason is 30 with next to no managerial experience. Despite what you think of Nuno he has experience of competing well in the prem as well as success in La Liga and Portugal. It would make no sense to stick with Mason.

He’s personally got a great chance in next 3 games to turn this round:

- likely very under strength Burnley
- United in disarray
- Vitesse just a home game we should win

If he managed it we could be in top 4, carabo 1/4 final and look very healthy in Confrence group. Of course the opposite is also true ?

Can't see how it possibly could be after bringing in Paratici. I mean it might have been at one point but brining in FP and how much long term planning is now going on I find it incredibly difficult to believe that could still happen.

I hope this is going to lead to an improvement on our previous plans.

Anyone thinking Mason would be a better caretaker than Nuno, remember his brief tenure when Winks regularly replaced Ndombele as the creative hub of the team. Having an elephant stamp on my penis is mildly less painful than that

i mean he hasn't helped himself. In the unveiling interview he got a lot of people on board with the way he spoke, saying about a style of football etc, and he's just not shown ANY of it, it was clearly a interview written by someone to appease the fans, with no intention of playing the "tottenham way"

he's been dealt a short straw no doubt, and the players arent good enough, THFC are just a shit show, from the very top all the ay down to the playing squad. Players who thinj they're better than they are & keep posting gym selfies claiming "they're hard at work" etc, a 25goal a season striker who can't be arsed! a magician in midfield who only turns up when he's feeling it - the squad is rotten, the bloke coaching them is rotten, and the guy paying the coaches wages is rotten, and the man paying the man who pays the coach is rotten! the club is fucked!

Good post but tbh mate in his initial interview he didn’t even mention about style of play he just said what he’s said upon joining his previous 3 clubs that he will ‘make us proud’ which he absolutely isn’t doing.

In terms of style of play he was directly asked about this in subsequent press conferences and instead of acknowledging the style of play the fans want and club expects he shot it down and said “we will play solid, balanced football”, hardly inspiring is it.

So as you say he’s not helped himself at all but it’s never been his modus operandi to play attacking free flowing football, he’s a cautious Charlie, his football is the absolute opposite of what we want so it’s just a fucking waste of everyone’s time as we all said.

I don’t even think that Paratici wanted him I think Nuno was all that was left when Paratici turned up after we’d burnt all of our other attempts at 8 different managers. Well it was Nuno or Fonseca and by all accounts Paratici preferred Nuno which is very concerning in itself given that Fonseca’s philosophy and style of play is a much much better fit for the club than Nuno.

The same Mason who’d never managed a 1st team game yet for us to completely outplay Nuno’s Wolves having more shots in most games than we have in any under Nuno.

Mason is not the answer but the fact that he got us playing far more entertaining football than Nuno says it all.

United are getting Conte. The top four will be a very, very long term project for us from now on in. Well done, Daniel- you’ve given us a Champions League stadium with Champions League ticket prices and probably the worst football in the last 20 years. Genius economics

I really wouldn’t say that. We were sporadic under Mason at best, and really falling apart at the end. At least Nuno sees the value in Ndombele. Let’s face it, they’re both shit options, irrespective of age etc
