FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

[Hotspur33]

What on earth were Levy and Paratici thinking??

Nuno is a nice guy but he has to go now surely.

Tbf, if we believe Ally Gold, Levy wasn't convinced either, but gave Paratici the benefit of doubt.

 

[Wizzy77]

Now we know why Jose is reluntant to play Winks , Sanchez and Dele as much last season.

While Nuno has to go, these players MUST go asap.

 

[leray]

Is this the first time ever a club has spent longer trying to hire a manager than actually keeping one in a job?

No, Tottenham has tried to sign Mourinho for 15 years and sacked him after 18 months.

 

[THX2208]

The way Nuno has us playing at the moment we'll finish 15th this season. If Crystal Palace had given him the job he'd have gotten them relegated 100%.

Levy is obviously going to spin it that way. If he works out then Levy wisely let yhe DoF get on with it. If it doesn't then he was right all along and can take his rightful power over the whole club back.

Nuno wasnt Paratici's first or third choice, either. Let's say Levy said no.. who would we have got in after the nine that said no to us or we rugpulled.

 

[JCRD]

That’s because they’ve been with their respective teams for years, not six games

But you know what football they play. We always knew what Nuno was and what style he played...

 

[ljinko888]

hahahahaha, come off it. Did you not see today's game? The setup and tactics were dreadful. What was Hojberg doing? Where on earth was Dele playing?

And last week, Tuchel makes one change and Chelsea blow us out of the water. Nuno had no answer.

He should be sacked immediately.

We've been shit to watch for over 2 years now mate. Nuno is not going to change anything. He's not good enough and should never have been appointed. But the cause of our decline is above the manager.

Did we ?

 

[yido4life]

If only the bbc were right about Nunos job title

 

[faze_coys]

Fuck me he’s just said he didn’t play the players that could execute the game plan ??‍

Hell get us relegated!! We don't have players with the heart for a fight... not since poch's team than never knew when they were beat. We will go behind ALOT this season and Nuno has neither the players backing nor the tactical nouse to win from behind. Only hope is levy sees it and sacks him while still time to save prem status.

Quickly becoming much like Poch faced with problems in his early months - bad results, unconvincing football, a rabble of a squad, and an angry fan base who couldn't see any hope on the horizon. He then took extreme action, loaded the team with motivated kids who would at least give 110% and run through brick walls, and though there were still bumps in the road there was some breathing space to instil a style and set standards of discipline, effort, and performance.

Taking my opinion on him (and what he's capable of) out of it, think Nuno is already getting to the point where he too has to do something radical to try and buy himself time and a bit of goodwill and something to get behind, even if it again means banishing players and a team full of eager beaver kids. The way he's going about it is only leading to the exit door.

The only thing he will do differently is revert to a back three. Probably not the worst idea before he completely loses the players. Gives us width at fullback and son and Kane upfront. Skipp, Hojbjerg Ndombele behind them.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

I said I bear him no ill will, and I still don’t. He’s not up to the job and should never have been given it. That part isn’t his fault.

What is his fault, is abandoning his blueprint which has got him to the point where he was offered the fucking job in the first place. I hated Jose-ball, but I at least respected him for his philosophy. Nuno, literally hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing. This gung ho bollocks is turning us into a laughing stock. And we’re creating just as little as we were before.

We were promised an attacking mindset, and that they would make us proud. What we’ve got is an amateur version of what we played under Redknapp, and a coach with as much charisma as Daniel Levy to go with it.

Paratici should fall on his sword for this as well.

 

[Spurzinho]

Is this the first time ever a club has spent longer trying to hire a manager than actually keeping one in a job?

Lol. We spent the majority of 02/03 managerless only to appoint Santini who lasted a matter of weeks.

Guess who the common denominator was.... Go on, guess.

No? I'll give you a clue. His initials are DL.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

He’s blaming the players. Unbelievable. That’s his goose cooked.

 

[Metalhead]

Levy is obviously going to spin it that way. If he works out then Levy wisely let yhe DoF get on with it. If it doesn't then he was right all along and can take his rightful power over the whole club back.

Tbf he had to let Fabio get on with it otherwise he'd have rightly been accused of interfering.

Always the sign of a competent manager lol

 

[Monkey boy]

We have to make a change the alarm bells are ringing... its not often stats match performances but for us it's damming they both match and tell the same story. My eyes have seen every min of our games and agree this is the worst I've seen in a long time, I already have the opinion in terms of playing attacking football we are the worst in the league. It's not all nuno fault but he hardly inspires confidence it will change, he's as dull as dishwater

these stats are the same stats (slightly worse) that he was posting for Wolves. This should not come as a surprise to anyone yet somewhere in an office in North London a little bald man is scratching his head wondering why his 7th choice manager is failing.

Just .... Faze lol are you 10 ha ha ha

 

[felmani26]

Is there going to be a Ruud Gullit/Shearer moment here when he drops Kane?

Because that's what is needed here to try and wrestle some authority back and lay down a marker that standards need to be a damn sight higher than what's being served.
