The Last Word On Spurs latest podcast was interesting as they had a journalist on who shared his insight from interviewing Nuno.
He caveated it saying he didn’t have that long with him but that he did find his answers to be very short and quite prickly.
It’s an interesting one as whilst Nuno won’t piss people off and throw players etc under the bus in the same way that Jose did in the media, his often aloof approach to the media won’t help when trying to endear himself to our fans.
I think with any manager especially in modern football, their use of the media is important and is part of the whole package of the manager including their tactics and motivational skills.
The win and performance against Villa was much much more positive and I hope that continues and if it does then results will come and playing football like that and winning games the majority of the fans will be happy.
However I do feel that as we know Nuno was about our 7/8th choice and there were and are concerns about his style of play so when you add to that he’s fairly prickly and cold/aloof to the media I think it is an extremely hard job for him to win over the fans and keep them on side especially when the going gets tough.
I don’t think he will change as he’s naturally a shy person and doesn’t like interacting with the media, he’s said himself he prefers being on the training ground and that is fair enough. The media duties must be a ballache for every manager but I think Spurs fans love a manager who is more warm open and honest like Jol, Redknapp and Poch and if Nuno was a bit more like that then it would help him keep a better feeling with the fans if/when we do have a bad performance or result.
