For my own mental health I won’t be watching our next few games. It can’t be good for me to be that angry and distraught!

Hopefully the board listen to the fans and do the right thing soon

Time to go Nuno if only for the sake of your health and reputation. We were never the right club for you.
There is an element to this too. He left Wolves because of “burn out” being the official line (dont really believe that), after that atmosphere yesterday and basically getting a drilling from 55 mins onwards I can’t see why he would even want to put himself through it again.

First, Starting Ben Davies was a suicidal move. To save his career in spurs, I have several ideas and recommendations.

Formation change: 4213 to 433. Stop playing 2 DMs, unless we had Dembele and Wanyama again, PEH and Skipp are quality individually but too stubborn and negative when played together. We need 3 midfielders who can do not only box to box but also cover our fullbacks and deliver quick forward passes. Front 3 should be Son , Lucas and Bergwyn. Bench Kane.

My team selection,
Lloris,
Royal,Romero, Sanchez/Tanganga/Rodon Reguilon

Lo Celso/Winks?, PEH/Skipp, Gil/Ndombele/Dele

Bergwyn Lucas Son
Selecting Winks says it all ?

Agree with this. If the team can't be bothered then neither can I. Fuck em.

Sadly whilst still hoping for us to win games I have become inured to what happens on the pitch. The fact that it now means little to me is a worry.

The guy is a ducking embarrassment. I can’t believe he wasn’t sacked directly after the game. The next game is going to be hugely toxic with people booing from the start

I'm due to take my son (he's 6) to his first ever spurs game against Norwich...if things remain the same I dread to think what the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium will be.

I said a few weeks ago our club is a complete mess. We have players not caring, a manager who is playing the most negative football I've ever witnessed, a recruitment team who have wasted large amounts of money on average players, a chairman who is more concerned with the balance sheet than looking to take this great club to the next level, we have a vice captain that doesn't want to be here and is walking about on the pitch with no effort at all.

The above are not small problems go fix - Poch (last season), Mourinho and now Nuno couldn't fix us - so like I said yesterday - a new manager doesn't solve the whole problem.

If I was Potter, Ten Hag etc even though we are a bigger club, I wouldn't come near us presently - that's the sad part in all this.

Nobody will want to be manager whilst Levy is still here. Full clean sweep required - Manager, Chairman, Director of Football and Vice Captain in January.

Problem we have is are the people above Nuno contemplating a change? Or are they just going to hope things pick up. My worry is after the international break we have a fairly easy run, which will buy him more time

I’d have no faith in us beating anyone at the moment. You could be right but if we were to lose to Leeds or Norwich, imagine how toxic it’ll get.

I’d defended Levy and ENIC up to around 12 months ago. Now, for me, they are clearly the problem. So let’s put it in terms Levy might understand. If you keep Nuno, morale will continue to dip, KPIs will continue to be amongst the worst in the league and your customers will stop buying tickets which will impact on merchandise and food/drink sales. That in turn will have a negative impact on your balance sheet and P&L. For all concerned, it’s best you come to an agreement with Nuno and send a “decided to pursue other opportunities” email to everyone tomorrow. And you should consider pursuing other opportunities yourself.

Or in normal language, fuck off Levy and take Nuno with you.

I believe that he is working something out now with us and we are getting a replacement sorted before he goes. Similar to when Poch left and Mourinho came in the following day.
