Management Nuno out

Agree but my point is the cancer in our club is one of the primary negatives vs Brighton
Agree but my point is will Potter want to jump into this toxic fire?
Never rule anything out. Depends what his motives are. If Levy came along, turned on the charm (if he has any) and offered him lots more of the green stuff then who knows these days. If however Potter wantsan easier life with lower expectations at Brighton then like you I can’t see it

Let's be real, we are all hoping that he will come in and implement what he's done at Brighton but we all know that's not gonna be the case when the problem is upstairs.
We can keep changing managers as much as we want but they're always gonna hit the glass ceiling at Spurs.
Because they believe in what their manager is doing.
When things go sour at a club you can decide if the players or the managers vision is the problem (or both).
AFAIC, Pochettino EARNED the right to rebuild the team. Mourinho and Nuno should have never been hired. I don’t want to see another Portuguese coach here again.
Easier life is unfair - I’ve worked in shithouse, toxic companies and it’s awful, no matter what the pay is
Stop looking at just the results! It’s maddening. We never had matches this bad in 14/15. We were never bottom of the league in nearly all attacking categories (even before Kane got his run in the team).
Shaky, Rocky, inconsistent in that early period, but I never put it on Pochs methods.
Don't think he should be sacked just yet tbf.
The problem with football these days, and it is wider than Spurs, is that replacing a squad is far more expensive than replacing a coach.
You end up with a state situation when the coach has lost the dressing room and no matter how good that coach is, he can't get them back onside. It happened to Poch, it happened to prime Mourinho in the early Chelsea days. It happens. I suspect eventually it'll happen to Pep and Klopp too. Probably Klopp sooner because Liverpool can't recycle the squad as regularly as City.
So the cheap solution is sack the coach and hope the next one can get the squad back onside.
Our problem is that everyone apart from the idiot Levy can see our squad is past redemption. No one is going to make the dross play better. The only way back from this mess now is an absolute guarantee from Levy that the squad get's a full overhaul no later than January.
The pain is 2 fold. The shit we have isn't worth what Levy thinks it is. So he's going to have to suffer the indignity of selling it for peanuts. But then the quality we need to replace it is going to cost a lot in fees and wages. He's going to have to take the risk. Fuck FFP. Fuck Covid. Pay it.
What people don't seem to get with FFP is that you can over spend. You have 3 years to re-balance the books.
Do it. instead of going for D list players, get the A-list ones.
This. Even before the losses, it was bad to watch. I was getting so irritated with fans who credited the defence for clean sheets when they were still bumbling around the pitch like blind 3 legged donkies half the time.
No A-lister is coming to Spurs. You saw it with players like Kounde and Pau Torres. The status of club is that damaged now.
Gut it out and rebuild with young promising youth. It’s our only option now
I was saying that he would perhaps have an easier life if he stayed at Brighton than at Spurs where the expectations are higher
Don’t you support Spurs then?
I do. Just sick, tired and frustrated with all thats going on.!!! Sack Nuno and who comes? Will it be more of the same?
I'm not just looking at the results, I said he was the wrong appointment and would have sacked him on Sunday night. It's just interesting that it took a little while for the positive results to arrive for Poch.
Should have said he didn't start. Thanks.
With Poch you could see us going in one dircetion, having a mentality. With Nuno we have no plan on how to win games...
Because it was obvious from patterns of play during games that all Poch needed was the time to get the right players to implement his methods consistently. His default approach earned that show of faith.
I was very impressed with his Southampton team in games against us in 13/14 and we beat them both times.
By contrast, when Wolves came to the ENIC arena, they were horrible and it just confirmed that I wanted no part of Nuno’s nonsense.
