If we can be in Europe league contention by January and then get a couple more players in, rid of one or two ie WInks, Ndombele .... get a back up CF and a decent hard working proper ATM player.
Let's face it, we looking at Europa league position as our goal this season.

Levy won't sack him a month after winning manager of the month, he's impulsive but he's not an idiot, those wanting him gone just just have to wait when his position becomes completely untenable...if he sacked him now what kind of message does that send to prospective managers who we want to bring in.
Do you think he's sticking with Kane due to the lack of another CF (Scarlett too young) or do you think he'd put Son as CF but Paratici/Levy demand Kane plays, after rejecting the bid from City?
We're nowhere near that. Nowhere near it!
An idiot WOULDN'T sack Nuno. An idiot wouldn't ever have allowed him to be hired.
Regarding point 2, the message has already been sent out. The only recovery now is for Paratici to be thrown under a bus and blamed for everything then Levy lie through his lying teeth claiming he was trying to stay out of it.
Nuno should start playing the lads that can the job for him now. A bit like Pochettino with Mason and Bentaleb in his first season...and then Dier and Alli in his second...
Fuck that shit of giving the big names yet another chance...if he's fucked he might as well throw caution to the wind and give the lads that want it a real go...

I'd rather have had Conte, I'd even rather have had Fonseca than Nuno, now that we have him, I think it's no good to sack him after 6 matches unless we have someone decent lined up.
The midfield has to be Skipp & Højbjerg with either Ndomeble, or Ali further up until we get someone in as ATM in January.
Also we don't know if the long ball game he tried against the Asregoons wasn't Paratici leaning in telling him what to do... we don't know if Levy and Paratici are interfering with team tactics and selections.

Well we are where we are, we hired him and he's our problem now so we need to own it and the club need to take accountability, sacking him after 6 matches and 3 months is beyond ridiculous by anyone's standards.
You think we struggle to get new managers in now, it's gonna be far worse if we sack him or Paratici now, we are a joke establishment and will become even more a of a joke if we rip up and start again now, we gotta ride it out.
We ended up near it last season.
We will go down if we stand by him.
Better squads than ours have gone because they refused to act.
When we had Bale scoring 16 goals in the 4 minutes of football.
When we had Kane scoring and assisting aprox 45 goals and was well up for it.
When we had a 2nd striker even if he was a bit of a donkey
When we had an aged, but still decent Alderwiereld
When we had a shit coach with a lot of experience in how to win games and a squad that at least for a while, bought into it.
This season we have none of that. None of it. We haven't played well in a whole game all season in any competition. In most cases, we've been as bad as I remember at any point of my 27 years following Spurs. And that includes times like conceding 6 and 7 Vs Chelsea and Newcastle
That's a long way into the future you have predicted.
I don’t even want to win games anymore, I just want to see us attack and try and control a game, we’ve watched absolute passive shite for 2 and a half years now, we’re spurs ffs
So we've had a bad start to the season, whooope doo...
We now have the best defender from the top Italian league
We have a better RB than Aurier
We got rid of Sissoko
We don't have Jose the manager that so many here hated
Kane is acting like a twat, but that may not continue
Jose's experience at winning games was to throw away leads al too often.
Ended up with Mason's mates.
I don't think we're a worse team this season, we've just had a poor start except the City match, and half of Chelsea match.
Anyway I didn't say we're going into Europa positions but that is probably our goal, rather than CL positions etc. So the BEST we can hope for is 7th or 6th imo.
West Ham 01/02 finished 7th and had a decent squad that Redknapp left them with from the prior season.
West Ham 02/03 went down with the same squad because Roader didn't know what he was doing and they didn't act.
In a weird opposite - Newcastle were relegated in 08/09 because they spent the whole season being managed by a different idiot every month. They had Coloccini, Enrique, Owen, Martins, Alan Smith, Butt, Viduka and Carroll in that squad.
Not acting appropriately can lead teams that, on paper, aren't bottom 3, to end up there.
Least we won more than we lost under Borinho. It wasn't pretty but no one was begging for him to be sacked after 6 games.
So what happens if we sack Nuno, employ Eddie Howe and continue to be shit?
What happens if we get someone who actually knows what they're doing? Might not be Howe, might be.
We can all see the game passes Nuno by every week. He's the most passive coach I've ever seen. Pick players, when the whistle goes watches a film on netflix on his phone.
My prediction is Kane gets untracked and scores some goals, the team wins a few games now and again, and management uses the occasional success to rationalize keeping Nuno the rest of the season. Under pressure people revert to their established habits and, in Nuno's case, I think he'll try get back to his defensive stategies and play games not to lose. It will be boring, it will be unproductive, and it will set the team back a year but that's where we are. And I think Kane will get his wish in the next transfer window. Levy will keep Paratici, keep Nuno until the off season, and write it all off as a rebuilding year.
This is the major problem. The Conference League could keep this clown in a job.
