did he have idea to start with ?Team A and team B both fluffed their lines again. Nuno has run out of ideas!
He’ll probably go with Mason & get the back room staff from the club , king etcI don't want the manager here
from Levy's point of view what would Levy get from sacking the manager and getting a caretaker in ?
cost in sacking the manager & his coaching team,
cost of new manager & coaches
to gain what top 6 ? how much is that worth ?
Levy only see's £'s and he wants to be seen as winner in every deal

I'm not saying Levy is winner in deals, as you say its mythLevy being an astute businessman and always the winner in every deal is the biggest myth in football. Basically it's all just media bollocks and I reckon Levy actually believes the hype.
Fact of the matter is it's a total myth - probably perpetuated by the man himself.
Being a nob to deal with doesn't make you an "Excellent businessman"
Levy gets rinsed on most deals
Janssen
Soldado
Adeybaor
Ndomble
Los Celso
Lamela
Clarke
Sessegnon
All of those deals have taken him for a fool and he's parted food money for a sea of mediocrity.
Tough negotiator - is he bollocks...... He's just got a rep for being shite to deal and work with.
People said it was only Vitesse when I said it was lunacy to not bring most the squad and that it signalled that no player who was playing on Thursday had a chance at playing this weekend. Then we have a lacklustre performance by our first 11 who could not be risked. Nuno is a complete doughnut and should never have been employed. The fact is Levy is clueless about everything relating to football but I am seriously questioning how he thought this would not be a disaster of an appointment.
Selecting the squad he did for the European game completely took the wind out of our sails after two good league performances. He should be building momentum and confidence yet by losing that game all he did was bring the squad back to square one.
He seems to make so many mistakes with the squad and team selection on a regular basis. It’s not like he’s a rookie, he’s an experienced manager and shouldn’t be doing it. He’s just out of his depth at a club our size and needs to be put out of his misery before the vitriol and things turn nasty for him.
That's his main problem. He has the mentality of a small club manager. At Wolves it doesn't matter if you lose a cup match by resting players, the priority is to survive in the league. He does not belong at a club that wants to win something.
He rested all our good players on Thursday, lost with a pathetic performance, then brought all of them back on Sunday and lost again with another pathetic performance. Whereas West Ham rotate 5 or 6 for their Europa match, won it, played all the big boys against us at the weekend and won. Who used their squad better? The only thing that's better than rest when it comes to keeping players fresh, is winning matches. Winning is better than resting. Nuno doesn't get it.
This squad is not the same squad as the one that failed PochI know some of the players are the same but the squad is different. The problem we have is that there is no plan or structure when building it or when selecting a manager. We ended up chosing a manger with no plan what we actually wanted.hmm so it’s Nuno fault?. Squad failed with poch failed with Mourinho failed with Nuno. Let’s face it royal and reguillon can’t defend. Moura should have been moved on years ago. Ndmobele is a burst. just cause you spend 40m on a player doesn’t make him brilliant ffs.
Maybe but again not a front runner for the job, not someone the club really wants, how much better could he do with the personnel we have?
Same Mourinho who lost 6-1 to a team from the same league where Solskjaer was racking up trophies?We only lost 5 derbies in Jose's entire time here and 3 of those were against Chelski...Nuno's lost 4 in 9 games.
Any manager with a half decent attacking blueprint would be better. Valverde and Favre a free agents as we speak.Maybe but again not a front runner for the job, not someone the club really wants, how much better could he do with the personnel we have?

Results FC have not learnt a single thing from the Mourinho debacle. The exact same warning signs are there.
What I'm saying, is I don't believe there was a list of best to worst in any order.So that means Nuno was quite high up the list, if true , which I don’t believe, but that is even worse.
It's not just about big money it's about working for ENIC. Someone like Rodgers would never leave Leicester to come to us. We sack Mourinho a week before a cup final to avoid paying him a bonus and replace him with a novice. What kind of message does it send out? Every manager they employ ends up disappointed at the way they do transfer business. This kind of shit adds up, word gets around.
