It's not hard to run out of something when you never had it to start with.Team A and team B both fluffed their lines again. Nuno has run out of ideas!
Shocking statistic losing all 4 derbies so soon and being humiliated in the first 3.

Agree. Neither would get us anywhere near to matching Poch, but then neither would Klopp or Pep based on the fact Levy the leach is still in charge.I think we could convince Rogers. I think he's slimey enough to be paid to leave.
I do agree that Daniel Greedy and ENIC have become very known now and getting a top level coach to come is going to be hard. But I don't put Rogers at the top. He's much better than Nono though.
We're not gonna get Conte or Zidane or the likes of Touchel, Naiggelsman or Flick when they were available, because they had top jobs lined up. But Spurs are a bigger club that Leicester and Brighton.
Funny thing was, at the start of this mess, I wasn't fussed about Rogers or Potter, but given what we ended up with, I'd fucking get on my knees and beg one of those 2 to come.
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.
The problem is they could have got Conte but Levy and Co are clueless and have no plan. The fact is Levy’s plan has always been to increase revenue and that is how we were going to compete but Chelsea, City and PSG have made that plan redundant because they can outspend everyone because they have owners willing to put billions into the club. Levy and Co appointed Nuno because their is half a hope that someone better may come available (Poch). The fact is we appointed someone completely incapable and if most fans knew we were going to appoint him we would have gone for about 50 managers before him and for me that includes Ryan Mason.I think we could convince Rogers. I think he's slimey enough to be paid to leave.

oh ffs will you get over him ?!? You sound so sad and traumatized, maybe it would be reasonable to seek some helpSame Mourinho who lost 6-1 to a team from the same league where Solskjaer was racking up trophies?
You missed out £30m for Sissoko and whatever it was for Sanchez.Levy 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 ride and he's parted good 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 and often bites off his nose to spite his face at the expense of having a decent team.
Some of the anti-Jose crew are ridiculous, he lost on a fake pitch to rest players before Napoli, who dropped their first points in 14 games in Serie A yesterday when Roma had the better chances.oh ffs will you get over him ?!? You sound so sad and traumatized, maybe it would be reasonable to seek some help? So that you would not start shaking and rageing every time someone dares to mention "the one who shall not be mentioned"... whose club sits comfortably in position to progress from the group with 3 point advantage, unlike us
?
Sissoko was only so expensive because we were fighting off Chealsea and Real Madrid in a bidding war.You missed out £30m for Sissoko and whatever it was for Sanchez.
If I knew how the following months would transpire I would never have wanted Jose out, having said that, if I had known how the following years would transpire I would never have wanted Poch out!Some of the anti-Jose crew are ridiculous, he lost on a fake pitch to rest players before Napoli, who dropped their first points in 14 games in Serie A yesterday when Roma had the better chances.
He is twice the manager Nuno is and it wouldn't surprise me if he did well at Roma despite being a 'dinosaur/toxic' etc. Sacking him (before a Cup final etc.) to end up with Nuno in was a poor decision whatever way you want to look at it.
They're obsessed, he's gone and is still hadly ever out of their posts.

Eh?Sissoko was only so expensive because we were fighting off Chealsea and Real Madrid in a bidding war.
Sanchez had one good season in the Eredivisie so was clearly worth that price tag. Same goes for Janssen
If I knew how the following months would transpire I would never have wanted Jose out, having said that, if I had known how the following years would transpire I would never have wanted Poch out!
I was vehemently for Poch going, I genuinely fell into the trap of thinking our squad was great and he was underachieving by not winning anything, and I still think we should have silverware to show for that stint tbh... but he was right in that the squad needed refreshing and whilst he was far from perfect, I would much rather see how he would have fared with the investment afforded since his departure than those we moved on to. And he had earned it too.
Having said that, I fail to see how even Daniel Levy could preside over a further appointment that would be any more disastrous than Nono, so I am firmly Nono out.
If he is so good why will he be out of a job soon at a club like Lazio who are kind of a Serie A Tottenham.Sarri may be out of the Lazio job soon.
Food for thought. I get that he is former Chelsea but a Sarri that is allowed to shape the team as he wants can produce some fantastic football.
Sacking Poch was still the right move at the time. Things were just not working any more. The after effects have obviously not been ideal but I would probably still have sacked him. But I would have gone in a different direction than Jose to replace him.If I knew how the following months would transpire I would never have wanted Jose out, having said that, if I had known how the following years would transpire I would never have wanted Poch out!

Because he is beefing with some of his players. Out soon may have been a stretch on my part. But the reports out of Italy were of him questioning if the players wanted him out after yesterday's defeat to Hellas.If he is so good why will he be out of a job soon at a club like Lazio who are kind of a Serie A Tottenham.
Never go back, it was stale under Pochettino with a better squad for at least a year.It was right for Poch to go when he did. He’d had enough and the team hadn’t won away from home for over a year.
Appointing Mourinho was the wrong move, then not sacking him when Tuchel became available was idiotic. Then that was compounded by sacking him and not having a replacement ready. Nuno was the wrong man brought in when we completely fucked everything up.
I think the only way back is to bring Poch back. Most of the players have gone. But he’s got to want to come back and we have to be proactive about is should he leave PSG (which isn’t guaranteed) before Man U get him.
