They seem to hope to stumble upon a manager who works. There is no plan

Whilst they are clearly inept I just don't believe there isn't a strategy behind the Nuno appointment.

In the summer it was clear we needed the DOF place before that person bought in a manager of their choice. That however didn't prevent us talking to possible candidates in anticipation so we were armed with info for Fabio.

I believe this preliminary groundwork was blown out of all proportion by the media. Do I think the club handled it well? No. Have I lost hugest respect for Levy and ENIC this last couple of years? Yes.

So i'm not an ENIC/Levy fanboi but I can see how the situation escalated and became the circus it did
 
So basically he’s staying whilst we find a replacement for him and he’s aware of this.

Sure he and the players going to be really motivated for our next few games..

Nuno Espírito Santo is on the brink of being sacked by Tottenham Hotspur after talks with the board yesterday.

The club have lost faith in their head coach, who has been in charge for only four months and was booed during the 3-0 defeat by Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday. The fans also turned on Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman, after a seventh defeat in 17 matches in all competitions.

Levy is thought to be furious with the manner of the performance against United, whose manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is also under huge pressure. Should Tottenham dismiss Nuno he would have the shortest tenure of Levy’s nine permanent appointments.


Tottenham would be keen to re-hire Mauricio Pochettino, and an intermediary has also sounded out Antonio Conte. Both were among eight managers the club pursued to replace José Mourinho, before appointing Nuno on a two-year deal days before pre-season began.


Pochettino, 49, has been unhappy with the internal politics at Paris Saint-Germain but his position as head coach is expected to be decided by how he does in the Champions League and his side are on course to make the knockout stages.

Conte, 52, is out of work after leading Inter Milan to the Serie A title and has had interest from bigger clubs. The Italian would need to be persuaded to take a job mid-season, and talks with Spurs broke down this summer after Conte demanded significant financial backing to refresh the playing squad and challenge for trophies.

Nuno’s tenure has been embarrassing for Levy, who stated that the Portuguese could meet his pledge to restore Tottenham’s “DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football” and build “something special”.

In the league Spurs have not had a shot on target for two hours and 16 minutes, scoring only nine goals in ten matches. In the dressing room, a number of Tottenham players have not warmed to the head coach.

Spurs are in eighth place, five points outside the top four, and host West Ham United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals next month.

Nuno’s contract is said to include clauses that would allow the club to part company with him next summer without paying him any compensation.

Levy initially did not hold an interest in Nuno this summer and feared his style was too similar to Mourinho’s. Nuno’s case was pushed by Fabio Paratici, Tottenham’s new director of football, who showed Levy videos of Nuno’s Valencia side, who used a 4-3-3 system to press and attack aggressively.

Should Nuno leave, Tottenham would need an interim coach to take on Vitesse Arnhem in the Europa Conference League on Thursday before Sunday’s Premier League clash away to Everton.

The tweet is at odds with the first line of the article. Jacob hedging his bets I reckon

I hate Levy and think he’s completely incompetent, but I fail to see this is truthful…. I can’t believe even he would think this is the best option

This is absurd, you cant just drag on like nothing has happened, he's even more undermined than he was after the defeat. Sack him this morning, put Mason in charge for Vitesse and Everton and try and get a good manager done and dusted in the meantime.

So sack Nuno and put Mason in place for two games, then boot for another manager after the international break? I'm not sure that's better TBH.

Surely if he knows this he would leave for his own pride and self respect?

this would be unheard of, hopefully its bollox

He has to be gone now after yesterday, it's untenable
