Agree- Poch used a more balanced and attacking midfield whereas AVB had 2 pure CDMs.

That isn't even what happened mate. It's way worse. The bloke was a patsy. He was told Not to play his preferred system. I was told he laid out what he wanted to do and Paratici told him directly no.
So he tried to accommodate the brief he was given and fell between it and what his method was. He had the most interference in team matters of any previous coach and because he wanted the job he took it. Meanwhile Paratici was waiting on Conte so he didn't really want Nuno to be too successful anyway.
It was a mess from beginning to end, but NES is still a better coach and tactician than the one we have. My partner who is an Italian says the Conte Paratici tango with Nuno in the middel is the kind of political manoeuvring that her country is renowned for. It's was brutal on Nuno so he was kind of owed today's,payback.
Double. FA and EuropaCup treble incoming
The biggest joke with Nuno was his system was 3-5-2 but he was told he had to play 4-3-3 because the fans wanted attacking football.
He failed, was sacked and Conte came in to play defensive 3-4-3
He's the perfect world scenario yeah. I imagine we will need to wait for that and its whether someone needs to come in short term because the situation is so bad.
We aren’t a big club, nor are we a top club anymore.
We used to be a big club, now we have a big stadium
I like you Richard but you have a crazy blind spot with this guy
And big revenues and big ticket prices, but not big player wages or big players
Fuck Ange. Fuck Levy. Fuck Lange.
But above all of that, fuck this purgatory cycle of nothing we are in. If you think that cycle is caused by the manager or solved by finding a new one then you are off your tits.
Yeah tbf I was unfair on him - was less an identity crisis and him specifically being told you need to play this style. Which is absolutely fucking mental.
It was never going to work here for Nuno. A panic hire because we couldn't get Conte who was tossed aside. Treated horrendously by our board and I bet he got a lot of fucking satisfaction out of beating us. Good bloke, never somebody who the fans could really get behind but he's perfect for Forest.
I think the fact that none of the other PL clubs with larger budgets look likely to replace a manager in the next 24 months (notwithstanding United, obviously) makes it hard for most managers to turn us down. None of those named want to be in their jobs in 2026 - if they are, they're more likely to see it turn sour, get sacked, and have to move down the food chain, not up.
Nagelsmann would definitely turn us down, can't imagine any manager would turn down the opportunity to manage their nation at the WC, particularly a nation which could certainly win. Can't imagine he'd give that opportunity up for anyone aside from City or Madrid and he'd be thinking very hard on those.
No, he just argues for the sake of arguing.
Is Romero getting a better move in the summer? No doubt he would want to leave, but I doubt there's Madrid interest anymore.
Back him off a pier.
You're right.
Big injury crises, big controversy, big jokes
Come on, I've backed a lot of what you've said in the past mate, but this is blatant nonsense.
Every Spurs fan i talk to wants them out, We're not going to be successful or even win anything with them at the helm.
Nagelsmann is a pipe dream under these owners as well mate.
None of those 3 you mentioned last longer than 18 months here. I hope for Iraolas sake he swerves the Levy conveyor belt
