He was a goalie and a shit one at that. Wolves have had some excellent players at his disposal and they still tanked

Because he's not an attacking coach...
He was out of his depth and overwhelmed by the size of the job. He could go and do a good job somewhere else, the way David Moyes is now with the Spammers after his short sojourn at Old Trafford. I hope he does bounce back. He’s a decent fellow.
I do feel a degree of sympathy for him. Our players are in the main just a horrible shower and did their utmost to undermine him from Day 1. Whoever comes in has to just shred that squad. Quite apart from the fact, they’re not very good, it’s just full of players of questionable character and temperament.

I'm not sure you can simply attribute racism to this. Paratici should have got Hitchen's office without a doubt, with Nuno getting the manager's office. But it's not because he's black. That's a very outlandish statement.
Please tell me you're on a wind up...
Ridiculous to assume racism. Get proof or stfu
The whole notion of Nuno being a black manager seems to have gone almost entirely un-discussed which is a little odd.
It doesn’t seem to be something Nuno himself seeks to discuss, which is his right I suppose.
And he of course identifies as Portuguese and played internationally for Portugal despite being born and raised in then-independent Sao Tome and Principe.
Well, we hardly knew ye on that and many other levels.

Sad for him, but his football was dull. I guess it’s the difference between coaching a mid-table team with mid-table players and a team with the pressure of crazy expectations. Rightly or wrongly, Levy et al clearly expect to be back at the top table soon enough and the pressure of that means little or no sympathy.
Unlike most here, I had time for Jose, but he clearly got a lot longer than Nuno based on reputation rather than results.
If it is Conte, he’ll probably also have high expectations (though where to go from there is another question…?)

Maybe he doesn’t view it as a thing, I think he maybe mixed race or whatever, no one cares. He’s a nice guy just not a top manager.
At worst this would be proof that Paratici is a man with a huge ego who now has massive power at the club, nothing here suggests discrimination unless you're making tremendous leaps in logic, which you should never, ever do with those kind of accusations.
Could you imagine a meeting between Conte, Levy and Paratici? How could you squeeze all that self-importance into the same room.
Genuinely hadn't even crossed my mind.
I think most people don't give a fuck what colour he is tbh.
The club made sure to bring it up for some diversity thing recently funnily enough.
Hughton was caretaker for like five minutes so Nuno wasn’t the first I suppose.
Maybe this is a bit of American cultural difference at play but I was surprised it wasn’t brought up more.
I assume that’s the way he wants it.
It’s not relevant
It was outrageous our supporters were booing Nuno. Where were the boos at Mason or Jose? I wonder why? I almost shed a tear.
Nowhere because of lockdown? Like wtf?
Bit of a blow...can't change my username until February!
