Wouldn’t have been my choice but welcome Nuno and good luck.
Levy please back him properly.

Meh...
Anyway, I wish Nuno well and I hope he succeeds at our club, I can only hope for a positive outcome.
Hope is all we have at this point.

A football manager with a beard?! Now I've seen it all.

The City fixture first game might work out ok for Nuno. He can play defensively, counter attack, might even nick a result. Nobody will criticise him too hard either way.
If we played some shite like Burnley and struggled to break them down first game, that'd make a much worse atmosphere around the club.

My whelm has never been so under!
It is what it is and of course I'll support him as manager. I actually quite like him, but not sure he's what we need at this point.
However, what do I know, I wasn't that impressed with Poch to start with!

I believe our second game is Wolves away so he has a big chance to get the fans onside early on with an attacking approach against his old team.
Totally agree. This is the cheap and easy option. Levy doesn't give a toss about the club or the supporters, just making money and holding onto power. He is destroying the club.
Very underwhelming appointment for me. I’ll back him of course, but I think he’s the wrong choice and won’t bring the attacking entertaining football I’d like to see.
The words from Levy and Paratici fill me with dread too and imply that they’re not playing on making many changes in the player department.
Paratici said
“You only have to look at Nuno's time at Wolves to see his ability to take a group of players and implement an adaptive style that brings success and allows players to develop and thrive,"
and Levy said
“I've spoken already about the need to revert back to our core DNA of playing attacking, entertaining football, and [managing director of football] Fabio [Paratici] and I believe Nuno is the man who can take our talented group of players, embrace our young players coming through and build something special."

I’ve been very negative about Nuno, but am fully backing him now.
One way to ensure a more attacking style of play with 3 at the back is buying a genuinely attacking RWB.
Doherty may have been good enough at Wolves, but he’s not technically good enough, or fast enough, to be starting for us.

I would have taken Wenger ahead of Nuno
So, do you think that the club has demonstrated a successful policy of manager selection in the past?
In my opinion, since enic took over they have made 2 good choices, and they sacked both of them because they didn't back them with players that would make the team better, and take the club on.
Redknapp and Pochettino (edit, maybe Jol on charisma but his win ratio was dogshit)
Maybe, if - instead of looking at Mourinho's global "status" we see it as a broken decision to employ a cheque book manager to hide a shit decision, (to save face..... ) we can look at the decision to take Nuno on as another "left field" break that actually transforms the club with a fresh approach.
Redknapp and poch were both unexpected successes, maybe if Levy looks at where he went wrong in the past, and takes on a manager and backs him, instead of blaming him for failure caused by fiscal parsimony, then maybe Nuno can get the success we all want.
Go glass half full on this.
Let’s back the manager.
Pressure should be on Levy now to buy an attacking RWB.
