How come?In fairness we need to realise where we are, we have no money to spend other than what Kane’s sale will bring in.
Come on. This search has been an utter shambles and after 10 weeks we've appointed someone we could have had 5 weeks ago, who we were so interested in 3 weeks ago we were happy for him to go to Palace. You can't gloss over this and accuse people of melting. Fans have a right to be angry. The lack of leadership and direction would have seen heads roll in any other business.
Right now I reckon we'll finish below the usual suspects, as well as Leicester, Everton, West Ham, Woolwich and Leeds, in no particular order.
I can't believe there are people that actually think we might scrape 4th, and that the worst that might happen is 6th.

Believe me. He plays negative football!Interesting hearing this all play out on Talksport atm.....
Spurs fans all phoning in are moaning about the style of football.... Yet, much like in seasons past the host/pundits are baffled and think Nuno plays good football.
The disconnect is fascinating.
theres a reason only palace and fenerbache were interested. and even they steered clear in the endLukewarm on the Nuno appointment. Good coach, nice guy, hate the Mendes link, worrying patches of form where the football became dire, patches of good entertaining football that people seem to be overlooking, very competitive vs top 6 sides. It is what it is.
Embarking on a Wolves 19/20 rewatch tonight at some stage. Might focus on bad results vs poor teams.
What a fucking idiot you are.No you fucking cuck, I won’t get behind any fucking shit appointment that bald worm and his acolytes wants put me up to.

Nothing at all.What’s the difference between this appointment and Pochetinho in 2014 over DeBoer after not securing Van Gaal?
Or is that the gripe
The so called melting is because of the whole incompetent process to end up with an uninspiring choice who plays functional football. Levy didn't seem interested early in the process and a 2 year contract shows there is no faith or confidence there. It's born out of desperation with pre season starting in 5 days.This whole saga doesn't make Nuno any more or less able as a manager.
You know what to do, see ya.
Trying to picture Nuno holding a trophy, but all my crystal ball sees is fog.
