Most will just say he was lucky.If we beat them tomorrow, Nuno will be crowned God.
So you're saying giving the job to our 8th choice after the first 7 told Levy to Fuck Off should fill us all with positivity?Are these really radical statements?
........You sure you're not just a bit drunk on negativity?
He's proved absolutely sweet fuck all at Wolves. He got sacked and won nothing and played pretty dismal football. Proving he's better than Arteta? If that's the bar we're setting him, god help us.Patronising much!?!?!
"Nuno is better tactically than Arteta and Solsjkaer. He’s proved this at Wolves."
"ambitious manager."

It's not "excessively rose-tinted" at all.
Style of play aside, anyone that says the bulk of his Wolves tenure was shit and that he's incompetent is just getting carried away and mugging themselves off.
The above was your reaction to the signing of Matt Doherty. Still diggin that one?I'm really diggin' this signing....
Hes's proved absolutely sweet fuck all at Wolves.
He got sacked and won nothing
Proving he's better than Arteta? If that's the bar we're setting him, god help us.
As for his ambition you know him personally do you?
He took a job here every credible candidate had fucked off and was willing to accept a 2 year deal. I would say that's an unemployed manager jumping into the first gig he got offered.
He's done nothing in his career to suggest he's a game-changer as a coach and fuck all to impress me thus far so i'm going to err on the side of caution.
It's lazy and very easy to post some super-optimistic bollocks about players and managers you know fuck all about
. I tend to err on the side of caution because given our recent history of total fucking bullshit in transfers and managers it's the more prudent approach.

LOLWhat was wrong with what I posted? Nuno is a good manager. He’s perfect for the rebuild and won’t throw his own players under the bus like Mourinho.
The problem is that ‘fans’ want instant success. We have played just four games, won 3 of them and was unlucky against Palace due to injuries.
Have some perspective at least.
If we beat them tomorrow, Nuno will be crowned God.
If he can move the calendar around like that he probably is a god.
I’d rate solsjkaer above Nuno. At least he tries to attackNuno is better tactically than Arteta and Solsjkaer. He’s proved this at Wolves.
We need to give him time and the resources to achieve his goals. It was never going to be easy taking over after Mourinho left the squad questioning their own abilities.
We have the stadium, talented new players, the best striker in Europe and a very hungry and ambitious young manager. Things aren’t as bleak as the media and our own fans will have us all believe.
Hasn't filled the squad with any by the looks of it.So you're saying giving the job to our 8th choice after the first 7 told Levy to Fuck Off should fill us all with positivity?

Did you just compare Nuno to Poch and Rodgers???Wolves are expected to win trophies are they now?
What's Potter won?
What's Brenton won?
What had/did Poch win?
Problem iI don’t disagree we have a good stadium and in certain positions some talented players
For me Nuno is an ok manager. My issue is this, if we are aiming for 5-8th this season I can live with it but what I struggle with is the style of football. Nuno is a Jose clone, that style can be eye bleeding.
If we aren’t aiming for that top then at least we need to entertain. If I or any fans pays their money they want some happiness, a 3-3 draw can be fun to watch particularly if the football gets you off your feet.
We have had Graham, AVB and Jose. They killed the fun, my fear is Nuno will do the same and Spurs fans, well at least the match day ones are very short if the manager can’t excite. That is what Nuno must overcome and overcome quickly more than results even in my opinion. Coming 8th playing great football will give him a longer reign than 6th playing Joseball.

Even worse, we've been boring.Problem i
you have some perspective you deluded nutter
weve been awful in every game
This is what people seem to miss.Even worse, we've been boring.
And thats including being bored of the football we played during Mourinho's time with us.
At least the circus surrounding Mourinho was entertaining.
