Why is Nuno moving like some try hard lol, it's the Saudi League bro, no-one's gonna follow your tactical instructions especially Balon D'or winners, just get your money and chill - these players are here for a pay day and bantz not to win the CL.

:sandro:
 
Nuno was ALWAYS hired to be fired --- as soon as Conte would say yes.

He was a calm, blank steward post-COVID/Mourinho-era.

We were top of the league after his first 3 matches and he won PL Manager of the Month. He would only last an additional 7 league matches before Conte would arrive and drop a huge deuce on Tottenham.

I do wonder what would have happened if Conte just decided he didn't want to take the Tottenham job.
 
Eddie Howe, Roberto Martinez or Brendan Rodgers.

The majority of fans would have hated all 3 of those at time of acquisition........ Howe would have likely proved doubters wrong..... I doubt the other 2 would.
Well but I guess my question is, would Nuno have been allowed to continue longer?

It's kinda hard to figure what the deal was with Conte between the seemingly favorable initial contact in June and when he actually took the reins.

Nah I think we'd have still pulled the plug at a similar point in time; with one of the above saying yes instead.

He said in a TS interview that he wanted a few months to clear his head after things got messy at Inter..... We came back in Nov (?) and he felt ready.

But we were very publicly the ones who pulled the plug in the summer, to Conte's public bemusement.

Very, very weird saga from front to back.

It's why I'm dying for Lloris and Dier to be shown the exit door.

From the day the dodgy wiring story broke the lid on what everyone could see was a nowhere-near-ready stadium, which was also the end of the first summer in Premier League history before or since where a club didn't buy a player, the club has just been spiraling in an ongoing nervous breakdown, that's the only term that can describe it.

We've turned like 95% of the page, gotta finish the job.

I think this might be one of those occasions where "publicly" means that club were doing X or Y behind the scenes are were doing nothing "publicly" at all...... Just cos the media catch wind of something and subsequently do their media thing; it doesn't mean things are operating "publicly".

Conte said what I ref'd a day or two after being hired..... Fuck knows what the true truth was; but that's the most direct and public source on the matter.
 

Nuno knew he couldn't manage Benza.

Too elite for his mid tactics.

Will get called out.

This is the kind of shit that's inevitable when everyone's jumping in, solely for the money.

Benza should really just keep schtum and grab the bag, tho, tbf.

I mean... he's won everything.

Just collect that mega pension and go live on a yacht, or some shit, and enjoy your life, son.
