My observation was based on what their teams offer, in defence and attack. I don't see much difference.
Nuno will be sacked in the morning. Mark my words. Reckon it will be on ssn at crack of dawn 2moz.
Probably got better things to thonk about.
The highlights of the new managers speech
"I am very happy with the squad we have here"
"We have a lot of gifted young players we are looking to develop"
"There will not be a lot of new signings as we believe the squad is strong"
"Harry Kane remains committed to the club"
"I believe that I can get the best out of Dele"
"Harry Winks is an important squad player"
"Dane Scarlett is the future of the club"
"It would be very hard to improve the squad in January"
"We will bring you back attacking football, its in our DNA"
"We will make you proud"

"The squad is kind of shit, I need to kick a bit of arse and anyone not properly committed can find the door"
We can but hope...
Nuno is out of his depth Ok but the overpaid players are not bothered- no effort no fight no leaders. Pity we didn't unload Kane to City - his lack of interest is unbelievable and Nuno won't drop him! He's a total passenger and a cancer on all the other team mates. Fabulous stadium but unfortunately very little atmosphere- even the fans chant lacks excitement. Compare that to the Kop and Anfield ....Moura and Son only 2 showing commitment to the Jersey.
Its not as if nuno will get thrown on the street. Will probably get a 10m or so pay off.
I’m very curious to see what Levy and Paratici come up with now. This has seemingly all gone down in a matter of hours, so the likely hood of it being a well thought out replacement would be quite low. Not that time would have any impact on their decision based on last summer.
Either way I’m ready to eat some serious plates of crow

Not bad, 3 months work. 10 games. Probably bounce into another job somewhere else after a bit of a holiday. Nice work if you can get it.

You just know the announcement will be at dawn.
You write the press releases then?
This is the hilarious thing. It’s a lottery win and was the minute he said yes to the job. He seems a nice bloke but he’s no manager of a club with ambition. His teams rarely win games by more than a goal. They aren’t exciting to watch at all. He gets hammered against decent clubs even with mediocre managers.
And he walks out of our club with a fucking lottery win of a pay off. Levy needs his bumps reading for even appointing the man.
Sounds like the exact thing's Mason would say ,....but the last line Mason would say we will do our best to make you proud .
If you listen carefully you can hear the carpenters working on the gallows
nah.
guy was literally given a caretaker contract. I’d be amazed if his salary was more than 1.5m a year with ridiculous bonuses.
at best, at very best he walks away with 2.5m
I always though that it would be a good combo having a "Proper Manager" with Roy Keane alongside him as assistant coach - like a sergeant major type role.
Some of our players need to be read the riot act and pushed out of their comfort zone. It's got too easy for them to just coast by knowing that no one is going to call them out.
First thing the new manager should do is ignore any questions about Kane and make some kind of statement that all 23 players are as important to the club as they want to be and that no one will get any kind of preferential treatment.
We've sucked up to Kane for too long, like some pathetic teenage boy trying to keep his hot girlfriend, only for her to treat him like shit every time.
Can't be good for the rest of the squad with managers fawning over him every time his name is mentioned.
Can I have a go please, I'd be happy to come out of retirement for three months, if I get a nice payoff.
This might be me tomorrow:
Surely I can't do any worse?
