I always felt sheringham was a slimy cunt. I'm sure I heard a lot of fans stated he was a massive prick if approached as well. Full of himself etc.

Management Nuno out

Sheringham wasn't a fan.
Kane should have been sold. It's backfired like anyone with half an ounce of common sense could see it would.
Nuno stayed passive and pathetic in the whole thing no doubt. Bet he never once said he wanted Kane gone and 2 younger players in his place. Just "yes daniel" to everything.
Yeah spot on.
Have you met him?
I want him gone before the Villa game, I want us to win football matches but I'm worried that if we win that he will get more time, he needs to go now.
If he gets neither a result or performance against Villa i don't see how he survives. The main problem he has is that he has no support base, no fans wanted him so no one is invested, the players were all probably meh about it and even Levy seemingly had to be talked round. No one has got his back. Its harsh and possibly unfair but when you know you've made a mistake its best just tackling it early than just letting things drift.
In the aftermath I just think some of the players last few games couldnt be arsed. Enthusiasm and desire at zero. Defence is still shaky. Let wolves back in it being 2 nil up. Just need to win thursday and sunday and reset over international break.
Which probably means he’ll be offered a new contract this week
That's all he does, think he gets off on it tbh
Saw psg v city game. Guardiola outsmarted by poch again. Even though he has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal he will come back to us....hopefully. Grealish was shit. Just a poser.
No but how many times over the years has he said he had to leave us to go to man utd and hes a fan. Still getting mileage now out of it.
If we sack Nuno we should see if we can get Philippe Clement in. His Club Brügge side are playing great football and getting results against big teams. 1-1 vs PSG and just beat Leipzig.
I think everyone agrees that ultimately this is on Levy/Paratici more than Nuno.
The club was poorly run after Paul Mitchell left after the summer of 2016. Levy refused to delegate and hire a director of football during the stadium build. This led to the decline in 2018/19 and Poch getting sacked after the club spent £120m on guys for his system.
Then Levy finally got to catch his white whale in Mourinho, someone who even in his heyday probably wasn't a good fit for the club, and he was far past it by the time he came here. He was inevitably fired except we didn't even get a trophy out of it.
Then Levy promises to hire an attacking, progressive manager that works well with youth and then proceeds to not get any of the top candidates that fit this description (Ten Hag, Potter, Nagelsmann, Rodgers, Rangnick). He also fails to get big names like Conte or Poch. He finally hires a DoF in Paratici, who proceeds to go from Fonseca to Gattuso to finally Nuno.
Everyone knew what they were getting in Nuno. Paratici was clearly in charge of the recruitment this summer, and he brought these players that don't seem to fit what Nuno wants in a squad.
So yes, it's not Nuno's fault, but unfortunately he's the one that is going to get the axe at the end.
Ole is the perfect manager for the United board. The fans are so desperate for him to succeed that they refuse to even admit that he may be the problem right now and not the squad or recruitment.
Agree with you up to a point, everything you say about Levy being the problem is totally true.
But Nuno isn't up to the job either, his tactics and selections have been baffling to say the least, and I honestly don't think the players respect him at all.
If you aren’t a parody, I pity you.
I'm not defending Nuno, I didn't think this was going to work from the beginning. He's been played a bad hand from the club and has played it poorly. Nuno deserves plenty of blame (NLD was a crime against football) but it's not Nuno's fault he's an average manager. The fact that Paratici thought that he was THE GUY is a huge red flag.
I really like most of the player recruitment this summer, but Paratici's managerial search seemed to be A) Were they in Serie A last season? If not, then; B) Are they a Mendes client? Bonus points for both.
We lost to a guy in prison.
I think you're misunderstanding my tone. It's not meant to be confrontational. Just matter-of-factual.
Where did I say it was easy? What I'm saying is you seem to be making the argument that the Spurs aren't benefitting enough to make these events worth it. If that's your argument, perhaps you should have an understanding of what they're getting from it? Otherwise you're making an argument based on how you assume those questions will be answered.
It seems like you're criticizing the decision to hold these events, while admitting you don't know what they get from it.
THFC benefits through a reduced share of financing the new stadium. That means more money for staff, players, signings, etc. It's not rocket-science. I may not be able to give you a specific amount, but surely your understand that additional streams of revenue that can pay the loans down benefit THFC because THFC doesn't have to reduce THFC's budget even further to pay the loan back.
You're the one criticizing the additional events, or at least arguing that THFC doesn't benefit from them, so perhaps you should be the one to show how much or how little money they make?
You're basically telling me to prove you wrong, when you've admitted you can't even prove yourself right because you don't know how much they're making off the deal.
I responded to your question, you pushed back with:
You "can't see how" these events benefit the club because you're assuming that "the 2 boxers and their promotion companies are surely taking a large slice".
You have no idea what the contracts are, but are "sure" that THFC is not keeping enough to make it worth it. Based on what? What's your basis for assuming the boxers/promoters are "surely" taking a large slice?
Now you want to pretend like you're just asking an honest question? You're not. You're just complaining about something that is happening at the stadium while admitting to having no idea how much THFC benefits from it financially.
Thank you.
How do diapers play virtually same 11 as on Saturday and win 5-1 away at Porto. What do their players have in them that gets them to be up for it and have energy to go out play fast, pressing front foot ball?
Surely any decent coach can set their team up to press and be on the front foot. This doesn’t necessarily mean we have to play possesion football from the back but means like citeh and pool you keep the opposition penned in to their own half. We don’t really have defenders or great midfielders to play through the lines. Better to try and just play higher up the pitch.
