Losers mentality.It’s 6 games. Even if it was 20 games I would say he needs a chance. He and Paratici haven’t had a full transfer window, he hasn’t had a full season. Two Of the star players want out, they wanted out before his appointment. it’s a tough gig.
We need to back him. At least for the season. Minimum.
Anyway, what manager would come to our club if we haven’t got results / performance after 6 games? Real Madrid and Barcelona can chop and change with the wind. We can’t and shouldn’t.

It’s not about results. It’s about his suitability for the job at this club. His principles of football, his personality. I look at the team and aside from the first match against City, I don’t see a team that enjoys being on the grass and I don’t see a head coach who enjoys being in the dugout at this club. The fit doesn’t look right.
It’s exactly like Carragher said on MNF with the comparison to Hodgson at Liverpool. Nobody can dispute Nuno is a good manager. But does he suit Tottenham? Can he handle the scrutiny of his work that comes with managing a big club? You manage Wolves and lose 3-1 trying to hoof the ball away at Woolwich, nobody bats an eye. It’s Wolves. You can’t get away with that here.
That's assuming a Tuchel style manager wants to come to us. I wouldn't count on that happening.Well, silver lining: it's shaping up that if a Tuchel-style manager becomes available through being sacked, we'll likely be poised to snap them up.
We got fucked last season by Mourinho having us be too consistent to get sacked around Christmas while Chelsea binned Lampard and made a masterstroke. Doesn't look like we'll be too good to change manager any time soon.
Le pigs
A girl after my own heart! You know I love Chris Hughton and wanted him before Nuno, right?It's going to be difficult to recruit the right guy for us at this moment in time, we're in such a mess. I don't blame Nuno for taking the job, but he is so out of his depth.
Maybe we'd be better off getting a caretaker, say Chrissie Hughton, who can steady the ship, until we can get the right manager in. Then again, who in their right mind would risk their reputation under the current regime?

I think more and more people are seeing what its like to work under our owners, so unless they have a major change of heart on the way they do things, we we will struggle to find anyone.

That depends on the character of the manager. If he is willing to tell levy to fuck off and let him just get on with his job then it's fine.You say that, but if Bayern wasn't an option we would likely have got Nagelsmann and Conte was keen to talk to us in the summer.
Ultimately its a job where you are guaranteed to earn millions and work in London in the best stadium and training ground.....its really not a shit job

But levy wants to be involved in everything, you saw it in the amazon doc just casually walking into Jose's office.
I agree that it's not a shit job on paper, but there's more to it than money and working conditions, otherwise we would have landed a better candidate than Nuno, IMO.You say that, but if Bayern wasn't an option we would likely have got Nagelsmann and Conte was keen to talk to us in the summer.

I think the way that turned out did us more harm than good. I reckon other managers will look at that and think, naaah. Add that to the way we treated the bloke who we agreed terms with, whose name i cant remember(says it all!!) and we are not a team many decent proven mangers would want to touch with a barge pole imho.You say that, but if Bayern wasn't an option we would likely have got Nagelsmann and Conte was keen to talk to us in the summer.
If they do that, they have to provide a partial refund on season ticket fees. Yet again under these incompetent leaches, there would be no correlation on comparative value per season ticket vs ambition shown. I would expect around a 30-40% return back to ticket holdersIt's going to be difficult to recruit the right guy for us at this moment in time, we're in such a mess.

Nuno was probably the worst choice on a list of 250 or so alternatives. Keeping him because we can’t get Tuchel or Conte is nonsense, I’m not sure there is a worse manager available than this droneThat was primarily due to a lack of good candidates - let's not forget that Utd are still employing their original caretaker, and they have a virtually unlimited budget.
