Did we? We'd conceded the same number of goals and scored 2 more. Early Poch was much more defencively focused than the football we got from 2015 on. The retrospective on Poch is, rightfully, heavily tinged by the great moments. But the club stuck by him through a rough start.

Again, not happy with Nuno and how things have gone. But sacking a manager after 9 matches is a bit much for me, especially when there's no one else to hire.

Poch in his time before he came here gave you reason to think that things could change.

Nuno before coming here was shit and played the exact same way we are playing now. There is zero reason to think that things will change under him.
 
For me, I mostly blame the coaching. There is no coordination among the attacking players in the midfield and final third, as if they never practice attacking patterns in training. And there is no in-match adaptation to exploit opposition tactics. These are coaching deficiencies.
 
The way I see it, we have two main approaches that we can take if we sack Nuno.

1: We go full youth movement and get Eddie Howe in (give him a 9 month contract with an option of a longer one if he gets Europe like someone suggested).

2: We go for a more established name like Valverde, who knows how to handle big egos and may scream more "ambition" at Harry, in hopes of getting him out of his funk.

Favre would be a decent middle ground manager to either approach.
 
while Nuno is a real average at best manager we have a much bigger problem with owners who will be staying around long after Nuno gets his pay off and and the following managers as well by the looks of things a very depressing prospect.

It needs to be someone who plays aggressive football and who the players will enjoy playing for. There are loads of managers who fit the bill.

Even Conte, it wouldn’t be elegant football but his warrior mentality would get the players juices flowing. Nuno doesn’t offer anything to them. It’s more boring Mourinho ball with an even more boring man giving the team talks. He doesn’t have any clout at all. He’s a manager who has won nothing and got sacked by Wolves for being boring.

I think that Valverde would work because his players like playing for him. Even if his style is not ultra attacking or aggressive, but it also isn't ultra defensive.

Conte would be a dream but I just don't see him working within our structure.
 
Not happy. But for context:


Pochettino was 11th at this point of his first season.

Pochettino at Southampton established a high press, entertaining team which had many of the qualities of a team Spurs fans want to see. He also went in hard and started making major changes early on when he arrived with us, so some turmoil was expected.

Nuno played shit on a stick football at every club he's ever been at, and has barely made changes lineup wise. There's no progression, no playstyle taking hold, just a void. There's zero reason to stick with Nuno the way we did with Pochettino, the precedent is there that he plays this kind of dire football.

The only valid reasons for keeping him are because we might put other managers off by sacking one this quickly, and the poor alternatives. I have zero faith in Nuno. None.
 
I think Levy is waiting for Poch to get fired, can't see why he hasn't acted already
If this is what he is doing then that is beyond the pale. That's not a strategy. That's actively regressing.

I love Poch as much as the next guy, but we need to be willing to move on and let him return organically instead of sitting around waiting for daddy to get home from the shop.
