Nah, f**k him he’s dead to me.
The end of last season really wasn’t great and he didn’t look like he had much of clue how to change it, i loved last season overall but Im definitely not misty eyed for Nuno.

Oh no I agree, just makes me angry seeing him.
I do agree though, he'd been found out last year, his teams very much have a ceiling and we briefly burst through it. They do also have a good floor and I imagine he'll keep West Ham up. I hope its not at our expense!

I'm pretty neutral towards Nuno and West Ham and want to avoid any pointless rivalry.
There's a few different opinions regarding Nuno and his departure doing the rounds and I don't think many people are disputing the other opinions even if it isn't their own.
We need to focus on ourselves now.

Indeed, probably been done to death now, think we all know where everyone stands on the scale of dead to me to best manager since Clough

Why did Nuno sub Somerville? He had the beating of the fullback. Only turned on late but commentator said he’d been their best player.
It's what Nuno does. Switch out Somerville for CHO or Elanga and you've got 85% of our games last season.

But he will get the best out of those players e.g Bowen - Summerville - fullbacks. They actually looked like us last night and it is familiar - comforting even. It’s predictable - compact and works to a template to get the best out of certain profile of players. Anges style is none of that and that makes me anxious - perhaps not entirely fair of me…

Me neither. Nuno's a good coach and I enjoyed him being with us but I'm not mourning the loss of the guy as he clearly looks after no1 and doesn't give a S**t about us.
To his credit he found a formula that was successful for 2 thirds of the season but the record shows it fell apart at the end, and we became a team struggling to get wins. That's carried on into this season and Nuno has to bear a lot of the responsibility for that despite his mutterings. It looks to me like EM and Edu realised the the team & approach had to change to enable the club to continue to grow and it looks like Nuno wasn't interested in that agenda. He's got his system, which is sound, and anything beyond that is not for him.

Agreed.
It was a weird Summer with West Ham trying to sign Sangare, Mangassa and Fernandes, all players Nuno wanted.
We just need to move on.

Comfortably beat Brentford, drew with currently 3rd place palace - continuation of poor results?
Change in approach accepted, I truly hope that call is correct, as we all do. At present it looks like self-harm

For two thirds of the season, Nuno took a team from 17th to 3rd, finishing 7th was still an incredible achievement with few changes to the first team.
Whilst he has clearly tarnished his legacy with Forest, doesn't diminish the performance last year.
Surely everyone would've just preferred that Nuno said nothing in the summer and therefore was still in charge?

Exactly, I don't know where this narrative of things needed to change is coming from, it's not just pap tbf. It's like we finished 16th. It's up there with fluking an entire season.
Wholly accept that toys out of the pram led to sacking. If it was felt a change of approach was needed then that's fine, big man pays the money to have the right to do that but it's risky when prem going other way (far more pragmatic)
