Nuno Espirito Santo
If he had walked at the end of the season he would have my respect. What he’s done…..f**k him.

Nuno has done us over but also the higher ups have clearly structured the transfer window either without Nuno in mind/and against what he said he needs to work with.

I have no sentiment towards Nuno but I'm not part of a cult that thinks Marinakis does no wrong.

Lot of people need to remember this ownership has had a lot of bad managers as well as good. Seen alot say the owners will get it right with ange.

For every Cooper, nuno, we have had an hughton and O'Neil.

Seen enough of spurs the last 2 years to know ange is up there with the latter. Really hope im wrong

That’s fine mate and although I’m hoping for the best I get where you’re coming from.

But please promise me you aren’t one of those hoping he will fail simply to say I told you so. Unfortunately there are a few of them about.

Ange has a very tough job to come into a new job, mostly new squad and disharmony behind the scenes.

On paper Hughton wasn’t a bad appointment. O’Neill was a placeholder until the summer. 
I think Ange is a risk, a really big one. It could potentially unravel all the good EM has done.

Yep, agree with all that. MoN was a really strange pick and the club realised they'd mucked up pretty soon after appointing him I reckon.

Karanka, O’Neil and Hughton were all experienced managers who should have probably done better.  Lamouchi was left field but did well first season (and helped get the atmosphere back) but sadly tailed off. Cooper enough said. Nuno likewise but so disappointed how it ended. Big Ange, guess we’ll see. Personally feel its a risk but not sure who else we’d have got that wasn’t a risk if honest as we weren’t gonna get Glasner, Iraola etc

And that's how Nuno screwed us. We might have got one of those, or Silva, if we had a vacancy early in the summer. Ive got a feeling Nuno's lack of engagement and eventual sacking is going to really hurt us this season.

Glasner or Iraola wouldn’t come to us I think regardless and Silva is overrated I think.

The whole Edu thing doesn’t stack up. Been a few articles now stating club sources not ever understanding why it was he took against Edu. It can’t be for not wanting Traore and Kirstianson when we ended up with better. You don’t take against a new colleague immediately and for no apparent reason whatever business you are in. Nuno needed to pick a fight to engineer an exit and Edu was the perfect excuse.

The way he went about it publicly was unforgivable and totally unprofessional. The timing was even worse.

Made my mind up, if he ever comes back to the CG with another club he’s getting dogs abuse from me.

What I saw suggested was he has a close nit coaching team, and when Edu came in saw that as a threat as we'd want to build our own with some roles in his belonging to club rather than head coach.

Makes perfect sense…

Where your argument falls down is that he knew Edu was coming in and the potential effect on the dynamic before he signed his new contract. Which leads me to conclude he acted deliberately.
