New Manager Search *BACK ON*

[Alan]

From the man who played the Superfan card earlier? Really?

And it doesn't matter how many games you watch, it's how much you understand the game you're watching.

I know Alan does.

I was excited about signing Yannick Sagbo so I think this comes with a massive grain of salt.

How could you not love his little face

Nuno was always better with a well kept beard, it all went to shit when it went shaggy. Lessons needs to be learned

 

[Tredman]

I mean, that probably correlates with Covid and barbers being closed.

 

[Lupo]

Not seeing his wife too. Remember him saying his beard was always neatest when Mrs Nuno was about. What was his pet name for his beard, 'the mess' was it?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Interesting how when I read (variations of) The positivity that will rise; the racket around the ground as the first goal goes in, when the ball hits the back of the net and Nuno goes fist pumping like no other manager does... My heart quickens.
That's it. Right there. He'll have us eating out of his very humble hands.
For at least 3 weeks....

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Can you imagine being Nuno?
5th choice at Spurs, then.... for Fuck's sake... 4th choice at my beloved Wolves....
It's not gonna end well.
Look at the tone of the last 5 pages on here, imagine if Nuno reads these, then 'Joe Soap' gets appointed.... very sad...

I've been informed that we spoke with Dyche today.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Nuno
Dyche
Gallardo
Lopetegui

Scattergun approach

Ring... ring... ring.....



"Hi its Sean Dyche"

"Piss off"

My use of Spurs was to highlight how inept they were in their handling of their situation, right from the sacking of a serial trophy winner 5 days before they had a chance of winning a trophy

Thought it was openly out there they didn’t want Mourinho in charge as if he won there was a massive financial penalty (bonus or extension, can’t remember. Levi also didn’t want him to have any credit). Basically they didn’t want him and didn’t like him. Cut your nose off to spite you’re face.

They got to number 9 on their list before they got their man and he was the wrong one.
They had 2 accept it then turn it down and 1 accept it and then they had to retract it because the fans went mental at the thought of the appointment.

Not sure what relevance this has. If you aim high and people don’t want the job what can you do. Better to aim high and miss as they say and your allowed to spend/waste time in June…

Its not to excuse us from being shit but whichever way you look at it, they were appalling in their manager hunt.

Better to aim high a miss… got one of the highest profile names in the end.

As it stands though, we have identified a clear number 1 and went all in on him but he said no (by all accounts for reasons we can't control).

Don’t agree but TT covered that.

Not having a defined 2nd choice is appalling though and to start a "normal" manager hunt In October, when you are deep in the shit and have a pile of games coming up being led by a man who last managed at Crewe is shit.

See you can do it

Palace's manager hunt before they got Patrick was shit

Was it? Again the summer, weren’t desperate on got the job done.

Everton's manager hunt before and including getting Rafa was shit

If we’re comparing ourselves to Everton we’re in a lot of trouble. Incompetent club with financial clout is better than incompetent club with less financial clout.

Our manager hunt is shit but with added we are being shit at the worst possible time, rather than before pre-season starts.

So basically you posted loads of words comparing apples with oranges, and the comparisons to Spurs are in fact wrong?

Did Spurs really aim that high before employing Nuno?

Would you take the current Valencia boss (and not in a him v Lage situation because its not about that anymore). The man who they had to retract their offer for. Intact thinking about this, a lot of their manager search leading up to Nuno was done because they got into bed with Jorge for a bit
Although you think i am comparing when in fact I am just saying their search for manager was inept and we are not alone in the area of being shit at the process.
Conte was a new search though, which wasn't inept but I doubt we would accept replacing Lage with an appointment that needs binning after 4 months.

Seems a pointless discussion though as we start in the same place, head off in different directions and then meet in the same place at the end and nod at the outcome.

Had a look as I couldn't remember who they went for!

Mixed bag that swung from the likes of the dude now at Bayern to Potter to Gattuso to Rodgers to Martinez to Fonseca, tried to get Poch back and ended up with Nuno.

For the record not comparing but that is a bit looking at the bookies odds and moving down the list until the 33-1 chance says yes

All I said was Spurs (or the other sides that have been mentioned) dicking around in the summer is not the same as us dicking around mid season in the relegation zone in awful form with a crucial run of games coming up.

You’ve even stated you agree with this so I’m not actually sure what the point in your post disagreeing with me was?

Oh thats easy to answer.

I did a post which was simply looking at a few other teams and how jumbled/shit their search for a manager was.
A while later you mentioned comparing other teams searches for a manager is wrong, referencing my comment.
So I pointed out I wasn't and since then we have just shared a few passive aggressive posts for absolutely no reason other than we are bored of this shit attempt to find a new a manager (much like Spurs fans were...)

They were in the summer. We are not.

That is the point I was marking. Saying they are similar is wrong

I’m not meaning to come accross aggressive in any way I’m just baffled by your continued attempts to argue a point I haven’t made to justify a convoluted managed hunt in a portion of the season where there is no rush is the same as convoluted manager hunt in the middle of the season where there are imminent and catastrophic consequences when you don’t actually believe it yourself?

 

[Tony Towner]

The second column in as many weeks from JP which has the players don't give a fuck vibes. I think today will go a long way to showing whether he's right.

I'm not actually saying what you think I am.

My general musing on other teams is not to compare and I have even said that but you keep coming back with STOP COMPARING.
The only reason I originally replied was to say I am not comparing and now we are stuck in this circle of pointlessness

 

[Tredman]

Having caught up on the last few pages I have no fucking idea what either of you are on about.

If he’s having a dig at a lack of leadership as well as players with one eye on leaving then it doesn’t paint Neves in a great light.
