Especially if he got 11/1 when he was “nailed on” for the Palace job.No doubt it's all ended well for Mendes though.
Get Nuno to Spurs. A 16 step Plan by Jorge MendesDoesn't have to be 'elaborate' or 'master', but could well have been a 'plan'.
Well, when you put it like that it all makes sense...Get Nuno to Spurs. A 16 step Plan by Jorge Mendes
Step 1) Get Spurs to fire my client Jose in April
Step 2) Get Nuno Mutally Consented and heroes fairwell at Molienux
Step 3) Contact whoever is in talks with Spurs and threaten them that if they take the gig they will never work in football again (repeat x6)
Step 4) Open talks with another club, not to take up the roll but to keep people aware Nuno still exists
Step 5) Annoy said club enough so they walk away
Step 6) Open talks with another club
Step 7) Refuse to get rid of resident pyscho so they walk away
Step 8) Get a good friend into the role of DoF at Spurs
Step 9) Make Spurs offer a guy deemed worse than Jose the gig
Step 10) Tell him to say no after saying yes
Step 11) Release photo of Nuno in Liverpool to Nige from Bootle
Step 12) Pull deranged manager out of his new gig after 22 days and send him to Spurs
Step 13) Get fans to start a #notogattuso campaign
Step 14) Persuade Levy I have the best man for him in Nuno
Step 15) Release stories saying Nuno is going to Fenerbahce
Step 16) Smoke a roll of bank notes and top up my tan to celebrate a well executed plan
Fair fucks if he has pulled that one off!
Reality is Levy wanted a name, couldn't get one (one went to Bayern, one stayed at Ajax and one preferred to be unemployed) so he hired a DoF and he loves Mendes clients it seems.

It's all just very weird.
As DW said the other day, for someone to be essentially sacked/let go for a dip in performance and then get a significantly bigger gig straight away...pretty rare, if not unheard of.
I have zero knowledge but I can be confident that until 2 weeks ago there was no plan to put Nuno in at Spurs. Nothing to do with how or why he was allowed to leave Molineux or why last season was in general, a borefest.Unnecessarily grandiose gallery playing, you'd have got the with a quarter of the effort.
I was just throwing my feelings out there, apologies. Of course I always bow to the greater knowledge of the forum that thought last season was all cos Nuno needed some Vit D and family snuggles

You mention the homesick / Covid / family things more than anyone else.The link is that I've heard self-satisfied certainty many times on here that's later proven to be off the mark. Homesickgate just a recent example. Of course, mentioning this activates the forum Dementors who'll swoop on me for 'fishing', so I'll leave it there.
Nuno really loves us and isn't just, at heart, another badge-kissing mercenary having his strings pulled. Mendes having the DOF and manager at Spurs in his pocket now is just a coincidence, and won't affect us at all
Really valid point.I think Mendes has just got lucky here - clearly Nuno wasn't Spurs first choice.
But someone made a good point on the Mix: Nuno to Spurs really turns up the heat on Jeff/Fosun. They're going to look bloody silly if Spurs finish 6th this season and Wolves finish 17th. So maybe they'll back Bruno a bit more...
It was speculation and a "best fit" argument at the time.
They're doing a fine job of making themselves look silly as it is, sending out E Listers like Vinny Clark to foreshadow massive price hikes and planning to replace a goalkeeper with 97 caps with one with 0 caps.I think Mendes has just got lucky here - clearly Nuno wasn't Spurs first choice.

Since Nuno officially got appointed you've been fishing for bites and making posts about how the consensus was wrong.
Why?
6th doesn't suggest any great success at Spurs to me.I think Mendes has just got lucky here - clearly Nuno wasn't Spurs first choice.

It was an excuse, nothing more than that, something to avoid a more critical view of a beloved managers poor performance.You mention the homesick / Covid / family things more than anyone else.
