A golden generation side as well. Won absolutely nothing.


They came up against a better France team in 2018, and lost narrowly to a very good Italy team at the Euros. As good as they are, it’s taken the best team in the tournament each time to knock them out.

A lot of the so called names in Frame like Fonseca and so,if chance came along say like Spurs job,these guys would rather take it and be London based rather than up in North East,its a fact.

They also have much better players

Wouldn't go with Nuno right now. It's unlikely that he's been watching / analysing the team like the other prospective candidates will have.

That said, would it really take more than watching 5 minutes of any recent game to tell him all he needs to know?

How have Spurs pretty much appointed Conte already?

 

I thought a new manager took at least 3 weeks to appoint?

Because they have the infrastructure and players to go out and get the best name available where as we are rebuilding a whole club from top to bottom and have wheelie bins for ice baths ?

They’re a more attractive club right now due to league position, players, infrastructure. Plus the owners have been there longer than three weeks and have spoken to Conte for longer than that- they even interviewed him in the summer- they just needed to pick up where they left off. Still not done though- can’t see them having too much cash to spend which Conte would want, and not sure that Conte and Levy would be best buddies with their individual personalities. He turned them down in the summer, after all. We’ll see.

Wheelie bins are irrelevant to the point you're trying to make.

 

Our search has taken too long, that can't be argued against in my opinion.

They were too slow to sack Bruce and the new manager search is taking too long. We're not in an easy mid table position at the end of the day. We're a hopeless team who looks like they won't win a game all season without big changes and we're already over a quarter of the way through the season.

It can be argued against, if at the end of the week we end up with a top class manager would it have taken too long ?

I'd take Nuno. Not top of my wish list or anything, and I'd be concerned about the options they've been running through the past few weeks if they jumped on Nuno at the first chance. :lol: but I'd take him.

Before his spurs spell I would have agreed, I just think he looks a beaten man that needs a break for a bit.

Totally fair. When you look at his track record it's good spells with Rio Ave and Wolves and three underwhelming spells at 'bigger' names. So I could certainly see it going either way if he joined.

Spurs Sacking a decent coach and possibly appointing the best around instead  within days. Us taking an age to sack a guy about as much use as a teabag in a tsunami and leaving a guy who was head assistant coach or whatever the fuck during a period of the worst shapeless,styleless period in my time  supporting (1989) to take charge  of more than one game whilst struggling to make an appointment is not a good look.

What about, if Jones loses the next 8 and we then get a good manager.

 

So we'd be all but down. Would that have taken too long?
