Nuno started his Spurs reign w/ both Dele and Ndombele in midfield, and they promptly got exposed and ripped apart bc both of them are lazy and can't help defend. Then he goes super defensive with Hojberg and Skipp, and the fans hate it bc they could barely create anything with safe, slow, boring sideways passing. The real issue with Spurs has always been their squad. They never really replaced the very talented XI they had back in 2016-18. Their "big signings" like Sanchez, Ndombele, Lo Celso etc. have all been flops. Dele has regressed, and Kane looks like he dgaf anymore and is mentally checked out. Conte will need at least two transfer windows to sort this dumpster fire out.

[@Karelja]

One of the most ridiculous aspects of this sacking is that he had received manager of the month at a certain time, hence indicating he was more than fit for the job. A month or so after, he gets the sack. The board just want someone to operate miracles with players that 1) are not good enough, 2) the ones who are don't want to be there. Considering that the coming 9 matches for Conte are damn easy (if the players put in the effort), I predict everyone will be saying how good a manager he is. Then, starting the 16th of December it's when they will start a tough period of hard games with a few very easy ones there. So what this calendar tells me is that the sacking of Nuno had little to do with their trust on his capacity to turn things around but more with the board not liking is methodologies/approach. But Conte will have to wait until January 2022 for yet another batch of players, hard negotiations and incoming players adapting to his style. I am sure he will resort to signing a few Italians for faster adaptation due to communication and football culture but I predict that by mid-February he will have them playing to his style. That clashes with the away match against Man City on the 19th of February that they will have to win to show he is something of a kind. If before that match Tottenham is in 5th place I see him staying around in peace, if not I see him getting frustrated and the blaming game starting all over again.

[@TeyRock1]

I believe Poch was a victim of his own success. He deserved more time to turn things around when they weren't positive. The man got them to the CL final and cemented them in the top-6 of, arguably, the most difficult league in world football. Levy pulled the trigger too soon IMO.

[@seth1455]

What success ?

[@Jman4real56]

In regards to that the players themselves said how down poch was after coming close to winning the league and then like Leicester did and then there was the champions league final. I was happy with poch but thinking about it from that perspective if the manager isn't happy either or wants to go then it also has an effect on the dressing room. Maybe he did want to or not but that would explain the form the season he was sacked. As a fan we look for the blame from the players to the manager to the chairman but looking at how the club progresses as a whole really determines who is right in terms of the direction the club is going. I don't mean to type all this long stuff but speaking as a fan sacking mourinho right before a final being the serial winner he is made me look at the chairman Levy and Harry kane. Reason I'm saying that is mourinho played with a lot of players with ego's and if Kane developed one and wanted the player out then he lost out coz mourinho is a great manager loved by many and even past players. If the chairman wanted to save some dough or whatever then sacking a manager before a final is the way to say screw the fans this is my club n we aren't winning trophies on my watch. So it as I say a double edged sword really.

We were playing bad when he was let go and for what it's worth I stand by the decision to bring in mourinho to show that intent to win trophies as opposed to waiting for poch to somehow get us back to were we were as a team previously.

Carra is wrong, it wasn't a bad appointment, it was the appointment that Levy and Paratici wanted for that moment. They could take at that moment Conte but they didn't want him and they knew why, because he was going to ask a lot of money for him and a lot of money for strengthening the squad and Levy as usual didn't want to spend money, so the solution was easy, Nuno Espirito Santo because he was coming from the mud and he wasn't going to complain with the players he was going to have got, in fact, probably he has never had so good team in his whole career but, How many Spurs players have performed at the level that the team required? Look at how Wolves played with Nuno, for something Wolves were between the best 10 teams in the Premier. I think many people at Tottenham should be regretted with their behavior and their performance. The football club and players have betrayed and have left Nuno absolutely alone. Tottenham Spurs, Daniel Levy and Paratici and its supporters believe themselves better than they really are. There, just there where the problem is. I think, for a change, everybody at Spurs should have a honest conversation about how the real situation of the football club and the team really are. And after that they can hire a new manager, manager that since the first minute must know what type of team he is going to manage, without secrets, without lies: "this is the team you've got, we don't have money for spending in winter window, this your salary and your bonuses if you are capable to get one of the Champions League spots, Europa League or winning one of the trophies that they are still alive.

[@edwardvaughan8821]

The thing is that Nuno in itself is not a bad manager. Just it showed absolutely no level of ambition from the board which certain players like Kane and Alli needed to see.

[@exquisitelemonade3039]

Spurs were embarrassed in the summer, no one wanted to go to them, Nuno decided to take a chance at it and unfortunately it wasn't a good fit. Sacking Pocchetino is his biggest mistake, back then they were a club looking for a boon and he was looking for a club that he could advance with. Match made in heaven. The sacking of him made managers take notice.

[@archiesalter5069]

I reckon the reason they sacked Poch is cos after they lost the champions league final, he sorta just lost motivation and thought he’s taken the club as far as he could

[@bonkerzisgood]

It was like Gary Neville to Valencia. A small bit of hope at the start but quickly vanished

[@kcsniper1243]

Honestly Nuno is at 100% percent fault. Most of the Blame to me goes on Levy and Kane. Spurs won there first 3 games without Kane, the second he comes back they are awful. He doesn't do nothing on the field because he doesn't want to be there. To me Kane shouldn't play until he can prove he wants to. it doesn't matter who the manager is if your players don't give full effort.

What? They fired Nuno? At this point it has to be the players and not the coach. And Nuno should’ve never left Wolves. The grass isn’t always greener

[@scepticalsaint]

Carra doesn’t half talk nonsense. If it was such a bad appointment you have to sack him 10 games in, it’s a bad sacking. And Nuno’s style is different than Poch; the stats tell you nothing. Just have the guts to criticise Kane or shush, Jamie.

[@Moleoflands]

The stat speak volumes though. Poch did worse, but were owed results. Nuno has lost every London Derby they've played and lost to Man U. The only closely fought one was Vs West Ham where they were a little unlucky

[@Reyskee]

Tottenham have now become savage and desperate. Why hire a manager to sack him quick. Spurs need a new owner. They are all over the place as a club and as a team. Kane will leave next season and Tottenham will be a average mid table team for years and years soon. Potch is sitting their in his rocking chair sipping a little bit of wine from his glass smiling.

What went wrong for Spurs since 2018: 1. Signed absolutely no one in the 18/19 season. 2. Giving new contracts to mediocre players. 3. Some of the signings since 19/20 season hasn't lived up to expectations. 4. Sacking Pochettino after screwing him over and sacking Mourinho before a cup final. 5. Made a poor choice in hiring Nuno and not give him the proper backing with transfers. 6. Failed to move on mediocre players like Winks, Dier and Sanchez. 7. Refusing to sell Kane and now they have a player who is mentally not in Spurs and downing tools. 8. Made a mess in looking for new managers(see point 5). 9. Alli has regressed as a player. Never fulfilled his true potential. 10. Needed a proper rebuild but Dan Levy being a stubborn mule for not allowing it to happen.

Another way to look at it is Yes Levy got it wrong with Nuno, BUT credit to him and DOF for acting so fast just 10 games in and got the manager United were flirting with. A top 5 manager going to spurs is amazing for that club. Even from an Arsenal fan i have to rate the 4D chess move of "striking whilst the iron is hot" Mindset 👏

[@aquilarossa5191]

When clubs appoint managers they should have to live with that choice until the next transfer window, i.e., they can only bring new managers in during a transfer window. If the manager can not continue for some reason, then the club should have to make do with a caretaker who is already at the club until the window. The clubs get to vote, so this rule would never pass under the current structure. A regulator could make it happen though. The manager sacking merry go round can not be good for the game. Clubs would have to be more careful about their appointments, plus it would give a little more stability for the players. Not knowing who your boss would be one month to the next sucks as does constantly having to adjust to how new bosses want things.

what does Levy expect, the league title? Poch had them playing entertaining football while getting them in the champions league, Then after reaching a champions league final, he was sacked

[@saneman7177]

The Poch myth… Spurs getting to the final papered over the cracks they were on the slide that season… hence why Poch said he’d leave if they won it… he appeared to have lost the dressing room somehow & it got worse until he was sacked, they needed a complete rebuild & Poch new it like we all did.

[@kieran9882]

@@saneman7177 yea i get that, i just feel that Poch himself should have been in charge of the rebuild and a chance to turn things around.

Pointless comparison… Spurs had a bang average squad when Poch took over, he backed the young players like Dier, Mason, Bentaleb, Kane etc to try & rebuild after they had lost the likes of Bale, Modric, King, Parker, Van der Vaart etc over the previous couple of seasons… also just come off the back of Tim Sherwood as manager… Also Spurs have incredible facilities now & the best stadium in the country which they hadn’t yet built when Poch arrived…

[@800iq2]

I have to agree with Carragher. Nuno didn't seem like a good fit for Spurs and he's 100% correct about the performance issues. I'd point out that he also doesn't have his teams support too. They don't like him very much either. They said he's worse than Mourinho.
