Nuno to Spurs? New rumour

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Levy quite keen on replacing Jose with Nuno if the latter fails to get CL football secured for next season according to the Daily Mail.

Same old garbage being recycled by desperate journalists!

 

[Flaneur]

Don't think there's anything in it, but Spurs fan's not liking the idea of this rumour at all!

Seen plenty of posts & comments saying how it'd just be replacing one park the bus merchant with another, one fossil for another, replacing Mourinho with the demo version etc. etc.

 

[Nige100]

This one although probably rubbish does seem on face value to have better legs than previous rumours I have seen. Would seem a natural step for Nuno and also Spurs probably outside of the CL then they will not get a real top class candidate.

 

[marrs-guitar]

In all honesty, I don't see Nuno's stock as being particularly high at present. Coaches like Nagelsmann, Rodgers and even Potter are probably far more attractive candidates for a club like Spurs at present.

 

[clivewolves]

Meet the new rumour, same as the old rumour.

 

[Derbywolf85]

It says an awful lot about the way this season has been that when I saw this rumour on Twitter, I didn't panic and wasn't overly bothered.

And one (Nuno) who hasn’t the track record of trophies that Mourinho has. It’s sad that Wolves are now seen as a slow and cautious, park the bus team, which hasn’t done Nuno’s reputation much good either.

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

The Spurs way.... It doesn't matter if we lose as long as we look jolly good when we do.

Doesn't seem to fit a Nuno-type profile

Lol @ demo version

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Can't see that working for anybody.

It's a short term reputation. The media were raving the previous 3 seasons (even though we realised Nuno was safety first). If it continues next season then it's area for concern.

 

[theweave]

Can we have a new thread for rumours from rubbish sources and just stick them all in there?

 

[Stafford]

Nagelsmann and Rodgers will surely be going onto better things than Spurs when they choose to move on. Potter. No chance.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

I can't see this. Nuno's stock has fallen in the last year. Had we continued on the same trajectory I'd be very concerned at losing him but can't see any of the more glamorous clubs being interested at the moment.

That said, I love the man and am happy to see him remain with us and hopefully correct some wrongs and get us back on track.

If someone gives potter a chance he will do well I think. As a coach you can't argue with the style of play he's created with Brighton, if they even had a half decent PL forward line they'd probably be about 8th.

 

[Bankswolf The Third]

I am sure he is on a shortlist same as we have managers on a shortlist in case it happens
Nothing news

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Some people will be delighted if he goes based on the last few months .

 

[wolf of sedgley]

Complete bllx

Although we’ve been mostly poor, slow and negative since the re-start last season, Nuno deserves a free hit this season given what he has achieved the previous seasons. But, as you wrote, next season will be a defining one for him. If we start off with the same slow, turgid stuff without many goals it may signal a change is needed.

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Nagelsmann who most Spurs fans wanted to replace Mourinho seemed set for a move to Bayern with Flick getting the national team job....

 

[Manic88]

I'd much prefer he is poached then the inevitable sacking

A lot of fans still not over McCarthy's sacking - maybe he was going on a 14 game winless run for fun and was just about to guide us to safety.

 

[Contrarian]

Aren't people amazing? Imagine if Nuno did go to Spurs...and we got a new manager. Would all those who want Nuno to stay forever, want the new man to fail? Would they be on his back after the first defeat? When Nuno joined, there were plenty not happy with him and who wanted Lambert to stay. Nothing wrong with that, nobody really knew how it would turn out.

Just saying, there's no easy answers, we all have our biases and they are nigh on impossible to see in ourselves, though easy to ridicule others who "got it wrong, doh". It's probably a good job The Mix doesn't seem to go back to far as I'm sure we've all said things we were 100% convinced by, that turned out 100% wrong.

So true! And a lot of fans are not over keeping McCarthy the summer of the season before when it was *obvious* we were in freefall. Funny how we hit the top of the Premier League for the only time ever at the start of the next, relegation season. I bet there was much gloating from the diehard McCarthy fans on our "Title Challenge".

Wet Spam are similar....

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I'm surprised that they would be looking at him as a replacement for Mourinho.
Just seems like the wrong fit.

 

[WolfLing]

It's been said before, but Nuno sides just don't play the type of football that top sides expect.

That's part of the reason why he didn't do well at Valencia or Porto. They are sides that expect to completely dominate games and score plenty of goals.

It's also part of the reason why Mourinho has struggled more recently at sides like United and Spurs. His style is very similar to Nuno's and fans of those sides just don't accept it, even more so when results are poor. Even some Wolves fans struggle to accept our style of football at the moment!

Spurs fans not liking it adds to its legitimacy. I'm sure Levy just makes decisions to wind them up at times.

I hate to nitpick but that is like saying Poch didn't do very well at Spurs.

Edit: That's a lie I love to nitpick.

Yeah, 4th with Valencia is decent. Probably should've said part of the reason why he wasn't accepted and only did 1 and a bit seasons. It's fair to say the Spurs fans warmed to Poch a lot more than Valencia fans warmed to Nuno.

That is fair to say. They really didn't like having "Mendes's puppet"

Jizz on steroids...

I don't buy Nuno as being safety first. He wouldn't have ever played Traore at wing back if that was the case.
I don't see our performance against west brom as being safety first. Or the two against west ham as being safety first. I think it's quite sad considering some of the football we've played at times that he's garnered that reputation just because he hasn't been all out attack all the time.

 

[Aurum Lupus]

Looking at it from a clinical point of view it actually may make sense to Fosun. All managers have a certain shelf life, and not many get past 5 years. In most cases its the club that decides to move on and has to bear the cost of paying off the contract. This way we actually make money on a manager, with compensation. I appreciate you still need to bring someone in and may have to pay compo ourselves. But at least we would have had Spurs cover that.

This isn't me wishing for this, just an alternative perspective

 

[Wolf316]

it’s not Nuno leaving that’s the problem it’s who the replacement is.

 

[Deleted member 8913]

Hold on....don’t half of this messageboard think Nuno can’t take us to the next level and we should get rid of him at the end of the season? If he went to Spurs like Doc wouldn’t that save us the expense of firing him? And we could get a proven winner like Mourinho? Wouldn’t everybody think that’s a win win win all round?

unless you are Chinese like confuscius who believes even the longest journey begins with just one step.?

 

[Bob Wolf]

If someone gives potter a chance he will do well I think. As a coach you can't argue with the style of play he's created with Brighton, if they even had a half decent PL forward line they'd probably be about 8th.

Agreed. If Nuno were to go I wouldn’t mind potter. His teams with worse individual players than ours create a fair amount of chances per game. They basically are missing jiminez putting the ball in the net.

If Mourinho had took United back to winning the PL the fans wouldnt have cared less about the style of play (finishing between liverpool and City is a bitter pill) same as playing the "spurs way" its a total myth, if they were successful the fans wouldnt care.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

The blueprint for Nuno success in future is to look to see if he can emulate Diego Simeone who had a reputation of being a cautious manager but has evolved the last 12 months.

I dont believe that any manager wants to be negative, its about what players you have (or can attract) and playing a way to win games. If Pep went from City tomorrow and Nuno got the gig, he wouldnt turn them into how we play.

 

[yateleywolf]

It wouldnt just be nuno if would be all his staff.
