Nuno Out

I can’t believe he would have accepted the job on the basis of having to accept Sullivans picks of assistants. 

I could if he agreed to signing a lucrative 3 year contract...

If Nuno's old Staff aint installed by the next game and we lose then big questions will need to be asked of him and the Club why that isn't the case now they are all out of work twiddling their thumbs. If a manager really wants to be here, he'd demand they arrive especially when they are available now. It makes no sense to continue with the current yes men duds. Unless he aint fussed about the sack.

[Sir Alf]

A manager alone is not the problem but you’ve got to think if he picked the midfield we started with at Everton plus Potts and gave Wilson minutes in the last 2 games we might have got something?  

Our last 4 managers, owner and various recruitment and coaching appointments have all prioritised experience, past reputations over speed and athleticism both for team selection and recruitment?  Can someone try to rationalise it by playing devils advocate or something as I cant find any reason, even minor for why ?    I heard Carlton Cole saying it might be to protect Potts, Magassa but that sounds like a wild, desperate defence since Scarles was thrown in and out of position.  

Is it that the senior ( older / slow  ) players like Soucek, Irvine, JWP and Guido showed a better understanding in the gentle training sessions of what Nuno required and previously Potter and Loppy?  

I mean these geezers get paid millions to know better but when every fan is saying start the younger lads with more pace, agility etc then you have to conclude they are all incompetent, fraudsters?  I wonder in Nuno’s case, like Moyes telyimg heavily on Alan Irvine, if his coaches are actually the tactical brains?  

“Sullivan Effect” struck yet again if so because he supposedly insisted on promoting within to avoid the cost of taking on Nuno’s coaching team?  I mean its pennies compared to relegation but the epitomy of why Sullivan and Brady are not fit to be involved in amy aspect of running the club. 

“no more BS”

Took Frank 10 games to get a win at Brentford 

Nuno, will come good.




 

It took him 4 games to win his first in the Championship with a lot less pressure and more time to get a perennial lower League Club going. Nuno cannot afford to wait 10 games to get his first in the Premier League, especially after his favourable run of opening fixtures. He'd be rightly kicked out the Club if it got that bad. He needs to win 1 in the next 3 or he could be done here and he'd have no qualms.

The only thing we havent tried is dropping kilman. Give macrapanos and todibaked a go at CB.

Who scouted all these fucking duds, Stevie Wonder?

[southbankbornnbred]

Nobody will be asking for Igor once you’ve watched him play a few games. He’s terrible.

[BerlingtonBertie]

Agreed. Areola has regressed and would get in no other Premier league team. Cant believe we wasted all that dough on that little bloke from Leicester - fucking criminal 

[Massive Attack]

Good point about Fabianski being brave enough to try and come for crosses at set pieces. I'd give him a go. What a sad state of affairs though.

[GBHammer63]

Whatever team selection, the best way to relieve the pressure on the iffy defence would be to set the fucking team up to attack and not do what they’re fucking iffy doing, I’d also put Fab in goal, for two reasons, he’s the calmest keeper we have so might reassure that iffy defence and he looks the most adept at fucking catching the ball from corners (which as sure as eggs are eggs) is what Eddie Howe and Scott Parker are going to tell their teams to play for.
i think we’re already fucked, but these 2 games are more than crucial, stay in touching distance and who knows, get cut off and everyone knows.

Is Kilman actually better than Macropanos?  Serious question.

Can we really do worse then trying Mav and Igor at the back?

No, he's not. Mavrapanos is our best centre half. That's how shit the others are.

However, isn't Mavrapanos out injured? If he's fit for Newcastle it's Mavrapanos and Igor the Brazilian at centre back for me. Kilman and the mardy French mercenary cսnt both need dropping.

Team sabotaging No hope Nuno the numpty would never dream of doing what needs to be done though.

Macropanos was a genuine typo - but it made me laugh so I'll leave it there.

A couple more posts he could end up being called Micropenis.

Thats the team and formation most of us seem to favour. Except, Im a tad worried about Diouf’s defending. KWP is the better defender and we are shipping goals for fun. Diouf coming on later might be better against Newcastle? 

Diouf could also replace Summerville on the left if KWP can fill in at LB. 

From this moment forward I'm going to start calling Summerville...

Massive Attack » 25 Oct 2025 16:31I want him to pack it in with all his silly bollock wacky tactics and go for this next to against a well drilled and disciplined 4-3-3 Newcastle side. 

                    Areola  

Wan-Bissaka Igor Kilman Diouf     

    Fernandes Potts Magassa   

     Bowen Wilson Summerville

Agreed.

That is about as good as it gets with what's avaliable but for the love of cսnt, please fucking play players in their actual positions they are used to playing in and get some continuity flowing back in to the Team!

That's more like it Massive. This looks very much like my team prediction from last night.

[Council Scum]

For me, he's come in, seen what a shower of shit it is and is looking to get out asap, no professional would put put teams out like that. He's needs fucking off now.

Another emperors new clothes appointment that only Sullivan can see.
Brady fucks up the appointment of Potter and fought to keep him for so long, Sullivan passes his pint to her and says look and learn slag.

[Massive Attack]

I now fear Nuno has made a rod for his own back for his approach to the last 2 matches. The crowd will understandably be on his case with Newcastle upon next at Home, he can't afford another display like he's just produced this week.

He's got to give the Fans - and the Players! - something to believe in. Anymore wacky tactics that don't work then the writing will begin to appear on the wall for him much like it did for Postenoclue at Forest. Dyche has understood that instantly and yet both arrogant twat managers Nuno and Fat Ange seem to think they can be clever about it all with their utter stubbornness.

Nuno has also entered 1 of the easiest run-ins a new manager could wish to ask for, only having to play at the Shithole just 3 times and so far just 1 point with 0 wins:

Everton
Arsenal
Brentford 
Leeds
Newcastle 
Burnley
Bournemouth 

3 games left to save his job if he doesn't manage to win 1?

Likely to be rooted to the bottom of the League should Wolves beat Burnley at Home leaves us with little room for error now. Park your fucking ego at the door Nuno or this won't end well and it will be fully deserved if not..

[Sir Alf]

The squad is lacking in most areas for the super fast, intense Premier Lge.  Play the players most suited to cope in their preferred positions.  We could almost guarantee better results than our last 2 games following this revolutionary approach
