Which might be good as I'm sure no compo means no NDA. So it could be finally open season from a manager to the owners.

Where is this 'good cop' Nuno mantra coming from? He has ultimately failed here, his record is awful and he got 2 strikers and his mate Traore in this month. By all means slate the owner, but I won't be giving much credence or attention to what bottle job baldy might say at some point later, and let's be honest no NDA or not it's still unlikely to happen as it rarely does at the top level.

All that really tells us predictably is that the Club are too tight to want to cough up compensation as per their modus operandi.

He must have accepted the job on those terms, which are actually fair as he knew exactly what he was getting into and the players he had available. Probably getting a massive bonus if we stay up, and will fuck off somewhere else next season anyway.

On bringing an extra Defender for a Forward on 66 minutes 2-1 up only to then lose it 3-2..

"We (he means him) wanted to close the game down"

With about half an hour of the game left (with the long injury time) at Stamford Bridge it was always asking for trouble and not for the first time he's done this. The fella never learns. 

I do like his honesty though, he owns it. Other managers wouldn't and would instead hide behind excuses.

He gave a good presser today, not just the usual platitudes and cliches, he's hurting after Chelsea and knows he fucked up. Worth a watch.

When he came to the Club one of his best reputations he had was supposedly organising a defence and yet we still regularly concede 3 a game even with his ultra defensive tactics. Chelsea, Wolves, City, Villa in the previous 9 matches in a row conceding 19. 35 in 19 League matches altogether and still not a single clean sheet - even Potter managed one against Forest.

All about the money, classic Sullivan..

Yes let’s have no manager, what a great idea. Maybe the members of the fan club can vote on a Tuesday about who should play. Superb. 

Massive
Totally agree with what you have said.
It was written in the stars. Nuno wanted to bring on his love child no 3 to prove to the world that he knew what he was doing. I have received 4 emails this afternoon confirming my ticket but I can see this online too.Traore then went on to try and prove how hard he is by shoving an opponent for no reason. He's a lump of frozen shit.Stinking the place out as he melts.
Watch how Traoe will come on before Wilson in the next few games if Nuno is still here.
Why not keep DIuof on and move him up in place of Summerville who is more vunerable to injury. ?
BnS are to blame for the clubs demise and transfer's in the main. However Nuno is to blame for this clubs relegation. he's had enough opportunity to change . This team is still capable of avoiding relegation but not under Crackhead.

Massively Autistic

What have I said that's wrong on the Bowen substitution?

I think you've gone a little far down the 'hate and blame Nuno for absolutely everything' road TBH. 

He wants to play every minute and is clearly capable of it. Like you say, he was running freely after he went down early in the 2nd half. Few moments later we lose it 3-2, have a mass brawl that led to a red card involving his replacement WWF wrestler. Wouldn't have dreamt of taking off our goalscoring Captain in that particular moment at Stamford Bridge. Yet now Nuno decides to do it for his pet favourite new signing.

Bowen was clearly fine after 2 mins. He'd just rolled his ankle. No dramas. Traore came on because Bowen has played almost 2400 minutes this season- which is 500 minutes more than any other player in the squad and actually an average of over 90 mins per game which just isn't sustainable for a winger- and would have come on for Bowen regardless of Bowen stepping on the ball. He can't play every minute of every game although it's a fucking testament to his fitness and almost non existent injury record. He's been forced to for so long because of absolutely nobody being his backup which an equal testament to the piss poor job Sullivan is doing in not having a squad fit for purpose under four consecutive managers.

I think you're going a bit too deep into this particular point, but crack on.

The other thing about when Bowen went down was a physio never came on or even called for one. He then carried on for the rest of the half until taken off almost half an hour since it happened which suggests to me he had ran it off enough to get on with it. If he really felt there was an issue then you would expect a manager to take him off much sooner, not 30 minutes after. 

That was before he just bought his lovechild so it's believable he'd chuck him on thinking he could make a difference and for the same position he plays in a lot of the time.
