I dont blame nuno. Levy hung him out to dry

Threw him under the bus to save himself. Manager of the month earlier in the season. But when the likes of Kane aren't trying a leg for you then you have no chance.

Wouldn't be surprised if Levy got out the begging bowl to get Poch back. That's two disastrous appointments in a row.

Spurs apparently want Conte. Fuck me I hope they don't pull that one off.

He won't go there without a budget.

Looks like it may happen though.

Think it’s fair to say by this thread that if Dean does get sacked there is no overwhelming favourite to come in :-)

However, for me the most important part of a CEO role is to spot that moment that a manager goes from trying to win at all costs to going into 100% job preservation mode, we have seen it with Bruce, Lambert, McLeish & in each case they were allowed to fester in that approach for months….if Purslow thinks Dean has hit that point the trigger should be pulled.  Equally the board should always have a list of achievable targets to take over.

Be quite  a coup for them to be honest.

Spurs acting quick unlike us who continue to back a manager that has a miserable record in the last 29 games

You think we can keep onto bailey if we finish 15th this year? He will be gone very quickly. Need to act now and get a proper elite manager in

Nuno was dealt a tough hand.

The Kane situation etc

They aren’t actually too far off the top six.
I wonder if he’s still quite a decent manager at heart

Yeah, look at Spurs acting quickly after spending all summer looking like twats and getting turned down left, right and centre.

Despite it not working out at Spurs, would be very odd if we had managerial vacancy in next two weeks and didn't interview Nuno.

I think he could be decent fit for the players we have. Ultimately he finished 7th twice with newly promoted side and last season they had their best player out for three more months than what we did with G***lish so results always going to decline.

Also has good european experience with Valencia and Porto.

Perhaps he'll want a break now or manage in another league though.

I see DS has the same record as Nuno  , 5 defeats in 7 games ..  I would imagine he needs a win at Soton. 

he used to frustrate me last season with the late subs always Trez for El Ghazi or El Ghazi for Trez , no change of formation or tactics but I had faith he could sort it but he has made some crazy decisions this season and it does not look a happy camp .  I mean Bailey taking throw ins and the  Ashley Young sub left me well perplexed and what's with all these injured players in training etc.

I do think we miss that midfield general with some muscle , the bissoma type or whatever as the midfield is useless.
