If we sack Smith and get it wrong, we'll be in danger of being relegated.

I'd go all put to bring Nuno to the Club Immediately.  Done a fantastic job for Wolves and has European experience . The Tottenham job was always going to end like that with Kane sulking.  Fantastic opportunity for us

Would rather him than the Twatty Trio of Gerrard, Lampard or Terry, but isn't he a bit dull? Also, does anyone know if he plays five at the back? If so, I'm out.

He might be a bit dull but with the other names going around I think that's the best we are going to get.

I'd love it to have worked out for Dean but with losing ROK and Terry plus our best player it has exposed him

I'm looking forward to the meltdown on here when there's a realisation that the new manager isn't Conte or the guy from Ajax.

I don’t get the Fonseca attraction.  My knowledge is limited to wiki but it is an average CV at best.
Getting Roma to 5th doesn’t strike me as success and winning the Ukrainian league must be like managing in Scotland.

Yeah, I don't see the appeal either. Clearly under-performed at Roma. Someone said he'd attract big names which I disagree with too.

You're hoping we don't get a good manager so you can enjoy the misery of your fellow fans? Bit weird.

I am flabbergasted Spurs appears to have hooked Conte. What has Levy promised him as a transfer budget, I wonder. It'll have to be a lot so very bad for us with presumably both Spurs and Newcastle outspending us next couple of seasons.

Tottenham are always going to be a draw, unfortunately. They've been been in the top four as often as not in recent years, they've a massive stadium and ticket prices to match, and then there's the London Factor.

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.

Just think the big question with Nuno was that since everything was seemingly set up perfectly for him at Wolves with the Portuguese contingent, would he struggle when he came out of that environment.
