Don't ask you don't get in this world, if only to be laughed down the blower, the Club should at least try to get in contact with Alonso. But we aint that ambitious and forward thinking as a Club so of course they never would dream of trying. Best to just stick with Nuno..

I suppose the question now is whether he can show enough improvement by end of season to be the manager we think can get us back up or at least in play off contention?

First couple of games looked encouraging ( incl. Set piece conceding ) then he tinkers in midfield and we lose badly at Leeds and at home to, at that point, a struggling Brentford. 
Then he brings in some youngsters in centre mid, switches Todibo to the right and we win a couple, draw 2 or 3 and lose to Arsenal away a bit meekly and Pool at home after he tinkers dropping Wilson after a few goals. 

Kilman had been dropped after a run of poor games and he had brought Stavros back who had been ok alongside Todibo. 

Stavros lets Watkins get across him and it causes an OG via deflection. Otherwise ok but Nuno tinkers and immediately drops Stavros. It was a game we were unlucky to lose.

Since that Villa game, IMO we’ve gone backwards again. The complete lack of squad options are a factor no doubt but he has also made a few pointless subs like in centre mid just to “freshen legs” when in fact those subs ( Soucek and Guido ) weaken us.  

We are at least a CB and even another centre mid short. In reality its 2 CBs and 2 centre mid options of quality short and a goalkeeper too. Areola and Hermanson have  real weaknesses but the latters will cost more goals so gets picked

I believe the stats say a switch at this stage means you more likely to go down no matter who you get in. 

Xabi Alonso available.

Hatred,

Stick to following Sunderland mate.

 

I'm not usually in favour of sacking managers but if we keep NES we're gannin doon,  100%.

There are no signs of him turning it around or even improving. 

I'd rather we get rid and appoint almost anyone.

Has Noble got his coaching badges?

It's a gamble but it might work.

If there's no managerial change we're going straight down the toilet.

I'm doubting there's anyone out there that can do anything decent at this club, the rot has set in so deep 

Gary O'Neill has got a job, just signed up at Strasbourg.

Gary O’Wall was interviewed by Sullivan. Suspect he will be next? Fits the Sullivan template, out of work, PL experience and more importantly does not have a backroom team to hire or will accept not bringing tyem onboard to save some pennies while Sully wastes the pounds elsewhere. 

It's a caretaker role, he won't be there at the start of next season.

Dithering Dave strikes again!

What a patronising response.
We don't have many options but thus knib Crackhead gas refused to give him a chance.
As he knows he could be proved wrong.
It's neglection of duty.

Maybe I'm being a bit kind there but he just seems to be having a mare at everything he decides now. New managers? Yep, fucked that up. New DoF? Yep, fucked that up. New players? Yep, fucked that up. Hook up with a beast of a transgender whilst tarting the Barnet up with Grecian 2000? Definitely fucked that up!

Maybe Gold was the brains.

Brains might be too strong a compliment but I definitely think he was a much better person than Sullivan to have a word with when needed!

I look forward to him lighting up the Championship next season.

As i can't imagine Thomas Frank being around at Spurs for long. How about him to lead us either to safety or out of the Championship? I'm in.
