Two 7th place finishes with Wolves was some going when you consider who they finished above. Disappointing season last season though and then not given a chance at Spurs and sacked after 11 league games. He is still only young in managerial terms at 47 and I'd imagine still very ambitious and now also desperate to show Spurs they have made a mistake with that disrespectful sacking. When managing Wolves he lived in Four Oaks as well so knows the area. He had access to players way beyond Wolves natural level. He's failed twce in this league? Why take the chance?

Laughable Chimp Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 If anyone is expecting us to get a manager that has a better pedigree than Smith has they'll be sorely surprised. We're not getting a top manager. Pretty much any manager that we could attract we'll have some serious doubts surrounding them. Best not be too picky is my advice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Favre is probably the only name I've seen mentioned that wouldn't have me wary in some capacity, and even then he's only getting mentioned by folk like me who are living in hope rather than it being some kind of credible link. Just have a feeling it'll be Gerrard which would have me skeptical at best. Of the names floated in the last few hours I think I'd have Hasenhüttl as the best of an unconvincing bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 Just now, Peter Griffin said: But the appointment of a manager is not about appeasing the fanbase. It is and rightly so, about getting the right man for the job. If Purslow gets the right man in then the fanbase will very quickly get behind him no but it helps if they're on side from the get go and the fans will give the manager more time during dodgy spells. do you not remember mcleish? the atmosphere was evil from very early stage...extreme example, but goes to show you do need to think about the general feeling amongst the fanbase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect, but Nuno has a better pedigree than Smith, so it won't be that hard. beginning to thing Terry did too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 7 minutes ago, useless said: Nuno makes a lot of sense to me, didn't really fail at Wolves or Spurs, has recent premier league experience, showed last season that he could keep a struggling team in the league, and has also shown that he can get a non top six club into Europe. I woudn't particulary want him, but could see the logic. Nuno is the Portuguese version of Steve Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Nuno is a no from me, football isn't easy on the eye but worse than that I'm saying deano couldn't get a tune out these players we then go and appoint Nuno who had the same problem at spurs? Doesn't work for me that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
