Levy hired the wrong manager in Jose, followed that up by hiring the wrong DOF in Paratici who followed that up by hiring the wrong manager in Nuno (Jose lite).... I see one consistent problem with everything thats wrong with Spurs
Still early days and time to learn from the many mistakes which Nuno has mainly made from his team selections.
Sacking Nuno now would be stupid. Every manager needs time to find out the right formula for his team selections.
The more players like Dele and Ndombele let him down the more they should fall behind the pecking order.
Just to add as Nuno as shown with Winks who has not featured for the last 3 or 4 matches.

See this is exactly what Gary Neville was talking about yesterday. It's naive to just blame the players every time. They have to believe in the manager, understand the tactical plan and push beyond their limits for their gaffer. Graeme Souness was saying that every player should have an inbuilt professionalism regardless of the man in charge but whilst that's nice, it's not the reality. If the players don't believe or don't understand, you'll see a drop off in performance. When one or two players look off the pace, you put it down as an anomaly. If all 11 play badly, the likelihood is that this is to do with management and confusing instructions.
We still have a Poch squad that believe in the Poch way. It's impossible for them to get behind a pragmatic manager. Look at Claude Puel at Leicester. He played a pragmatic brand of football and the squad wasn't largely different to what it is now. The players stopped performing. They didn't believe in him or his methods. In came Rodgers and it's like night and day. If the whole squad aren't performing, it's the manager, not the players. It's too easy to blame them every time.
So does anybody believe that Fonseca was really going to get the job or even that Levy wanted exciting, attacking football?
Or was that just a smokescreen to hide the fact he was bringing in a defensively minded DoF to bring in Mourinho/Nuno type managers to maintain the status quo and nothing more?
Is Levy just keeping Spurs ticking over while he finds other more lucrative sports/activities to fill the £1bn stadium?

you're giving him too much credit if you think this whole thing was part of his masterplan. Not. A. Chance.
He doesn't know what he wants and he's jumping from plan to plan in order to find a solution, not realising that with each segway, we move further and further away from any form of ethos, identity and long term success.

Surely you mean he's lurching from cock-up to cock-up with no real idea of what the outcome is he's trying to achieve.
Or do you believe he is putting some thought into these 'plans' he's jumping between?

Nuno needs to learn faster. Was wise to drop Winks, Dele needs to follow. Skipp amd Gil are in my view better midfielders than Dele
Deles only hope is to learn to play as 9 but he can't trap a ball so I fear for his career.

It's very strange that he hasn't named the stadium yet, obviously still waiting for something, just think of the money to be made out of that, waiting for a NFL franchise I'd say

It's weird how we just assume that there's still a player in there on some level. Some players have it young and then do nothing. David Bentley is another. They just lose that hunger to succeed and when they try and get it back through hard work and fitness drills they find all those instincts that made them great have long since deserted them.
It starts with complacency and then a lack of confidence. Extremely hard to get that back unless you have the right manager to believe in you again. He needs a Redknapp or a Poch type.

Always find it hilarious when someone decides to give their unwanted two bob's worth, when conveniently their team is doing ok, but the same people are always the first to cry like a baby when they team is not ( remember the Lampard debacle and all the moaning that went on with that appointment )
So, tell me, why do you think you are entitled to come on here with your smug ( but totally inaccurate ) comments. And why do you actually think any Spurs fan is interested. Oh and factually, no one player ever decides to fate or future of a club. So your "advice" is rubbish anyway.
Suggest go back to queuing for petrol. You are probably better at that than football advice.
If Fonseca was telling the truth and Paratici does indeed prefer a coach with a more defensive style then sacking Nuno will not solve anything, he will just appoint another Mourinho / Nuno style coach and Spurs will be in exactly the same situation as now.
