With Tottenham Hotspur registering back to back losses once again in the Premier League with the frustrating 3-0 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend, news on Monday of Nuno Espirito Santo’s departure from the club probably didn’t come as a great surprise to anyone.
Wherever you sit on the Nuno debate, there were obvious flaws with his handling of the group and with the players just not stepping up for him, there was a sense of unavoidable inevitability about it.
This of course means we now head into preparations for our Group G clash with Vitesse managerless as the merry-go-round has once again begun, and after October’s slip up against them, we simply couldn’t stomach another defeat if we hope to try and top the table.
With speculation returning about talks being held with Antonio Conte, whether he (or a new face) will be in place by Thursday is open to debate but whoever it is has got a massive job on their hands.
What will be will be, as the ditty goes, we just have to hope our next gamble pays off because the decision makers aren’t going to sack themselves are they.
Agree. I actually see a lot of sense in Wenger’s proposals to reform international games. It is again a subject which has encountered a lot of pushback, but I feel that some of that is fear of change more than anything else. We want to keep on doing things the same way, out of habit, but in reality these things generate a lot of frustration and need changing.
TQ …. I was interrupted and missed the last couple of minutes. I then focused on the PL and didn’t check the score. So it’s better than I thought. lol
It was a well deserved point Geof.
