He did well at Valencia, finished 4th which is about as well as you can do. He did better than well - won manager of the month three times and led them to their highest points total since 2003-04 (when they won the league). They also only lost 5 games all season. He managed some good players there too, including Otamendi and Cancelo as well as Mustafi.

Nuno would be absolute rocket fuel for the changing room. If the players have heard the rumours of his interest, anyone else is now bound to feel like just another manager. They probably understand that it’s absolute bollocks more than anyone other than the Chairman 😂

Lets be honest if there's a foreign manager out there with an exemplary record, he aint going to be rocking up at Stoke anytime soon. He rocked up at Wolves under a somewhat similar situation to the one we find ourselves in now. Ousting a certain Paul Lambert I believe as well. Albeit without an exemplary record, his record at Wolves though, thats a different story. My point was we won't find the perfect fit and theres got to be some give an take. Personally I'd take Nuno in a heartbeat.

Yeah Lambert had done a lot of the unpleasant work following relegation very similar to what MON did here that was more to do with finances than football.

This appointment is a bielsa to Leeds kind if wake up to the championship, let's just hope the board see the potential. Nuno might be intrigued by the club who are stable in finances, very loyal owners, increasing the infrastructure such as fanzone, training facilities, close to his old stomping ground, complete project to get involved with. Just hoping he is sick of going to a club bigger than him and getting shat on, instead thinking that he could be the catalyst to get a good club ticking again. This is what my heart keeps telling my head. My head's not having it though....

Can’t see Nuno getting on very well with Ricky - if nothing else that might make him turn us down.

They are hopefully not gullible enough to think that a random rumour of a manager who has been out of our league for about 5 years should mean that whoever else we get is just “any other manager”. You can hope for better than AN (not hard) and still be realistic. When I next want a new car, I won’t be solemn in the fact that it won’t be a Ferrari.

Part of me hopes if we do appoint a manager we wait until after that game. Or atleast appoint them but let Gally and co do the baggies game. Simply because I know what are fans are like 🤣 can imagine a new manager coming in, losing away at WBA (which is likely) and our fans instantly turning negative against them.

How Stoke is that. Saying he’s Shit before he’s even signed a contract 😂😂😂 Now we are in the questioning what can go wrong and what might be the pitfalls stage. FFS. What would a psychiatrist make of your typical Oatcake contributor. Get him in. He’s got a track record. He’s not English. He’s not Mowbray. JC is off the hook

I was just going to ask about his managerial record other than Wolves before I saw God's post above. Just as I expected, we are getting carried away with the fact he's foreign, aren't we? Yeh I don't get it really, he did well at Wolves but didn't he have a bucket load of money? I wouldn't be disappointed but it's not the most exciting appointment for me. Unless I've missed something from his career that would convince me otherwise.

Not sure if posted but from NorthStokie who used to work for ESPN posted this from Athletic article.
Those close to Nuno say, post-Spurs, he was looking for a fresh project & a mountain to climb in the manner of what he achieved with Wolves, taking a team up a few levels & galvanising a group of mouldable players with small egos for footballers

So what’s latest? Did a loaf of vale fans lump on him Nuno is now favourite on the poll he’s gone ahead of that Hasslehoff bloke. Still only 14 votes for Mowbray, I only voted once honest. I voted both Nuno and Mowbray (and JDT and Hoefkens), the poll isn't ranked. Even Eustace would be ok to me, though. I'm thinking with the wealth of possibilities, even JC should n't be able to fuck it up and appoint Big Sam or Warnock.

Nuno fell out with Karim Benzema.
I can’t wait for him to get hold of some of the no-mark shithouses we have infesting this club.
