If I’m being honest, I don’t see the problem with Stoke turning away from Nuno if that’s what he wanted.
Whether he’d be a good appointment or not, he’s simply too expensive.
Bend you over with a platinum contract with a whole army of first team coaches on equally platinum contracts for their position.
And you’re still in the very same position as any other potential manager … a huge huge gamble. Except with this fella you have to keep in post because you can’t afford to sack him and his entourage.

Pete Smith is getting fed rubbish by the club. Nuno Espírito Santo is going to get round two interview over the weekend. I really hope he gets the job. He has fly in to UK since Thursday, you don't do this for the fun of it.

Bold statement given I've spent the afternoon thinking Nuno and his big blue watch will not be prowling the managers zone any game soon. I hope you're right, if only for the madness that will ensure IF he gets the job.

This is probably the biggest decision they'll make in the history they've owned the club, they have the money to make it happen so anything else makes them look small-time and going for the cheap fix.

What’s the issue if he wanted his own staff? The ones we’ve got now are shite. We fucked them all off (Delap, O shea) hired Gallagher who is ANs man and will undoubtedly leave when AN gets a new job. Leaving us with precisely no one. Just let him have his fucking staff. Not to mention we’ve no idea if Gallagher is actually any good if he were to stick around under the new man.

Apparently, people want us to just spend everything on a manager and coaching staff and have nothing left over to improve the team.

There is no candidate who would unite the fanbase, even Pep would have his haters on here if he joined, I can imagine the posts… his tippy tappy nonsense The only thing that truly unites a fanbase is success, get promoted and nobody will care less who is in charge for a few weeks, then the new season starts and the whole process starts again.

Not heard of winter tyres? Brilliant cars in the winter especially 4wd models. Not if you drive through a flood as the air intakes low and mines now been wrote off, after someone raced through on the opposite side and sent a wake into my car. You're gonna need a bigger boat!

From the Sentnul
Nuno no no Stoke-On-Trent Live understands that Nuno Espirito Santo hasn’t applied for the job nor has he spoken to the club about the vacancy. He is not currently in the running to replace Alex Neil.
💔 😓

We weren’t interested in Steven Fletcher according to The Sentinel, days maybe even hours later we announced he signed for us……

Whoever we employ we are likely to be back in the same position in 18 months to 2 years either because they've succeeded or because they've failed. If you want a manager for 5 to 10 years employ one no fucker else will ever want. Oh we already did that once.

The longer this goes on, I think the more likely it gets.
It wouldn't take a week and us giving a caretaker and second match if we were plucking SJE, Heckingbottom etc...
