Nuno In

[Eerie Decent]

Welcome, Nuno son.

Not my first choice, wish we were more forward looking and all that. But he's here, and to be honest, he's probably what we need given everything we all know is wrong with the club and the team at present.

Positives are he was a goalkeeper, so he'll surely make the best decision on that front going forward. Hermansen has looked shocking, but those that had watched him regularly all rated him, so who knows, maybe in a different set up he might not be so bad, but expect Areloa to be first choice.

Brought Kilman into the Wolves team, and built him into a player we were stupid enough to pay £40mil for. Can't see if myself, but maybe he'll make him look competent, whatever way, the defence will improve under him. It can't not. And set pieces against us won't feel like penalty's.

He favours attacking fullbacks who get forward, and ours are suited to that. JWP won't start from now. The biggest positive of this appointment. He loves wingers, and we have one of the best in the league in Bowen, a rapid one in Summerville, and Guilherme will hopefully get some game time as back up in a style that will suit him. Fullkrug can maybe be our Chris Wood. Probably not, but lets hope so.

Ovbviously he's a counter attacking manager, but I don't think he's from the last 2 years of Moyes playbook. Hopefully it'll be the early version of Moyes, with quicker pressing and faster counter attacking. Let's fucking hope so. I remember Forest beating someone 7-0, and they scored loads of goals throughout the season.

The main problem remains, but fucking hell, this change was needed.

[Massive Attack]

Fuckin hell. When I first read that I thought it was just about them carrying on in their previous roles. If they've all been promoted to the first team it just smacks of drastic cost cutting and doesn't bode well for the new manager at all, or for the academy's future.

It's definitely got a strong whiff of that hasn't it.

I'm in two minds about this. I do see it being a good thing with their strong connection and inside knowledge of all things West Ham and Academy kids. I just question whether they should be moved from their old roles where they all did great work nurturing the Academy that will now be disrupted. Hopefully we get decent replacements where they carry on the great work already done. 

Also I find it unusual that a Manager doesn't bring in his own trusted staff he's worked with before and goes with a cobbled together staff already in other roles at the Club. One thing's for sure and that Sullivan will be glad he doesn't have to fork out for new expensive staff so he saves plenty of money which will make him happy. He best not have had any input in to it because of worrying abiut saving a pound note after spunking so much on the previous lot, don't trust the cսnt..

I do like old Potts and Robson Robsoh and hope it works out. They are good decent West Ham men who clearly love the Club which is obviously a big plus.

Interesting that a week in he's yet to appoint any of his coaching staff and stated that he's currently happy working with the youth coaches, who brief him of the ethos and culture of the club.

He's currently saying all the right things so let's hope he's not another pretender, the law of averages must surely means that the odds are in our favour of getting one right 

[fraser]

Talk is meaningless. Both 'loser Lop" ("big noise") and pathetic Potter came in with the big talk spiel and delivered shite.

However, I do have more confidence in Nuno than those two clowns, who I sussed out from the start as total frauds.

Hedging your bets for your "I called it" post? 

Me being right all the time clearly triggers you, stalker!

Stalkee? 
I think you're missing the point of a forum, oh and Potter

I don't think Nuno has been talking big at all, think everything so far has been very measured, it's not been too cliched, delivers like he means business. 

I like the cut of his jib, let's hope he turns us into a good team.

[Massive Attack]

JWP didnt work out for us, he didnt pick the team, cock piss did.

​​​​​​i dont like the abuse hes been getting, hes definitely not a cսnt. I hope he finds a great club in the championship in January, lives happily ever after, sets up the "JWP golf and free kick academy" Will probably end up being a decent manager somewhere one day.

But fair play to nuno for being straight that hes not part of his plans.









 

He won't get much work from the "free kick" side of that academy. He should have set that up before 2023.

I do agree that he seems like a decent fella. I think various managers coached any intent out of him. For years now, he's just seemed content to pass sideways or backwards for 90 minutes. It's now instinctive, which is what Nuno has seen and doesn't like.

 

He started off great, it was like whatever he brought to west ham was coached out of him. No wonder no one wants to sign for us, it's a career graveyard.

 

 

I said as the season progressed that Ward-Prowse was becoming victim of being Moysed. It's happened so many times that Moyes has that effect. His numbers contributing towards goals were very good up to around the turn of the year but eventually dry up more the end of  the season nears in all competitions. 

I do feel however that now he's coming up to 31 in a couple of weeks he is struggling more to keep up. January would be a good time for all concerned to move him on now.

He is having a rough start. 

Newcastle away next aswell.

Potter could be in there before the end of the month!

[Alfs]

Forest fans were singing for Nuno after Postecoglou's latest failure, and calling for him to be fired after just 23 days in charge.  And if he does get fired, he'll walk away with a few more million.  Nice work if you can get it.

Yes that teethy breathing thing was really odd

funny old world 

[Massive Attack]

He doesn't gulp and suck his saliva through his teeth after every sentence like the other weirdo always would. Instant improvement.

[El Scorchio]

He's a lot more personable and charismatic than any manager since Bilic.

[Chip Shop Charlie]

From that presser he comes across as honest, no nonsense, no BS and has a nice smile... what's not to like.

Seriously though, let's give him 8 games to see what he can do with the team...just a small improvement in the team spirit each game and I'll be happy 

[Massive Attack]

Nuno corrected himself when asked about Ward-Prowse... 

"James didn't... was not involved. Let's see, we have 1 more Training session.. We need all the Squad to be available and healthy."

[,]

It’s reassuring to hear that Nuno takes no nonsense from his squad. By contrast one of the things that came out about the Bilic stewardship, especially the relegation threatened time,  was how relatively lax players and staff were at training.

Moyes would not put up with laxity, not sure about Loppy and Potter appeared too touchy feely for me. 

[Takashi Miike]

[eusebiovic]

Nuno knows JWP can't hack it so there's no future for him as regards to Todibo Potts senior and Robson probably gave Nuno the run down and that was enough for Nuno.

Maybe...but I think he's smart enough to suss out that Todibo might be a problem for him. Regardless of how underwhelming Lopetegui and Potter reigns have panned out on the pitch both have had serious issues with him which doesn't bode well for the future.

Nuno has a reputation for not tolerating that sort of nonsense. He's a nice guy up to a certain point but he won't put up with somebody who ain't on board. That is non negociable.
