Can you be "on the brink" of doing something immediately? If you're considering it but haven't done it, it's not immediate.

Remember the fun times with the managerial search in the summer? We could have that ‘ITK’ bandwagon to look forward to again. Ali Gold must be licking his lips with the potential click through rates coming his way…..

I’ve seen speculation linking Fonseca to be the one to take over should Nuno leave.
Really hope we don’t get rid of Nuno only to then appoint Fonseca. If that’s the plan we may as well keep Nuno. It’s time to realise that manager is one position you take seriously. I have not seen anything to suggest that Fonseca would be able to turn us around.

I'm not sure that someone can be considered a good coach if they cant install any attacking structures...
I think the reason for that change would be as much about playing style as anything else. Fonseca plays attacking football. I'd rather we try to beat the opposition with attacking football, even if we end up failing and finish 5th in the league. Playing turgid defensive football just isnt of interest and fans would turn away from the club
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom"

Presumably these chaps are both managed by Jorge Mendes rather than Charlie Kane?
Didn't Conceicao replace Nuno at Porto?
I wouldn't see 5th as failure.
Given the atmosphere yesterday and with another home game in just 4 days' time, I'm guessing we'll have a decision very soon. That said, levy will know how much of a f a r c e the last search looked so presumabyl he'll want to have the next man lined up before firing nuno

I dont - not a complete failure, and given wage bill, its our natural-ish position. But it wont be the goal clearly given the difference between what 4th and 4th get you

Same here. Right now 5th place will be some sort of miracle achievement

It is a joke how we seem to be Mendes FC. First Mourinho, then Nuno. Plus a number of players who have Mendes as an agent signed for us. Doherty signed, barely got a look in under any manager. Wonder why we signed him? Oh. Same for Wolves. Wolves are the more notable example and Lage is on Mendes’s books too.
I hate our club seemingly being in the pockets of a football agent. I think football agents are massively overpaid for what they offer.
oh and guess which then footballer was first player on Mendes’s books….Nuno

Thought they were getting Mourinho.

Indeed we can never have enough flimflam/made up opinions.
We could still finish 5th this season if we axe Nuno asap and make 1-2 additions in Jan

Oh yes. We can't leave it too late, or else the new managers job will be to avoid a relegation fight as opposed to fighting for a EL spot
