I don't believe he's a bad manager. He did a solid job at Wolves, why would he suddenly be poor overnight? It's a relatively short period that he's been at Spurs, no way near enough to so categorically write him off.
The more pertinent question is of course whether he was a good fit for Spurs. He probably was not because he was highly pragmatic at Wolves. So to go to a club where the fans have pretensions that they're going to be playing expansive football despite an upper mid table squad with a sprinkling of quality was strange from the club. Also, the key ingredient within that quality is AWOL.
But it's not as if he was first choice, Spurs seemed out of great options. If you've gone through the prime candidates and you're left with the also rans then you still have to appoint somebody. There's still a reasonable expectation they can do a job, but so far it's just not worked out.
A team like Wolves will but into a more defensive mentality if it brings results more easily than a Tottenham will.
Wolves were spending money and getting in some really good players, but at the same time, because of their position, it was easy to attribute their ascension to his managements and tactics.
I think he got lucky at Wolves with the calibre of player they were bringing in and this helped the lack of questioning of his negative setup.
I think it’s clear the Spurs players aren’t buying into it.
It would be best for all parties to cut ties and Nuno go somewhere where players will buy in to a really defensive setup.
Spurs should go for Hassenhutl. It would be a more natural progression of styles from Pochettino and with a midfielder or two, I think they have the players to make it work.
