The Nuno appointment was always likely to not bear fruit and I'm glad it's off the table. Yes, he's done well at Wolves (still let go mind) but he was backed financially, so he's used to that kind of support. We on the other hand are a very different proposition for Nuno (and his backroom team) and we can't be upsetting the applecart to much when we're at this crucial juncture in our top flight journey.

Can't help thinking there's a hint of the 'emperors new clothes' about him too so happy for someone else to take the chance with him and his demands.

Just hoping Dyche or Cooper (slowly warming to the idea of him) end up with us now.

Sadly, it's the usual storey, I suspect the stumbling block was once again lack of cash investment available for investment in new players and too many changes needed making this a very high risk of failure job which no decent proven or even up an up and coming manager would want to put at risk his future reputation!

The reason it has become apparent why he ran a mile, was he was never serious about coming here. We were used as bait to flush out a better offer from Everton or somebody else.
In retrospect, is he that good, Wolves only just finished above us after spending considerably more than us on Mendes clients.

Amusing if no other club will bow to his wishes

I think the Dyche ship has sailed, unfortunately. I am a big fan of Ismael but not sure SP will take the risk ( although he may have to). Cooper is an interesting one, has a great record with young players and got Swansea to 2 consecutive play offs. Swansea fans don’t appear to rate him but is that because he had to work without being backed and the squad was not that good? I don’t know.
I suspect Lampard didn’t fancy the job for whatever reason
Where thus leaves us I do not have a scoobie

I'd assume so - not many other premier league clubs in the SE have a vacancy do they? John Barnes reckons he is a good fit

and don't think Spurs would be a likely option giving the loathing between fans
