I think he was player manager, but they could at least have found some boots for him.

Conte is probably the best Spurs could have hoped for, especially if the rumours about him being interested in the Man U job are true, so gj Levy I guess but especially gj to Nuno for making 14m for like four months of work

1.4 million per game managed. an absolute legend at the bank.

i think on the whole I'd rather emery in charge of Newcastle for a relegation fight than Howe who seems to be the back up but maybe thats because I've watched us concede a million goals recently and Howe never seemed good at stopping that

without wanting to hate on Emery, I do think if he was hired, Newcastle fans could expect to watch the same kind of defensive football where they concede a billion shots that they did under bruce/jones. Maybe it'll help offensively.

Emery’s problems at Arsenal seemed to be tied to alienating the players after he did pretty well in his first season. He would probably be a bad choice for Newcastle who will presumably be trying to buy all the South Americans that can be purchased from third party owners.

He'll also be walking into a job where he'll inevitably be fired within 2 years for not hitting the impossible standards put on him as well as a media that made fun of him for his accent

Everyone feeling sorry for Nuno just needs to remember he got £14,000,000 for 4 months work. I've read that according to his contract he wouldn't have been paid off if Spurs failed to finish top 6 so hats off to him for tanking the club badly enough that Levy felt it worth handing him almost 10 million extra quid to have him leave immediately. Good work if you can get it.

Do people feel sorry for Nuno? And yeah getting sacked as a manger owns. It’s basically a big payday and a vacation.

I felt a bit sorry for him in the utd game because he was getting so much poo poo (but then I'm a big softy).

Flayer is right though, I don't think he actually wanted the job in the first place and was burned out mentally when he took it.

Yeah. He must know it's a bridge job, but it's a chance to show he's still relevant, garner some sympathy for his inevitable lovely treatment, and most importantly make fat stacks of money

He won the Europa again last year beating United, I think he is still pretty relevant.

He had done very well out of it and can now afford to wait on the sidelines for either the Wolves job to come back again, or (more likely) get in the Watford queue.

If you call missing out on the top four by taking 4 points from the final 5 matches and then letting Chelsea give his team a colonscopy in the Europa League final 'pretty well'.

According to that BBC article Newcastle have already made unsuccessful approaches to Conte, Xavi and Löw.

He's been rumoured for ages but doesn't want to be a manager anymore and we need one of those more urgently than a director of football
