Interesting reactions I must say. What you'll get is a manager who cannot lose. If he keeps you up, which may now be unlikely, he will be a hero. If you drop back to the Championship you have a manager with a proven track record of promotion. Why did we get rid? Who knows. Maybe Cortese did indeed want to trade up. Nigel always struck me as simplistic in his approach and although his record before departure was OK there were times when we played poorly and he seemed unable to exercise any change, particularly in earlier season home games with Norwich, Wigan, Sunderland Swansea and Fulham We passed the ball round an awful lot without getting anywhere and shed points left right and centre. You are right also to point out that you were promoted as Champions last year when he had control of a better squad. Make from that what you will. His cliched interviews are wearing. BTW we play much better stuff with the same squad under Pochettino, and whilst I agree that his record is no better than NA's, I believe his true worth is more likely to be seen next season.
