So were Spurs right to sack him?

Well, the 2nd half of Anges 1st season wasn't good, last season was shit and Ange got to the end of the season. There was a lot of Arteta out initially from the other lot but he got time. Fergie was close to the sack. IMO, no matter how bad, absolute minimum of one full season. Ideally 2

Nuno was sacked because spurs panicked. He wasn't first (2nd, 3rd, 4th?) choice, was appointed late, it turned to shit and they panicked. Should he have been given time? Yeah. TF was a highly regarded manager when appointed. But this is a step up and yeah, it's a shit show ATM but give him time

Agreed. But changing manager every season is not working. Never has. Never will. It takes time

Well, he's got a contract 🤷. Every manager needs time. It's Spurs - there are no miracle fixes. It's going to take time no matter who's in charge.

I'm now confused. Gavin is not running so surely votes for him are spoiled and not part of the valid poll. Therefore the winner is decided on the first count with 50% +1 of the valid poll.
Or are his votes not actually spoiled and end up transferred? Surely not? That would make no sense to me.

Breaking Bad is superb. But it has ruined television for me. Nothing, IMO, comes close so I start watching something that might be good and an episode in I'm thinking yeah this is ok but it's not BB and I move on.

Granted, poor clearance, but it should never have been given back to him.
