    Think what happens with the manager is just as important as the players. Arguably more so.

    If Nuno leaves Forest to manage Saints then I can see them being the team the promoted teams need to finish above to survive. European football usually means a drop in league form and can see it being tough for them if Nuno goes

    Yeah, doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a huge market for managers this summer. Spurs probably only “big” job that might be available, then maybe the likes of Forest/Palace/Fulham as well, which might be appealing to Iraola depending on how much change is happening to his playing squad.

    I guess similar to when Koeman left as he knew we were losing so many players, and would struggle to replace, Iraola may feel the same and look to move on even if it looks like a bit of a sideways move initially

    Martinez sent off for Villa at 45+1 minutes.
    Could be the difference between them finishing 4th or 7th

    So the Premier League which is so competitive sees a top four of Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea and the three promoted clubs relegated. Predictable.

    For the likes of Villa and Newcastle, you've got to prefer the Europa. Not gonna win the Champions League.

    If only Ipswich would have been competitive, Spurs could have been relegated.

    If I were a Spurs fan I’d want him gone.

    I do get it to an extent. It's just funny on the face of it.

    My Spurs mate thinks he’s the worst manager in PL history. Not just Spurs, anyone. Taking that team to finishing 17th is the worst performance of any manager ever apparently. Annoying they’ve done the right thing and sacked him

    I wonder if Spurs had finished like 5th and not won anything if he’d still have a job?
