Tonda comes across as a bit boring and on the face of it doesn't seem very inspiring. No one will give the smallest shit about any of that if he keeps being successful. Managers can achieve success in different ways. 

I seem to remember us having a successful manager and lots of people cared he was boring

8th in the premier league was really boring, as was the European campaign.

Boring.

I remember 5 of us all fell asleep at the Emirates in the Quarter final too when we beat Arsenal.

Boring.

Qualification for that European Campaign had nothing to do with him.

And yes, that 8th was really boring too.

One of only 6 major cup finals in our history 

only finished higher 9 times in our history 

for a club like us that’s a successful season

No but just showing a bit of appreciation for a very good season especially as the hand he was dealt player wise

Remind me again how many points we got. I'm fairly certain that we've had more points a lot more that in out history.

It wasn't all that good. And don't get me started on the way he treated Fonte in our European campaign.

but we got results...................and you cant compare squads like for like because we had a better setup IMO.

To sum up Puel, he wasn’t sacked for finishing 8th, getting to a cup final, doing boring interviews or any other strawman argument. He was sacked because of the direction he was taking us and the downturn in results, particularly at home.

Fonte didn’t play in Europe because he was 33 and never going to play three games in a week.

I don't see why he couldn't. Did he play in any European games?

Christ, I saw the thread title and thought Puel was on his way back as manager 🤣
