Best manager in the league, nobody else could do the job he is currently.
We’re extremely lucky to have him.

Anyone else find themselves uncontrollably smiling when watching his interviews?

He's a lovely man. Very modest and you can see how he keeps all the players grounded and mentally prepared.

Thank you, Nuno. Thank you for the sesaon we've had so far, for the journey we are all on, for giving lots of teams the shítes.
Thank you, you lovely big beardy wonder worker.

Nuno's doing in the Premier league what Cooper did in the Championship, taking a relegation threatened team up into the top 4.
His support staff are key to his success, one man can't do it all, I think they weren't with him at Spurs.

Nuno reminds me of a guy I worked with once who was Portuguese with Angolan background.
The guy was cool as a cucumber and so charming. Nothing phased him. Everything saw him smiling, diplomatic and finding a way through it.

Fine and you're right but I'll still be furious if they find a way to give Nuno a MoM award before Liverpool.
real or not , bad results followed more often than not when a forest manager got it. Nuno got it for oct , swiftly followed by 3 defeats in 4 games. Thankfully , forest bounce back well after that.
I would rather nuno get manager of the year a few months from now.

I remember singing “Brian Clough’s a football genius”. I’m starting to feel the same way about Nuno.

The club should be looking at selling pint glasses with Nuno's smiling face on it.

No they arent
Law of averages dictate managers often lose after getting manager of the month simply due to the unlikelihood of winning so many games & teams showing you more respect
The losses were against Arsenal, Man City & Newcastle. Controversial opinion I know but it may be due to who we are playing and not some farcical curse
like i said , curse or not , i would rather nuno save it for manager of the year. We were poor for all 3 matches. other than arsenal , both newcastle and city struggled in their next few games after their win against forest

Those three sides were also at their best against us in those three matches - City aside, who were usually at that level but are weird right now, Arsenal and Newcastle fans saying that was their best performance. Even Eddie Howe called it at the time.
Got to be at your best to win at this level, especially against the top teams - we weren't and they very much were.

Absolutely. The difference compared with last season is huge. With the uncertainties around the points deduction and the number of outrageous refereeing/VAR decisions against us he looked utterly careworn and almost a beaten man as he made those “Why, Colin? Why?” remarks. The contrast this season is striking - he looks relaxed, constantly smiling and suppressing a chuckle. He and his various assistants are doing an outstanding job. It’s a shame the Manager of the Year award is actually the Manager of the Team that Wins the League award as unless we implode and plummet to the humiliating depths of mid-table his will have been the outstanding managerial achievement of the season.

As always, I'd take the achievement over the award. Top, top manager, and a really likeable man. We are very lucky.

As would I, but in a properly ordered world the scale of the achievement, even when it is falling short of winning the title, would be recognised.

You are of course correct, but I think the world fell out of order (even more!) some time back.
I am happy to provide bottles of my salty piss, after all, who could tell the difference between that and Madri or Stella?

You're correct - at least when it comes to Rui Pedro Silva, who I assume is his most trusted Assistant, as it was he who took charge when Nuno had his touchline ban.
When Nuno went to Spurs, Rui instead chose to pursue his ambition to be a manager in his own right, taking the top job at Portugese side F.C. Famalicão - obviously that didn't go according to plan and he was sacked after just 26 games, of which he won less than a third. Thankfully for us, that meant he was back in the dream team.
