There are politics at play, regarding player procurement, and the subsequent power struggle is being played out in front of a stunned watching public. The next few days and Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace will be vital to what happens next for the Portuguese boss.
WHAT NUNO SAID
Nuno said: "I always had a very good relationship with the owner – last season we were very close and spoke on a daily basis. This season it is not so well (between us) but I always believe that dialogue is important because my concern is the squad and the season we have ahead of us. Our relationship has changed and we are not as close. I think everyone at the club should be together but this is not the reality."

All parties will be relieved to return to the normality of playing football again on Sunday when they face Palace. But the public nature – and obvious anger of Nuno during the press conference – suggests this one will not end well.
