Gus favourite for Swansea job

[Washie]

Yes, Poyet might want to go to Swansea, but will Tony give them permission to speak to him?

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

It could be the end of June before we get a manger installed

Has Christmas moved to June??



And some people were saying on the other thread that spelling doesn't matter.......

 

[catfish]

Ees complicated boyo.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Anyone know how much longer Ian 'Olloway has got left on his contract, and could speculate on how much compo would be linked to that time, compared to Gus's??

No idea, but even if it was 1 year left, i can see Blackpool holding out for a high number in compo, but we would hold out for high compo as well because of his contract length. Ball should start to get rolling tomorrow, but i cant see it being sorted for a good couple of weeks - or until Gus rules himself out.

Also nice to see in this topic they want Gus to leave - i mean its not as if he has taken us from the bottom of League 1 to the to half of the Championship in a short space of time

there's a poyet thread on the swansea forum, that has a link to this thread.....some of them are pissed off that some of our fans consider it a bad move


The link wouldn't work which is a shame because I wanted to see in black and white (Swanzee pun intended) the Welsh kidding themselves of their self worth. He ain't goin nowhere for no money.

Is it just me or does everyone read the Swansea board with a welsh accent.............I just can't read it in English....

It does work mate, if not go to planetswans and there is a thread called "Poyet - Hypothetical"

this is what one of their fans said

"There's some right big time c*nts in their fan base isn't there

Are you sure that's the Brighton board? I mean 'Brighton' ffs. Who the f*ck do they think they are?"

Are Swansea prepared to pay us £2m for Poyet? He's got 3/4 years left on his contract, if they want him, show us the money!

I think the compensation deal is going to be nearer to £5M because TB would have that sum in mind as an "escape clause" for Gus to leave before his contract is up when he signed the extension.

 

[albion534]

If this was last summer, I would be terrified, but of gus left now, I am not as worried as I think we have the potential to bring in someone very good

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Some Swansea fan is very deluded. Dreaming of their next manager with very rosy specs on it seems.

" I wouldn't be shocked if Pepe Guadiola, turned round and went f**k it lets give them a go. Before you all dismiss it as lunacy. He went from Barca to Brecia as a player. He won everything with Barca, and left doubting his style of play and the media.

A non media pressure job, with a club aiming along the same principals and ethos could be something that would intrest him.

Dont rule out AVB either. "

I think they just wanted to use that headline. Reading the article it suggest Laudrup is a more likely candidate.

I've just been on odds checker, Holloway is evens and Gus is about 3/1 - sounds about right to me

 

[Rugrat]

Agree with this very much. One of those two, if not both, will seriously struggle next season & probably get relegated. However, if Swansea do come calling, I can't help but feel the temptation will be hard to resist despite him previously saying he would only leave for something special.

I think the events surrounding Rodgers and Lambert are perfect examples of why we can totally ignore what Managers say when it comes to their own ambitions

Pity ... he's a bit of a loon and seems to have an attitude of "if we can score more than them we win", but if Gus were ever to go I'd like to have seen Holloway here

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Interesting to see Gus is still 4th favourite for Villa and 2nd favourite for Swansea above a lot of championship managers and teams that finished above us. I would have thought that Holloway and Houghton would have been above gus in the pecking order for both.

 

[Northstandite]

Just said on ATR that Gus is 3/1 favourite to go to Swansea if Rodgers goes to Liverpool

SSN had the latest odds this morning.

Holloway was Evens
followed by:
Gus 7/1
and the usual suspects all similar odds to Gus.

I'm doubtful that a future Chelski manager fancies upping sticks and living in South Wales for a few years.

 

[supaseagull]

Personally gus hasn't done anywhere near enough to be a prem manger,he still has a bloody lot to learn.

that is exactly it...other than a league 1 promotion, what else is on his cv? Nothing!

Brendan Rogers took Swansea who were favourites for the drop in the championship and got them promoted. He then, with the same squad kept them in the premier league against all odds and led then to 12th in the table.

Now THAT is an achievement!

Gus has done nothing to prove that he could be a Premier league manager yet and clubs won't take a gamble on that record.

Why is Nigel Adkins NEVER mentioned for these jobs?
