Gus Poyet

[JBizzle]

Rightly, he gets a monstrous amount of praise on this forum and in general but thought I'd add some more:

So far the signings we have made have been astonishing. Sure, Bloom has invested but the Gus Factor is what contributes the final part of the negotiations. A while ago I posted on a thread saying that if Gus went, I'd be devastated but we'd be in a great position to get in another top quality manager. I still think its the case but I honestly don't think any other manager at this level, coming to this club, would have managed to get players like Bruno, Bridge, Kojak and Vicente.

Yes, he's had money and the new stadium but he's the X Factor at this club that brings in the names.

In short, for all his tantrums, odd racist support and leaving 5 mins early, we have the best manager for the club right now and the most exciting and player enticing manager in the Championship.

Totally agree with you, it'll be interesting to see how Zola does as well and also to see the two go head to head.

 

[Napper]

Agree. What an appointment !

 

[Falkor]

I agree he has had money but not near what over clubs are doing, he's doing brilliant Business.

One transfer wrong for me and it was a loan last season, and another im still not decided on and this is that players season.

 

[OSRGull]

I don't know what we'd do without him!

I wish he wasn't so petulant.

I don't think its that, unless you're speaking of the 3rd definition

Only put those in to pre-empt the inevitable "yeah he's great but he's petulant/throws tantrums/supports racism etc..."

Not a backhanded compliment at all!

Sometimes Gus can be a silly sausage. But I can not think of another manager that could have changed the club from the poor position we were in, to the flair team we are today and get the players that we getting in.

I could not of dreamed of what has happened in the last three years, and I am so excited about next season.

If we can continue to get behind Gus and the team no matter what happens, I think it is going to be great season.

People criticise his South American temperament, but I personally love it. He's so much more interesting to watch than so many other dull managers who can only talk in footballing cliché

His personality is the reason why he can attract such quality players. He's charismatic, passionate and truly knowledgeable about the game. It really irritates me when people start calling him names when he does something inappropriate such as the tantrums and leaving early - he does these things purely out of passion and being a bad loser (as all the best managers are)

Good post. And you are right, I have no interest in us having a manager who is good at losing.

100 percent agree and why he must stay with us, .. Bloom + Gus + Amex = the Xfactor .

Phenomenal manager - will go on to be one of the absolute top, I'm certain of it. We're so lucky he chose us to learn the ropes with - well done Tony.

It's his eccentricities that make up his character. I like a manager who has character (and wins games)

I think he only left early once, because he was pissed off with the officials.

He left early at Burnley and Barnsley but then who could blame him at those places? At Burnley, he left before he chinned the referee.

If I remember correctly, that's what he said about the Burnley game, but he said he didn't leave early at the Barnsley game.

I was at Barnsley and saw him go.

I was at Barnsley and saw him go.

He left the bench bang on the 90th minute, I thought it was to avoid the pitch invasion
