...heads the betting to become the next SWINDON manager.
Go Gus!
Go Gus!
His ego wouldn't allow him to go to Swindon, no chance.
His dream Leeds job is available...

Is that a bad thing?
I wouldn't go for a job worse than my previous one if
1) I didn't NEED the money
2) I thought I could get a better job.
To loose out to Steve Evans must be galling.
Don't know about others, but for me it's because of ( amongst other things ) his total disrespect shown towards the club at the end with his touting, and his 'ceiling' comments etc.He turned down the job before Rosler.
I know it's hilarious but why are fans still so keen to put the boot into him?
Not saying it is a bad thing, especially given how shit Swindon are. I still think he believes he's a much better manager than he actually is though, couldn't see him taking most Championship jobs, which lets face it is the highest level he's been successful at.

Did he turn down Reading ? ( I know Tano said he did). Or did it not quite happen that way? Is the full truth out there ?He was answering press questions. His honesty was refreshing, but others saw it as touting. When he did get the chance to go, he turned it down ie Reading.
He said he enjoyed his time at Leeds, he liked the fans, and his son went to Leeds University. He also said he would like to go back to Valencia one day.
He would argue (just playing the devils role here), that he came in and kept a sunderland team bound for relegation in the prem, then guided them to a wembley final and was sacked with them outside the relegation zone.
He could argue that was an "ok" job done at prem level, whether one chooses to believe that or not.

Yes, if he was referring to Burke he was right, but there was no indication that his 'ceiling' was Burke-related.Turned out he was right about Burke though eh? As was Oscar.
I am totally ambivalent towards Gus tbh but I think - albeit with a horror season and via a roundabout route - that we have arrived at a much better place than when he left. Great mix of youth and experience, Category A Academy, fantastic British manager playing exciting football and who has a bagload of contacts and experience at this level. All that has relegated Gus to just another footnote in history for me.
Seeing him end up at Swindon WOULD be funny though.
