Poyet: I'll go home

[clippedgull]

Argus:

Albion boss Gus Poyet has blasted his players for abandoning the passing game he has implemented. He branded last nights defeat as the worst performance for 18 months.

Selected quotes...

If we are going to play like we did in the last 20 minutes I'll go home. If the players are going to kick it, I'll go home. I don't care. So we will see if the players are brave enough to pass the ball on Sunday.

Me? I'm going to sit down on Sunday against Barnsley and watch my team pass the ball. If not I'll go home.

Go home then, stop bleating about it gus, and get on with it....., we have trust in you but throwing your toys out the pram, I want my ball back is not going to help.

I love Gus's passion, but I wish he wouldn't be so childish at times...

 

[kevtherev]

And take my ball and stumps with me, and tell my mummy. I don't like you boys anymore.........f*** sake Poyet grow up and take some responsibility, nothing is ever this guy fault is it?....It's his team, his players, his loans and he HAS spent the money.

That 'I'll go home' thing is getting annoying already.

Double this. The whining man's utility threat. Uses it to his players, uses it to the fans. I suggest he doesn't try it on Tony Bloom. It's a spoilt child response.

If he is going to continue throwing his toys out of his pram, I'll go home...

 

[Shooting Star]

Fine Gus, because last night it was your fault that we didn't play the passing game. If you're that unhappy about it, stick someone on the left wing and get a message through to Harper and Greer to stop punting it forward.

If our current form continues much longer I will not be vaguely suprised if Gus flounces out of here. He made noises last season around the time of thr FC United game when he came in for some criticism, and made veiled threats about leaving and he now appears to be making the same noises. It's all a bit childish and disappointing imo and he should accept that some fans are gonna be pissed off. If you milk the plaudits you have to man up when the flak comes.

I think it's about time Gus openly kicked the players up the backside. No more Mr nice guy. It's time for the players to stand up and be counted. On the other hand may be one could question whether Gus has put together a squad that is good enough for championship football on a weekly basis.

Go on lads, keep moaning about Poyet and his pathetic comments. You're quite right and with luck he'll decide he's had enough and walk out. Just as long as Ellis Short is on the phone immediately making Gus an offer he can't refuse so we can take the best manager in your history off your hands. Gus Poyet isn't just a good manager, he's going to be a great manager; and ten matches without a win doesn't alter that.

What I always find annoying in football is how many get paid a fortune for failure (I am not applying this directly to Gus by the way, more of an obvious statement!) but when a manager gets it all wrong and the inevitable happens, they get paid a bloody fortune to go, we have all seen it time and time again.

I do have long term faith in Gus by the way, but will be interesting to see what happens if the "going gets tough"

Stick to moaning about Bruce, can you afford to sack him

On the BBC site "We've got a way of playing football that's my way, we're trying to create an identity in the football club that's mine and at the moment the team is not capable of passing and moving the ball and playing football.

Me, me, me. Starting to sound like a South American dictator. I hope Tony Bloom has some checks and balances in place to keep Gus in the real world. Power corrupts if not handled correctly

Again, not many times I agree with you, but the statement that is highlighted above I think is 100% correct.

We can't afford not to!

This. But he does need to make some changes - especially to his warm up routines!

Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water.

 

[The Large One]

Oh dear, there are some poor wee over-sensitive souls on here, aren't there?

 

[Oscar]

Well, I expected the usual doom merchants on here today but I wasn't quite ready for some of these digs at Gus. Quite sickening really. Are some of you actually questioning his ability as a manager and coach? Really?
