Poyet to Villa? Could it happen

[El Presidente]

To put it into perspective, Gus is shorter odds to be the next Spurs manager than he is the Villa one, and Spurs sacked him prior to taking over at the Albion.

 

[Seagull Steve]

He has the opportunity to become a legend at this club, if he isn't already. Villa are a big club, but he runs the risk of mediocrity with them, as Learner has already told Rafa that there is no money to invest in the squad.

 

[essbee]

I'm getting more than a little tired of these bullshit threads.

 

[wakokid]

You're right mate. They are def one of the better prem sides in that respect. Still think Gus will stay with us though

 

[danwa08]

gus's odds have been slashed because the favourites to take the job have said no, martinez is staying at wigan thus taking a short priced man out the betting, benitez told randy the chairman he wants 30 million transfer kitty, thats been knocked back, bringing gus's price down again, stop being so fookin negative poyet is here to stay villa have no chance of european football this season in my opinion ashley young is outward bound, not really the dream ticket is it......

 

[Deleted User X18H]

And the odds don't mean anything. Michael Owen was something like 2-1 to come to us a couple of weeks ago.

Really? Was it mentioned anywhere?

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

2 years to early?no worries

 

[Muzzy]

My mate who works for the club and I've given him strict orders to put super glue on Gus's brand spanking shiny new chair, then lock him in his lovely shiny new office and throw the keys away

Now there is NO escape

So if you drive past the stadium and see Gus waving, don't forget to wave back!

Villa are exactly the type of club that worry me and are more than capable of getting the man that they want, but Gus has stated in the past that he won't leave us until the club no longer want him.

Rest easy guys n gals

He has enough faith in his own ability to expect a top job one day, I doubt money is a big issue at the moment and I imagine he is LOVING being able to mould a Championship team with a new stadium in his own image from top to bottom whilst getting the full backing of the man who entrusted him with the job in the first place. He has said he wants to stay here and he's just started to reep the benefits of his work so far.

Villa ain't that attractive to him, at the moment....I wouldn't have thought.

We were 2/1 to get Michael Owen, means nothing, calm it down.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

The club now and when Poyet leaves will be "light years" apart from the club he inherited,can the two be compared? why of course,but you need a telescopic device of Hubble like proportions to see the difference.fear not,who cares,he will go,but he is going nowhere next season.

 

[pottert]

I think there is a reason why nobody wants the villa job.something going on behind the scenes for so many people to not want what looks like on paper a good job.

I think Mr Poyet realises that this (being manager of Brighton) is one of those very rare opportunities that only ever come along once every blue moon to really make an impact on a club. He has everything going for him at our club and the sky is the limit as far as potential goes. What would he get at Villa? One or two seasons of constant pressure with the threat of being sacked once they've lost a couple of games in a row. OK he might get more money in the short term but he's definitely a man with his head screwed on and one eye on the future. Mate, sleep well tonight it'll all be ok

Great post. Agreed.

Odds are odds not facts. Owen was 5/6 to join us according to sky bet!! Where is he now

 

[Sloe Joe]

Yes it's official, Gus is joining the Villa and taking Holroyd and Sandanza with him because my local newsagent's dog tod me so.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Ashen faced Ron Knee,the 60's boss of Neasden Athletic is now 8/1 for the Villa post.

Spot on. How many PL vacanices has Gus been 'linked' with now? I make it Chelski, Villa, Wigan, Fulham, West Brom, West Ham - probably more...

He wants to build something special here, and it is such a rarity to have all the ingredients come together at just the right time to be able to achieve this. I remember at the fans forum at the start of last season, when asked a question along the lines of "where do you think the club will be in 5 years?", he answered something akin to "ees compicated, bu I want to take Brighton to Premier League if I can" (the general gist being that he has been given a challenge and he will do his utmost to accomplish it). Gus is not a quitter, he won't walk away now. There is no way he would leave the 'project' at this great club without having at least one or two cracks at getting us to the promised land!

In Gus we trust

 

[Sussex Nomad]

He's not going anywhere at this stage.

He hasn't spent £1.5 million (and counting) on new players this Summer alone, not to mention spending 18 months moulding this team and club the way he wants it just to piss off to Birmingham at the first sign of interest from Villa.

I totally go with this, he would not spend Brighton's money and f*** off.
