I reckon Bloom and Barber thought Gus was getting too big for his boots. They wanted to show him whose club it was.
Unfortunately I think that shows that they were naive. Managing the Egos of talented people is a skill. They let THEIR egos get in the way... and it turned into a showdown.
I know... pissed me off too... but Poyet had been shafted for months by then...
Delicate Ego... no doubt about that.. lots of top talent has delicate egos. Did Bloom manage him like a 'artist'? or try and show him 'who's boss'
Until we know, until its out in the open and fixed, top players and top managers will view us with suspicion. We have to go back to where it went wrong and work out what went wrong. We need to know.
Think of that list of players that have left since then.. and the quality of the players we now attract. Oscar going was indicitive too... It wasnt that he didnt want to manage in England. He didnt want to manage us.
I'm amazed we've let the club get away with not really telling us what...
This is bit more catastrophic than any other leaving/sacking that ever happened before though isnt it. This has been apocalyptic. My point is that until we actually know what the hell happened I dont think we will move forward. We've stopped attracting the top players and managers.. they are all...
There were rumours that the Bloom and Poyet relationship had already been damaged. Was it simply down to the appointment of Paul Barber? Was Poyet getting his wings clipped?
Why didnt Bloom see how good it was going? Poyet has a delicate ego... why didnt Bloom manage it better? He was taking...
But the 'reaching the ceiling' comment was made months after the first cracks appeared. Something had already gone wrong.. but we have never found out what.
Will we ever know what went wrong? I'm sure non disclosure contracts were signed... Will the true story ever get out?
I backed the club during the Poyet debacle.. but hasnt he since been proved correct? Whatever it was that was winding him up about out club is still there and has sucked us into...
you think being British is to be tolerant of intolerant people? er no... thats why we fought a war! Compassionate to racists? Open to facists? Get a grip... Being British means not only upholding those values but being willing to fight for them when we see oppression. Fool.
I'm sure they would have done... neither had any time for Enoch Powell and the like. They both supported the British values of tolerance, fairness, compassion and openness. They fought against facism.
Sadly many on here have fallen for the far right wing UKIP values of discrimination and...
you havent really understood that equalities course you went on.
No one said they were different. It was said that they were subject to different social conditions.
Thank goodness that real British values of tolerance, open-ness, fairness and compassion still exist in this Country and that true British people like Russell Brand still stand up for those values.
Its also a real shame that so many here have lost the true British values for which my...
Not in my book. To me British values are about tolerence, openness and freedom.
UKIP in my mind are not representing British values, they are closet racists.
