Clear The Air Meeting Today

Another reason why Gus is gone.

Paul Barber,,,,,the man Gus couldn't see off!!!!!!!!

 

[BensGrandad]

Does it matter? If goes then so be it, he will be far easier to replace than Gus.

.

Werent there a number of applicants when he applied and got the job.

I would imagine so. Wasn't Gordon Smith rumoured to be interested?

I believe he was interviewed.

There was many,,,funny how Bloom appointed someone who has history with Poyet, don't you think.....This club is Bloom's show, he appoints the cast. Barber maybe everyone's idea of the pantomime villain, but it was Bloom the cast him in that role......and I trust Bloom 100% to do what's right for this/his club.

 

[BensGrandad]

When he was appointed was this history with Gus apparent, I never saw it mentioned anywhere not even on here.

 

[albionalex]

Is there actually any 'history' with Gus?

People who get inside info need to be aware of the rashomon effect.

Gus isn't going to be telling everyone the club's position with great accuracy, and the club (bloom, barber, etc.) aren't going to give you Gus's point of view with any great accuracy. Just because you've heard something from "a good source" doesn't mean it is the truth. It could just be true from a certain point of view (like darth vader killing annakin skywalker!)

Thought he was marketing director at spurs when gus was sacked. How much imput into that we dont know, but spurs were bottom at the time

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Why say fact. I can tell you Poyet did speak to Reading and offered him twice the player budget that we were offering (24m is what I was told). The club were expecting him to go and were surprised when he turned them down.

They are facts.
What is your source?

 

[bhawoddy]

i can tell you with absolute certainty.................. i know nothing!!! but am enjoying the thread immensely....thats also a fact!!

 

[kevtherev]

You haven't got to be mystic meg to know Poyet is always going to have issue's with a guy that's seen him off before. That's just the nature of the man, his ego probably can't cope with it.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

me personally, I think it would be massively backwards step to reconcile on any terms - Gus has done his best and that will always be appreciated and respected, but staying now is only delaying the inevitable and I want a manager in for whole of next season (and beyond) who is 100% committed to the club properly, and not just until a better offer comes along. Once the basic (blind) trust is broken, patching it up will only be a short term solution. If he stays I will of course back 100% but for me it will be the wrong decision for the wrong reasons and we will regret it next season at some point.

Good post...as David Bowie said in the film the 'Labyrinth'...."What's said is said"....you can try and reconcile but you never forget...

As marketing director what input would PB have had into the sacking of Ramos and Poyet? From what is shown about Daniel Levy I would say very little if anything.

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

According to a work colleague who has business connections with the Bloom family....

Huge fall out between Barber and Gus, Bloom stuck in the middle, clear the air talks being held yesterday and today, Gus reigned in on a few things and review of playing budget has taken place, extended contract for Gus and his staff with a personal apology to follow with regards to his post Palace comments and subsequent e mail sent to senior management within the club. (The basis of his suspension)

Not spreading bullshit, just passing on what I was told today by someone who I trust, take it or leave it.

You might just be passing on in good faith what someone told you, but you are most definitely spreading bullshit!

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

Looking increasingly likely that Gus is staying

Up yours anti-Gus brigade, the legend that is Gus Poyet could be here to stay afterall - Climb back on this bandwagon lads, because your current one reeks of shite!

Eagerly anticipating all the U-turns and retracted words if it happens

Errrm. I hope you have have something soft to land on, because if this thread has got you all excited, you are in for one hell of a fall

One comma is enough by the way Kev.

I was told by a players parents that Gus DID NOT meet with Reading, you say he definetly DID, you can see why these rumours go about can't you, truth is none of us know just got to sit tight, its becoming obvious the O/P didn't know for a FACT either, I think people are just posting anything in the hope eventually someone will be right

Executive Director of club and Levey's right hand man,,,,,he was Marketing Director at FA.Do your homework lol. He played a massive role and a massive role in appointing Redknapp.

 

[Jim D]

(like darth vader killing annakin skywalker!)

This story is getting more and more surreal - so Barber is Vader and Poyet is Skywalker? Does that make Bloom the evil emperor?
