Gus achieved all of that, and then Barber pissed him off so much he had to leave.
The club has gone backwards on the pitch ever since.
Not just your post but the hypocrisy on this thread is massive.
Some people posting that Jones should be given a chance whilst on other threads posting we need an experienced manager.
Moaning about Hyypia for not having any experience and then wanting Jones instead!
If Jones gets the job it will be because he is cheap and/or no me better wanted to come because we are bottom three, have a director of football making signings and/or we don't have a budget to compete.
1: How can Poyet be responsible for us getting into the playoffs last season?
2: Gus was sacked, he didn't resign.
3: Hyppia was experienced, he'd managed Leverkeusen.
4: Loads of clubs have directors of football.
5: Our budget isn't in the bottom three in this division by a long way. We've signed some duffers this season that's all.
