[Albion] Did Tony Bloom make a mistake ...

[8ace]

... giving Poyet (JEC) such a long contract

 

[Fungus]

Nobody knows, do they?

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

Not if he gets £2.5m out of him for breach of contract!!

 

[algie]

Let me look into my crystal ball

 

[Surf's Up]

The mistake he made was the £2.5m compo clause.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Probably the right move given circumstances and goals at the time

 

[8ace]

The mistake he made was the £2.5m compo clause.

How many teams pay that much compo for a manager - even Chelsea didn't pay Real Madrid full whack to get that Mourinho **** back.

 

[Surf's Up]

There is no clause, that's just how much it costs to buy out his contract - either by this club, another club or himself.

Sounds like a clause to me

... giving Poyet (JEC) such a long contract

no

... hiring paul barber - probably yes

ps GP originally 3yr contract - all going swimmingly well - GP offered and accepted extension to 5 yr contract - all going swimming well - PB arrives ....

 

[Trigger]

Yes, he did, poyet is a ****.

 

[Albumen]

No.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Who would of thought we would of wanted Gus out though? We all thought he would probably leave us for a bigger club meaning a decent payout.

 

[Horsham Gull]

I would rather be Tony Bloom then Mike Ashley at the moment

Good shout.

How often do teams get a big payout for their manager though

I think tb is beyond criticism of this. His appt of poyet was a master stroke. The right man at the right time. He gave us a footballing identity, it was great to watch and if we are honest, possibly the best style we will ever see from our team. What the club has achieved ( promotion, cup ties, seat sales etc ) is in no small part down to that decision. We have benefited from his salarynmanyntimes over. Could someone cheaper have done better? We might never know ( or we may be about to find out ).

I am so proud that my son has grown up watching us play the way we have and has been grounded in the art of passing football.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Yeah because Real wanted to keep mourinho

 

[Brownstuff]

No
Reward and recognition and all that
Bloom knew he was onto a winner with Poyet

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Fantastic decision to appoint Poyet. Shame people are now questioning his judgement by wanting Poyet out.
