Gus gets the boot

[Barry Izbak]

Taricco and Oatway gone too

I expect to See Charlie back at The Albion before the end of the month

My understanding is that there was a payoff. Poyet contacted the LMA and they advised him to take the offer from the Albion, rather than go through the court.

My only source is from the boardroom of another club where they were singing Bloom's praises for standing up to the "tradition" of simply paying off managers. They viewed it as a potentially important milestone.

That said, the only thing we know for sure is that we don't know.

I'd read the press release very very carefully!

Care to elaborate?

Chelsea fans cope with their manager who has the same traits. United the same with SAF.

Gus behaved childishly in his final days, but it wasn't in his best interests for us to lose in the playoffs, from either a personal cv or financial perspective.

Thing is SAF and Mourinho have both earned the right to be arrogant; they have actually achieved great things in football. Gus hadn't and still hasn't.

Glad to see Mr Ego get the boot BTW. Still no plan B then Gus. Spain for you maybe? Good ****ing riddance.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha etc

Gus will turn out to be a good head coach if he can find a set up that suits him. I get the feeling that may be in Spain.

I'm sure he'll be turning up at the Amex next season with Fulham, if we both stay up.

Peterborough away *cough*

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Included within 'other creditors'

So up to £398K potentially. Previous year's OC's were £625K.

Blackburn offered Conway a wage we could not. He was wanted but could not be afforded.

Could say the same thing about Murray. Palace offered him a longer contract and a lot more money.

 

[mooey]

I d have him back at the drop of a hat.class manager and my favorite to manage us he has also made us a fair bit of cash.good luck Gus

I think they'll wait until Christmas before they get Advocaat in.

Snowball in hell's chance of that...

 

[Lurchy]

Sounds like it's a case of history repeating for Poyet, nothing much learnt from his time to us and had sounded out other clubs about taking on the manager role...

Kama and I think Leo isn't doing bad at the moment, but looks like he will be relegated, along with Mr. Barnes and the end of the season.

History repeating itself indeed. Will The Gus apologists be happy he was angling for a move to Palace?

So many similarities. Just like at the albion 2 years ago.

There must be a common factor somewhere

You might but the man that really matters wouldn't.
As for class manager, Poyet has no class. He is boorish, petulant and self-centred. In managerial terms, he is immature and unlikely to improve. Those that claim it was the best football seen at BHA under Poyet, clearly don't go back very far.

Nothing surprising there.
Those in the Gus fan club, seem to ignore the fact that he was doing exactly the same at Brighton. Eventually, his ego just ran away with him and he saw nothing wrong in having two meetings at Reading, whilst our season was still going on. He didn't see anything wrong in indicating to Reading that he was happy to accept their offer. He didn't stop Reading holding internal meetings with players and staff, to inform that GP was going to be their next manager. He saw nothing wrong in returning to BHA, informing them of Reading's interest and expecting them to improve his terms accordingly.
Reading pulled the plug on Poyet. Brighton pulled the plug on Poyet and surprise, surprise, so have Sunderland.
The man cannot be trusted. He is an odious individual, manipulating and pulling strings to suit himself. A hand-wringing smooth ' Uriah Heap ' Chairmen keep him on a tight rein because they don't trust him. His record speaks for itself. Goodness knows how many other clubs he tried to seduce whilst at BHA. No wonder TB lost patience with him.
