Gus/Leeds

[beorhthelm]

clutching at straws for a (non)story. Gus was at Leeds for a year and walked out. why would he go back there? more likly to see him at Tottenham or Chelsea and both of them are some way off.

 

[Revilop]

Please don't go Gus.

When you do though, I will genuinely cry like a girl.

 

[JBizzle]

I had a dream the Gus left us and went to manage Newcastle, he let us keep Lua Lua until the end of the season but we appointed PAUL STURROCK as boss.

I woke up seriously depressed and was actually crying a little... (Not ashamed to admit that!).

 

[KneeOn]

For 1,000,000th time,

HARRY REDKNAPP WILL NEVER BE ENGLAND MANAGER.

This.

His annoying ****ish attitude, his "loveable" charm and his "I don't think anyone will turn down the england job" speech which are basically "I STILL really want this job, and this speech didn't work last year so maybe it'll work now" can f*** OFF.

Ken Bates SAYS he hates Gus. But does he, really?

Dream!!
Thats more like a f***ing nightmare. Luckily I dont think TB would ever appoint Paul Sturrock, ever.

I had a similar dream a while ago that I went to the first game at Falmer - and it looked a lot like Lancing's ground. I remember thinking "Bloody hell I thought it would be better than this!" One end was just a chalk bank covered in brambles.

 

[les dynam]

I wish naylor would f*** off and go and report on somebody else.

His constant snipping about sneering attitude towards the club and us fans pisses me right off. he views us as some sort of toy town outfit, always banging on about how small we are. And this gus to leeds non-story is a classic example, leeds are in the league above so therefore in naylor's view any albion boss must surely dream of a move to such a prestigious post!

Of course like all people with issues around their self-worth haunted by their inadequacies and failures (how's the career going these days andy... oh, you're STILL working for the argus reporting on a team you hate in a city you hate) he has to put people down down to make himself feel better about himself. So therefore, loves nothing more than belittling the albion to give himself a brief flush of power and success. a cheap temporary thrill before the familier feelings of failure and squandered opportunities return.

 

[fire&skill]

When Gus does go, I think TB will be looking to appoint somebody in his image and the likelihood is that the new man will be taking over a successful team.

'Success' = revenue

'Revenue' = an attractive wage

This should be enough to have people with the right credentials [ie non-hoofing, route one panickers] scrabbling for the job.

God - I'm gonna miss him though [sniff!]

 

[Perkino]

Gus is a young manager hoping to have a successful career, his options are:

Stay with Brighton and get them promoted whilst at Withdean, this will then be followed by a new stadium and subsequently a bit of money to make a go of things in the Championship. Similarly to Hull and Reading the impitus of a new stadium could even see promotion to the Premiership over the near future.

OR

Leave now having won nothing and go to a Championship side who will be fighting for a mid table spot, work with a squad of player who he has to train and indoctorinate about his style of football. In reality his only hope is that he can get them promoted and look like a genius

OR

Off to the Premiership with a badly performing side who are fighting relegation, a risk to his reputation and to work with a squad that is not good enough and is not capable of playing his style of football

OR

A Premiership big gun who has the potential to be competing for European honours, Champions League or Europa, a good squad of able footballers.

Apart from the last option I can't see why he would leave to go anywhere, he has the chance to make a real name for himself with us and could get us to the Premiership and I think he would then want a crack with us for a year or two to see if we can stay there. Unless one of the big 6 or 7 clubs, or equivelant team abroad, come in for him I don't think he will leave.

Personally I'm worried about Leeds, leaking goals and if they find themselves in relegation trouble and sack Grayson think we might be in trouble. Poyet has often said he likes the club and as much as it hurts they are pretty big club

He'll never go to Leeds with Falmer round the corner

 

[murraymints4brighton]

Bloody hell, the bloke has signed a 4 year deal with us and the chances of him going BACK to Leeds are slim. One day Gus will leave but don't worry, we have a perfectly good manager waiting in the wings...

 

[Easy 10]

One day Gus will leave

Don't EVER say that.

I don't think I could handle it.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Naylor knows f*** all about football,
this is the f***ing helmet that made an arsehole of himself on talksport a few years back trying to convince Rodney marsh that maradonna was buying the albion,the sooner the arsegust suss this talentless tit out the better.

On the basis that gus accepted the managers job here on the condition that tano was his assistant I would imagine that tano will be going with gus when the tim comes. On the other hand Charlie Oatway has the ressies playing the same game as the 1st team.......

 

[The Large One]

Andy Naylor said we should replace GOSBTS.

So excuse me if I don't take his opinions TOO seriously.

He has been working there since the late 80's and North Road, after Vinicombe retired he slid straight into his seat and will not be going anywhere. His family were born and raised in Brighton. Just a shame he supports Stoke, but for impartial views on games, it is not professional to have a supporter/journo cover anything they can or will be biased on.

Didn't we have Jamie Baker as chief football writer between Vinicombe and Naylor?

I quite like Andy Naylor. I don't understand why people think he hates Brighton (the team or the town) he always seems perfectly fair and, as he's not a fan, he doesn't see everything through blue and white specs like Vinicombe used to.

He does have this mad idea about not running out to GOSBTS but perhaps he was just trying to stir things up.

Oh, and I can't see Gus going anywhere this season

 

[Pavilionaire]

I posted my view that Leeds Utd should be our adopted "2nd team" over a month ago because of the possible "Poyet to Leeds" fit.

It's great Gus signed a long-term deal although, in football, that doesn't count for much.

As for the Uruguay gig, if there's one job I want him to leave us for it's that one - mainly because he couldn't take our best players with him as they're not from Uruguay.
