Today we celebrate Gus Poyet's three years with the Albion. During his three years of tenure he has obviously transformed the clubs fortunes & together the club is a very different animal to the one he join in November 2009.
I would say that he can on the whole only be congratulate for the success he's brought us, & be of so grateful for the new players he's managed to bring to the club. Who would have said back in October 2009 that would have the likes of Wayne Bridge, Vicente, Bruno, Kuszack, to name but a few, that these names would be playing for little old BHAFC by November 2012. NO ONE of course.
But his only one major mistake was not keeping Glen Murray with the club. Word has it we offer him £7,500 a week back in the summer of 2011, but our great enemy offer him £12,000 a week. Whether this was the case or not one think has been proved for no transfer money as Murray was out of contract Palace got him ridicurlously cheap & he has proved to be a massive lose. I'm sure now & again Gus must look back & think how many more goals would CMS have scored last season & this had Murray been holding the ball up for him in attack. Not to mention the amount of goals Murray would have scored himself. One thing Murray has always been is a goalscorer, he's done it in every League he's played in.
One thing is for certain, we wouldn't be still looking for that out & out goalscorer now had we kept him.
So many thanks Gus you are great & I'm sure you will continue to be so, but like all of us your not perfect. Lets hope by the end of the season we don't live to regret it & we see our great enemy take all the glory.
Love the way numpties know or get 'word' of what the players earn and what we have offered for them. All totally hearsay!
