Gus Poyet: best win of my career

OP has overplayed his hand. Good effort though, 7.5/10.

Buzzer means the March game against Palace, not the play-off match (confused me, as well... didn't we soundly beat them and then go on a superb unbeaten run?!). I think he's saying that it could have destabilised the run-in if word had got out that he wanted to leave. But as you say, I think the fact that we were just about to Palace wouldn't have really entered into it if he thought (for whatever reason - lack of budget...? Barber...? Something else we don't know about...?) that things had come to a head.

I have to say that is a bit over the top. Doesn't feel like that to me, he still has a lot to do and it was just another backs to the wall performance.
It probably meant a lot to Gus because he has a lot to prove and I don't begrudge him that. Will I wish him good or bad luck? no he can make his own luck. Will I larf once the other clubs suss him out, probably, but only because it will show that he hit the roof not us.

You're still confused. Commander is talking about the first Palace game.
I stand by comments because Poyet himself acknowledged that he had underestimated the rivalry. Freedman knew it and "got" it and had his players fired up for the game. Poyet learnt from his mistakes and made sure the Albion players understood the importance of the second Amex match. Wurzel made the same mistake that Poyet did in the first game.

I hope he carries on doing really well there. We hired him here to go a job and i would guess he exceeded most sensible-minded expectations with incredible speed, if not with always the greatest grace. Now, he's elsewhere and looking to turn a club around at a higher level. He should be proud and if this feeds into his sense of value and right to work his way to the top, then so be it. That's him and who he is and might well be in his favour in the long run. I don't feel undone by his supposed egotism. He's not there to guide me in my life and my working envionrment. He's there to make football clubs have a sense of identity and a combination of sturdyness and aptitude on the pitch, and he bloody well did and does. Good on him and all the best.
Anyone can be a "Director" - one form to companies house and you are one. And clearly you really are one !
How clever are you ? Asking yourself for a blow job ? "Run my own company" - my arse - well the only employee will be YOU !
That was a quick edit !
