Advertising himself available as a PL manager. Nice bit of self promotion. Liverpool?
Still advertising himself as available for work whilst under contract in his current job. I wouldn’t employ him.
Sorry, I think a lot of you have missed a very important point on this thread ...... @jackalbion was only 13/14 when Poyet joined! 
Jack, I'm surprised your mum let's you go to so many matches when you can only be, what, 16/17 now?
Talk about 'time passing', blimey, was it really that long ago?

In fairness, he's only contracted with Greece until the end of March, so he has every right to put the feelers out.

Maybe with a little bit more subtlety than on Sky Sports News though ? I agree with pretty much every post on this thread whether pro or anti Poyet. The football was amazing. I’ll never forget the performances at Peterborough and Charlton. Nevertheless he showed a lack of respect towards Tony and our club and no employee can be allowed to get away with that. If as suggested he goes to manage a Championship club then it may not be long before he starts publicly advertising himself to the PL once again. Unless he has grown up.

Oh, it's brazen, I'll give you that! I'm not sure he has a subtle setting though.
Such a shame he ruined his legacy with the manner of his exit as the journey up to that point was joyous!

I don't feel he ruined his legacy at all.
Within 12 months he came in and set the foundations to transform us from being struggling / bang average third division junk to swashbuckling champions - at JUST the right time to get us to that first season at the Amex. Then under him we pushed on to become competative serious contenders in the Championship, before it all went sour.
Blooms appointment of GP was a GENIUS move, and provided the spark that helped us towards that epic 2016-2017 season, and where we find ourselves now. Gus was the right man at the right club at the right time. Anyone who can't see that and who's opinion is just blinded by how it all ended is a bit of a spanner, IMO. (not referring to you specifically btw, but they do lurk amongst us).
I've been called worse than SPANNER, don't you worry
Tainted is probably a more accurate description than RUINED, but I still think it's a huge shame that someone who did such great things for the club showed himself up to be such a twunt. I think it's possible to separate the two and appreciate what he did for the club, whilst also thinking the man himself is a plum for the way he acted at the end.
You're dead right about the spanners though - there are also plenty who trash Potter's work too, just because of the way he left.
*EDIT* I should also say that by "legacy", I very much include my perception of him as a person too, not just how he left the club compared to what it was like when he arrived.

Poyet could still be manager today if he had concentrated on coaching. His achievements up until that final phase were that amazing. He has nobody else to blame but himself.I've been called worse than SPANNER, don't you worry

A very fun character, but limited tactician, in my opinion.
Would love to see him back managing in England, but I can’t imagine any PL club considering him.

The similarities with RDZ are striking aren’t they?
Found huge improvements in players who had been here a while and been decent but not exceptional.
Turned a 0-0, 0-1 or 1-0 every week team into a side playing scintillating football, scoring goals and getting results few predicted possible.
Has a football philosophy you can discern in the first 30 seconds of seeing his team play.
Skipped the “bland corporate manager speak” lesson in the UEFA B. Has the quality that if he starts speaking on the radio, you stop what you are doing and listen to every word.
Properly wears his heart on his sleeve on the touchline, argues with refs, engages with fans and displays a series of quirky latin antics.
Quickly located and shifted out players who couldn’t or wouldn’t adapt. Very loyal to those players who buy into his method.
Maybe it will all end the same? But maybe not.

Massively flawed character, brilliant tactician, in mine!
Number 2 I could understand, but couldn't you all just wee in the garden?

This (or these, as CH might say).
GP changed the whole attitude of the club at just the right time. Without bleating on too much about my own interview with him, one of the most interesting things he said was that at various times during his spell with us he thought that he had too much power (although his thinly-veiled barbs at, well, Barbs showed that he didn't really like it when said power was taken away). So, he might have unwittingly had a role in creating the fairly rock-solid structure that we have today that can withstand crucial figures leaving without too many issues.

Gus and RDZ will never do bland.
You can't have outstanding charisma without breaking a few eggs along the way - and making a damn fine omelette in the process.
