Gus Poyet taken to hospital

[Sweeney Todd]

I hope that he is well – that goes without saying – but, going for a night out in Newcastle as Sunderland manager, he was asking for trouble.

 

[The Large One]

Seems a bit odd that no-one else is picking this story up...

Not the Sunderland Echo, not the Sunderland messageboards, not Sunderland AFC's website - no-one.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Brave or stupid to dine in Newcastle?

 

[The Truth]

Headaches and seizures? Sounds like he'll need an MRI scan. Could be Epilepsy or even a brain tumour. Not a massive Poyet fan myself but i hope all the best for him.

Hilarious.

But actually really not. He may be seriously ill, I really don't think jokes like this are appropriate.

Oh well - shit happens!

At least it is him and not someone to care about.

 

[The Wookiee]

Mmmm I bet if we do beat Hull, Poyet will not be at The Amex due to "health reasons"

 

[Triggaaar]

That Sun link doesn't seem to point to a Gus story (any more), and can't see anything on Google.

Hopefully it is just stress, looks like it is on reading the story.

 

[Official Old Man]

Getting excuses in early.

 

[Triggaaar]

With this being last week's news, and not having heard anything since, I'm assuming he's ok. Confirmation would be nice, then NSC can carry on taking the piss.

 

[Saltydog]

Banged his head on the ceiling was what I heard

Just spat my coffee on my laptop and guffawed aloud when I read this! Nice call!

There are some very immature attitudes on this thread. This is a man, like you and me. He did nothing but good for our football club. I wish him well.

So, Tanno could be in charge temporarily for the next round.

 

[B.W.]

Hope he is alright. Wish him all the best as despite his arrogance, he is a club legend. We knew when appointing him what we bought into and he gave us some incredible football in return. Will never forget the way we utterly destroyed League One.

Did we know his 'baggage' when he arrived? I think not.

Nothing but good, until near the end of his tenure with the Albion. But I wish him well too.

Once saw a disabled boy collapse and have a seizure in a local shop, a very scary episode, sounds much the same as whatever happened to Poyet. Hopefully there's nothing seriously wrong.. seizures don't normally happen due to stress though as far as I'm aware, though they CAN.

 

[itszamora]

I'm disgusted by some of the comments on this thread.

 

[Husty]

Maybe he hit his head on the... oh. Beaten to it.

Apparently this was last week, so he's already been in charge when they beat Southampton.
