[Football] Gus Poyet to Swansea City is the word, how good is he?

[Stat Brother]

I do hope, when the time comes, we collectively have enough class to not do a hatchet job (do a Norwich fans) on Mr Hughton.

Great manager, very charismatic, had us playing some great football and started us on the journey we are on now. Whatever happened between him and the club cannot cloud what he achieved for us.

However, his ego his huge and he won't consider Swansea big enough for his massive managerial talent and he'll flirt with every big club that has a vacancy along the way. Unfortunately his actual managerial talent is not as massive as his ego tells him it is so it's always going to fail as he never content to see what he can achieve where he is.

All bang on, IMO.

He’s much better on the coaching and set up, side of football management, than the human player management part. But he’d have them playing brilliant football, before his ego sabotages his own achievements, once again

he got us playing very good football in league 1. championship less so. lots of possession - most of it between the defence and the goalie.

Quality manager.

Yep this. Poyet will bring lovely football followed by an enormous tantrum

This thread suggests we all know that Poyet has strengths. Those classless Norwich fans don’t have a good word to say about CH

You’ll never lose if you go 1 up, and you’ll mostly win in these cases. Don’t ever expect anything more than a point if you go a goal down at any stage of the game though!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

He likes to manage the biggest clubs. Seeing as Swansea is the biggest club in that country, he'll do well..............until...............

 

[Cheshire Cat]

He was excellent for us but it all went a bit tits up at the end when he and the chairman fell out. MASSIVE AMBITION AND EGO.

Won't be boring.

 

[wigman]

I loved his time with us, however his ego got the better of him.
We were the right club at the right time for him but he got too big for his boots.
Since leaving us he has either got sacked or fallen out with the club's owners.
Saying that , he is out of work and might've mellowed slightly.
Good luck.

Vicente Rodriguez said he had never met a worse person in football.

 

[Weststander]

Avoid.

Unless you can stomach ever increasing demands for a higher player budget, played out via monologues to your local newspaper. He’s fallen out with quite a few owners:

 

[Eeyore]

I can't see it happening anyway.

Swansea City are building with an in-house policy of bringing youngsters through. Limited budget. Poyet isn't a good fit.

 

[Justice]

He will take any job at the moment found us plenty of decent player bargains when on a budget.

 

[LowKarate]

He is not as good as he thinks he is.

 

[spence]

Great manager for us. I enjoyed our era with him

The nature if his acrimonious exit from BHA has coloured a lot of views, and led to an awful lot of rewriting of history from some fans here.

IMO he is a BRILLIANT manager, who pulled this club up by its bootstraps at a time when we were a joke. We won L1 with such style and panache, without throwing money at it. Some of my greatest memories in 30-odd years of being a BHA fan was courtesy of Gus. I left the game at Charlton with an erection.

He's a maverick walking rollercoaster who shoots from the lip, but I think he'd be an excellent appointment for Swansea.

All is well when all is well......the first game at the Amex under him was a 2-1 comeback win against Burnley. After that, if we went behind, we never won.

Psychologically flawed. Avoid.
