Gus is a smart guy, so I'm sure he realises that most of the negativity and whingeing is from a minority of idiots and JCLs whose views aren't worth sh*t.
If GP is serious about a career in football management he'll just have to learn to deal with it. He'll get the same anywhere, anytime there's a dip in results. That's how life is. He won't want to get a reputation as a flouncer.
Not yet. But its a fair bet that is how his reign will end.
Why are people assuming he isn't dealing with it? I've re-read that sentence a few times and just can't see it - I didn't see the Argus today so haven't read it all in context - does he alude to it elsewhere?
You said that was going to happen Christmas 2009!
what a tool you are,"Maybe the fans just want us to kick it long win 1-0. I've got no problem, I'll go home."
From today's Argus.
So there you have it.
It appears that Gus is aware of some of the shit that gets posted on here and is heartily sick of it. Look at that last sentence -
"I've got no problem, I'll go home."
This is a clear sign that he is willing to walk if necessary. Gus is an emotional man, and a slightly over-the-top kneejerk reaction is not out of the question. He will have plenty of offers so would have no worries - employment-wise - about leaving.
So.... we are in danger of driving out one of the best managers this club has ever had.
I would suggest that you morons who keep moaning, and those wind-up merchants who do it for kicks (TCB et al) actually THINK before you post some of the drivel you do. Get the f*** over your own ego and think about the damage you could actually be causing to this f***ing club.
Whats the solution? I don't want NSC to become like a fascist state, but the future of this football club is more important than the feeling of a few worthless c*nts on a messageboard.
I am sick of this, and I am putting a request out to the mods to try and do something about it. Quite what, I'll be honest, I don't know.
Naylor reads NSC.
Naylor ask Gus at press conference 'What about some fans that'd rather see a more industrial approach to games?'
Gus gives above quote.
No need to jump to conclusions or think Gus reads NSC.
OP quotes the Argus?

Journo: Perhaps recent results?
GP: No. I believe we start winning next game
Journo: Perhaps you got a better job offer?
GP: Er no.....
Journo: So what

Journo: As in the message board?

Journo: As in the message board that's looked at by a fraction of the fans, posted on by less of them and liable to Palace fans, wind up merchants and the genuinely unhinged turning up at any point?
GP: *sobs*
Journo: Was it half term?
Exit Poyet in complete silence a la Simpsons awkward moment.......

Exactly the same words he used last season when we had a dodgy result and a few idiots started moaning.
Nothing new here.
Some people on here have no idea how lucky we are at the moment.
I dont believe for one minute he reads any of this crap. Thank god.
