If the club and Poyet kiss and make up...

Far from it, hence why I have opened the thread and reading it.

Normally I either don't go back to a thread if its not for me, or I don't open it in the first place, obviously there will be exceptions for me at times as being a moderator I may have to, but you don't!

Yeah fair point. But this thread kinda pushed me over the edge in that a) it was yet another with zero information except one of Bozza's knowing winks and b) it's exactly the sort of thread that encourages an environment of libellous comments, the type we mere mortals are told we have to 'think before we post'. Plus it's Monday morning, I had a great weekend and I've got a bit of a hangover so I'm probably a bit ratty.

But I retain my inalienable NSC right to actively express my boredom.

Yes I have. He found time to dangle the carrot ... It's ok, you're towing the NSC admin line, I can see that.

I'd imagine many these sort of threads are created to generate discussion, which increases traffic on the site, which equals revenue for NSC.

 

[glasfryn]

Possibly NSFW.

I never noticed before ...but are some of those people using CLACKERS ................ffs

 

[Bozza]

It's difficult not to when the sites admin, someone who many think is an ITK, leaves a carrot dangling.

I know nothing.

I think it's been interesting how sentiment has swung - first against Poyet, then against the club a bit.

I was, indeed am, interested in what the current feeling was/is.

I'm not towing any line, I have a day off work today as I had to work all weekend, and last night until 9.30pm, due to it being my day off I can post things today, check back on my posts prior to 9.30pm last night, you will find that due to work there are non until late at night!

You people forget we have full time jobs as well, we don't all have access 24/7, yes I might be showing as being signed in most of the time but that is due to tapatalk on my mobile.

I can promise you that behind the scenes on NSC there has been no discussion about this, or even this subject. and I can confirm 100% that Bozza has not directed us in any way about this thread or its contents.

EDIT: I was typing this post as the one above appeared!!

 

[Mellotron]

Oh well, believe what you want I guess.

I asked you politely not to push this, yet you still try to provoke a discussion, which the club have asked us not to do.

Best I put you on ignore so as not to be dragged in any further.

I'm not trying to do that at all. I'm saying take it AWAY from here by PMing me. The fact you aren't willing to suggests you don't actually know anything.

OK thanks, my mistake then. But you can see it wasn't just me thinking this! And with that, I think the stats are probably a little skewed with them hoping that this horrible period in B&HA history was coming to a close. If Bozza asked tomorrow "How would you feel if [some young up and coming manager] was appointed tomorrow?", I think a lot of the positive Gus voters to sway to the new manager as they just want an end to it.

Don't worry, your minder looked after your interests during your absence.

 

[Canonman]

I trust TB, but also feel that the damage has [probably] been done in terms of Gus vs Club (incl Fans, Players & Management) and that the negative press (however true or false) has been enough to hurt the "project". New broom and all that needed now.

Regardless of what happens I have every faith in the balance being restored and Brighton fulfilling the destiny that TB has set and making it to the prem before too long.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

But Tony Bloom would never make any list known publicly. He could be talking to lots of amazing / exciting candidates, but unless someone happens to spot them entering the little chef / Grand together we're unlikely to ever know.

Oh, I agree, but PP suggested that "exciting" names had been linked with us, but mostly I think they've been rather uninspiring. It would be absolutely typical, though, when something happens, that it is something or someone that nobody had predicted.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

I want Poyet to stay and do something special at the Albion. If he doesn't want to stay in post next 3-5 years we might be better making a change now while we have momentum. Personally I think he should take a leaf out David Moyes' book and quietly get on with the job of taking us to the premiership.

Yeah!! and where is my Capri??

Has sentiment really swung against the club ... and if so, how would we measure this? More pertinently, what would such a feeling be based on? I would estimate less than 0.001% of Brighton supporters really know what's going on behind closed doors. Our info is largely based on NSC/press/Twitter gossip, which may all turn out to be incorrect.

Poyet has and always will wear his heart on his sleeve and has been misquoted so many times ("I have always wanted to manage in the premiership" but then went to qualify preferably with Brighton) he is a passionate man and took us to 4th and will we see any manager do that next season ......other than him IMHO
maybe its me being a little old here but I think the club has gone just a little to corporate in their ways and mores to the point making those feelings obvious
and if Gus does go then I for one will always think "what if" and again mores to the point will the club think the same if we start going in the other direction

 

[Simster]

If he does come back and we start next season badly the knives will be out soon enough.

Very true.

There is a minority who really do want shot of him already, but the rest of us will give him another chance - although of those people, there won't be many who show any patience if it starts to go wrong. He can hardly be surprised if that is the case.

If he keeps hold of the current squad (inc. loanees) bar Vicente - and perhaps even improves it a little more - I highly doubt we'd start next season badly.

Trust in Tony.

The club have let know bozza know poyet is staying hence his poll hinting

Bozza has a habit of starting polls when there is a commonly stated suggestion that the fan base thinks one way, and he asks things in another way to test that belief. In this instance, we have lots of people talking about how the majority of fans want rid of poyet.

By asking about keeping poyet in the context of the club choosing to, it tests the idea that people want poyet to go. That the idea of him staying if it was bloom's decision is only opposed by 26% of respondents suggests the brighton fan base isn't so anti gus as it is being suggested.

It's also just another poll to gauge how opinions are oscillating, that now fans aren't opposed to gus in theory, that circumstances are important.

Everyone wanting Gus out are basing their views on NOTHING factual.

I think some fans are basing on simply not liking his football, and this is an excuse for them to hate on him without being scene as footballing relics. The people who crave 442, who want a plan b which is essentially, get it in the mixer, hit it long and let cms chase it. They only want it as a plan b, though, honestly!

I think there are some who are against him just because they are such delicate flowers, and if gus dares to be completely honest about his career ambitions, it's a sign of disloyalty, and they just can't handle it. That questioning the budget is questioning the club and that is equally as offensive to their delicate ears. They hype his comments beyond reason, a despondent suggestion hat he is uncertain of his future is presented as a rant, the idea that he would be interested in managing last season's champions league winners, top four premier league club stuffed with world class footballers if the opportunity arose even if it meant leaving championship side with a few league one players, somehow is a slur on our great club and is presented as him touting himself for every job if he dares acknowledges he has career goals.

It is getting more and more annoying to see his interviews hyped like this by fans who really need to get some perspective.

Exactly. The volume of a few braying idiots on here does not reflect the 'sentiment of the fans' any more than the sound and result that my arse produces after a traditional 3-course Laxative Day dinner. Plus, as you say, it's all based on conjecture (the very conjecture that our esteemed mods are so desperate for us not to go on about) so is somewhere way beyond useless as an indicator.
