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

I would be delighted.

Interesting that this thread suggests that the Poyet out brigade were just a vocal minority.

Quite a large minority of course, but a minority nevertheless. I think @Acker79 's post on an earlier page sums up the viewpoints held by most of them.

I wonder how many took a stance through dissappointment immediately after the game and are unable or unwilling to move their position. I still see nothing wrong with the post-match interview personally.

After a "cooling off" period for all sides sounds a compromise. However in life and in business once a certain line has been crossed things can never be the same again. Hopefully another good season next year with both sides achieving their objectives : Brighton promotion and Gus finally becoming a premiership manager! However going forward there will unfortunately be 2 sets of objectives - shame but at least we know where we are and so does TB so going forward he would always have the upper hand!

I dunno. As I said way back on page one I was definitely 'Poyet Out'. I didn't like his attitude in defeat and whilst we don't know what happened to cause him to be suspended it is a cast iron fact (and not just ill-formed speculation) to state that SOMETHING must have gone on behind the scenes for the club to have taken that very serious step with all three of the management team.

If the poll had been held then (there probably was one removed in The Great Purge To Stop Everyone From Being Sued) I'd have been firmly in the 'Poyet Out' camp due to a combination of my pissed off attitude and the more important fact that the club were obviously less then enamoured with him. Now the dust has settled a bit I've gone from 'out' to 'fence', although frankly I think too much blood has gone under the bridge for there to be a true reconciliation, the best we'll get is a patched-up relationship and I'm not sure that will be ideal for anybody. And it probably won't last. (Now those last two sentences ARE just my speculation!)

Interesting, but I would say, as we don't now what's gone on, it's impossible to say if it can be patched up. If the truth is something other than what a lot of people have assumed, then maybe a resolution could be possible.

Yeah, like I said that WAS just me speculating! I'll just point out that after you quoted my post I added the words 'more important' to the fact that the club were pissed off with him. His post-match rant on its own wouldn't have been nearly enough to make me 'Poyet Out'. His pronouncements often irritate me, but I could live with them.

Yup, there's good and bad with everyone, and as a first-time manager, he was never going to get everything right. I have reservations about the style of play, at times, but if you see how we've progressed, the finish in a difficult table, and having relative stability, I'd say things could be a hell of a lot worse.

Bloom knows whats going on, and I trust him...so either way, whatever comes from this investigation will be good enough for me!

I more or less agree with all of this. For me if the club and coaching team were to 'kiss and make up' it would only be done if they really could make up (can't imagine any of the parties involved half heartedly doing so) and therefore I'd be pleased.

I still don't think it will happen, but if it does, I think it will only be a good thing.

It is a good point but my feeling (speculation!) is that if it was that bad ties would be severed and the bridge blown into the river of blood. The fact that it has gone on for so long may mean that things are salvageable (I speculate this whilst having absolutely no idea what I am talking about).

What I have no doubt about is that he is a very good manager who was making us better and better. They are not that easy to come by.

It's interesting that the "blind faith in Bloom" vote has hovered at around 60% for quite a while now. Also, that a quarter of our support really don't want him back.

If he was to go, I reckon we'd be looking at 3 or 4 years before we have another season as good as this, simply because of the required rebuillding job.

And that more than any other reason is why if it can be patched up it should be .....

I think there are swathes of fans who are more in support of whatever the club wants to do, and when they've votes gus out in previous polls, it's been under the (possibly mistaken?) belief that club wants rid of him. This poll frames it as "if the club want to keep him would you be ok with that?". Plus, as with Brovion, some people have had time to reflect and move on from disappointments, and any comments gus has made that upset them.

 

[BLOCK F]

Still Poyet out for me,for all the reasons I have stated previously.

 

[East Preston Gull]

I don't think Gus wants to be here so it is best if he moves on. I for one will no longer be watching the Albion if he is in charge.....until the season kicks off and the lure of the buxom slut that is Brighton tempts me back!

Patched up or botched up,I wonder?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I voted fence, as the options were presented. Were it a straight Poyet In / Out vote I'd vote Out.

I think the addition of the Trust Tony part to the first option and not the others has skewed the vote somewhat.

What ever happens, needs to happen fairly soon as preseason starts in 3 weeks time.
