- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Seriously, we are not allowed to expand on this.
He said he would like to manage Chelsea someday. I have no issue whatsoever with that statement. **** me, how insecure and possessive are some of you when you get girlfriends?!
How's this one for a start:
The Brighton manager said: “I want to go to the highest level. That’s my aim as everybody knows.
“If that is the Premier League and Chelsea, fantastic. If it is somebody else, we’ll see.”

Well it all depends who the replacement would be if Gus left.....would take Gus over Redknapp any day but Bergkamp......
PM me if you have something factual?
It's speculating on a possible outcome to the current situation. As was guessing the next manager and when it would be announced. Given the ridiculous stance of NSC recently around speculation Bozza hasn't helped himself.
What if I asked the "simple question" of who do you think will be the next manager and when will it be announced - would that now be allowed ?

That quote is on the 1st March 2013, asked whether he would like to be next in charge after Rafa Benitez at Chelsea.
You can defend him all you like but he thinks he's better than us. He's still my favourite Albion manager but he's burnt his bridges and its time to move on.

I've been pro-Poyet for a long time. I genuinely believe there's a degree to which in the past, he has been misinterpreted in terms of 'touting himself around' - he's just too honest for his own good, and when he's asked a question he answers it. The media go straight to him on anything Chelsea and lo and behold he's accused of pimping himself about. Similarly on budgets, I see his bluster about our budget being the 15th in the division etc being more to do with playing down fan expectations, and pre-emptively slapping down agents looking for big bucks, rather than necessarily a direct challenge to Bloom to plough more cash in.
But all that said, this saga has burnt a lot of bridges. Having seen his passion and pride on St Patricks Day, it looked like he'd finally 'got' the Brighton-Palace rivalry. So to turn around and say what he said after the playoffs, when emotions were raw, understandably made a lot of people very angry, and for the first time I started to waiver. I still think he's a good manager - he's still learning his trade and he does make mistakes, but had this whole saga not blown up I would still have been very much on the Gus Bus for next season. My worry is if he comes back, whether his heart is still in it, and whether his pride will be able to deal with the probably quite mixed reaction of the fans. I doubt it. I think it's probably best he moves on, but if so, I'll remember his 3 years of great football and, by and large, success - rather than the unsavoury way it came to an end.

Silly old bat
I don't have a problem with that at all. In fact, I prefer that to the two faced statements of some managers like Howe & Freedman declaring loyalty one day & gone the next. At least you know where you stand with Gus.
Have none of you talked to colleagues about applying for other jobs, or are you all still in the same job since leaving education?

Nope. Due to FFP there won't be a "decent budget" for Gus. If it did happen, it would mean that Bloom had called Gus in to his office and told him "this is your budget for the season. You won't be getting any more, my hands are tied. Now put up AND shut up."
I am guessing (not stating that this is factual) that the whole reason behind this situation is that Gus has already been told that his budget is gonna be slashed and he's not happy with it.

Really? Yes, you're right. We had a terrible season.
I'd love him to stay, however there is just no way I can see that happening.
Voted fence. The club know what has gone on and if they think it can work. Iike others on here I would worry about poyets commitment and how the fans will react to a poor spell. I just think we maybe just papering over the cracks. If poyet had been offered stoke or fulham would we have been having this discussion, I doubt it.
