Oscar Garcia has replaced Gus on the Legends Wall

[JCL - the new kid in town]

To all of you whinging about Oscar being there in place of Gus: have you considered that space may be there purely for the current head coach/manager? Remember, we've only had the two since moving into the AMEX and Oscar may very well be replaced if/when he moves on.

Or, y'know, you could continue over-reacting. Either way is fine.

I'm sure this arguement has been done on other threads with the conclusion being that yes it is the position for the current manager or maybe i'm imagining things.

Another issue is while legal action is ongoing, it would be insane for Poyet to be on the "legends wall"

Poyet Lawyer, questioning : "So my client acted with such misconduct that he still appears outside your stadium on the 'legends wall'. Can't have done much wrong..."

Club: But despite the "gross misconduct", charge we still respect and acknowledge the work Mr Poyet undertook whilst at the club.....

Swings and roundabouts and not relevant to the dismissal case IMO.

strange they didn't change it until after the Newport game then...

 

[kevtherev]

They were just outplayed. Shock, horror - that can happen

Of course it can happen....Just happened to happen that night, when we all now know that he was going, regardless of the outcome.

 

[veade]

Totally wrong that is a insult to real legends of our great club

 

[BBassic]

strange they didn't change it until after the Newport game then...

Or, to look at it another way, didn't change it until just before the first league home game...

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Well they didn't look very motivated to me, for a one off 90 min all or nothing game.

I'd imagine nerves, occasion, etc, played a big part

Everyone was building them up as favourites, and talking like we were already promoted. Palace had nothing to lose.

Also we hadn't really had a game with much riding on it for a long time, Palace had several games which were potentially decisive in whether they were getting into the play-offs or not so they were better prepared mentally from that respect. We cruised into the play-offs without really having to try, suddenly you have a pressure game like the 2nd leg and it can prevent players from playing well.

When did Gus say he was going to take us to court over his dismissal? - Was it at sometime between the Newport game and the Derby match? could explain why it was removed

 

[Guy Fawkes]

...Bert Murray ( the only player that the fans helped to buy )..QUOTE]

Colin Kasim-Richards (coca cola kid)? one fan "bought" him

So JCL - the new kid in town is still technically correct, Fans (plural) brought Bert Murray where as 1 fan (singular) brought CKR

Wasn't Rod Thomas brought with fans money?

I know the guy that prints these and the years 2009-2013 were added to Poyet's banner 26th July. On the 9th August, Poyet's banner was removed altogether and replaced by Oscar.

All that can be true, as could a million other reasons. Fact is due to everything we now know to have gone on, there will always be a big cloud over that game. Team selection, tactics, motivation, body language, post match interviews, poogate, Vicente....There are many more questions than answers about that night...There are many people in this world that if they knew they were a gonna whatever the outcome, would love to stick it to there employers at there biggest moment of need.

And the whole team was in on it, eh? Let's lose the chance of Wembley just for Gus.

Oscar Garcia isn't a Brighton legend.

Gus Poyet isn't either.

Should have that space blank...

Don't ever underestimate the role of a manager in motivating a team, for a game. It the difference between the good and the great and the crap.

 

[stripeyshark]

Poyet and Mullery should both still be there.

Oscar (not yet) and Leon should not.

Poyet should never have been there. Mullery should have always been there. Agree with Leon!

Sorry to be a pedant but aren't all players partly bought by fans money?

 

[ewe2]

It's the current manager that goes at the end of the wall, so of course he's there.


Lets hope he is there at the end of the season ......

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Gus Poyet is the single most important person involved with the football side of the club for that last 25 years. The job he did here was sublime, there isn't a single other person who has done as much from a footballing perspective.

Oscar shouldn't be there. He doesn't deserve to be.

 

[Smith DID score]

So a man who has presided over three calamitous defeats is more worthy of recognition than a man who moved us 41 places up the Football League in three years. How utterly ridiculous.

No point putting any manager up until they've been gone for at least a decade, or if at all.
