Poyet According To Naylor

[brightonmad999]

I hope it is and i hope he brings in his own number 2 and not stick with oatway and hinshlewood and brown like we did when slade came come in and stuck with bob and dean .

I'd LOVE it. I might actually go to a game now.

Without a doubt he is a very good coach. Can he make the step up to management? Management is a lot easier when things are going ok and everyones a happy bunny, but your management skills are looked at when things are not going so well, certainly if there are disruptive influences etc.

Can he be the bad cop? I think our lot need a rod of Iron and coaching to sort them out.

So, in that sense I think its a bit of a gamble. I hope I'm completely wrong though.

Fair point, I reckon his coaching staff will be important. I reckon he he can sort our lot out they cant fail to respect the guy.

He is ready to step up - has completed his coaching badges, worked at Leeds, Newcastle and Tottenham, completing a pro license course, is hungry to succeed. Like most players who have come to England from abroad he is clearly more intelligent than the average footballer and has worked with and under true greats of international quality.
If he can get a good coaching team together I really think he could be the man to change this club into a more professional modern footballing outfit, it may take time and it is vital we do not demand instant success. It is clear the culture of the club needs to change and Gustavo Augusto Poyet is the man to do it.

Huge gamble if true. Only been a number 2 before. Was a great player, but this doesn't ensure him being a great manager. He is apparently a great coach; again this does not mean an automatically good manager.

Would this be the long term marching in to Falmer type manager we need? As a big name, if he does well then surely he has massive jumping ship to a bigger club potential?

If he is the next boss I hope he delivers the goods. It strikes me that the balance is firmly in his faviour. Fail - go back to being a well paid no.2, suceed and off to a comfy mid table Premier League job. That said, we all need to get behind him and encourage the lads up the table.

Would be quite useful if he could teach our defenders positional sense and the ability to tackle.

to be fair too crodonilson i dont think thats a negative statement just the facts , poyet has not been a manager in his own right and therefore not tried and tested, and as he says it is a gamble but if true i hope for his and our sake the gamble pays off big time.

 

[Acker79]

Can we ban any posting of Argus Managerial tips, because it's getting ridiculous. Last week it was Coppell, then Adkins, this morning Tilson, now it's Poyet. We'll probably have someone else listed by this evening. Someone who impressed in their interview today.

Gus is one evil bastard! He'll kick the boys into gear.

I think they are fair points. I would think that because of his playing background that the players will respect and maybe some will be a little in awe of him - no bad thing. I'm also sure he has a steely side to his character and can play bad cop when it's required. He's an intelligent man so should be able to adapt to the situation and work out what style to use with different players and in different situations.

Forgive me for repeating the question, but I've not had a proper answer from anyone yet. Why do people think Gus is the right man - he was no.2 to Wise at Leeds, some say he was the football brains behind that venture, but I don't know if that is speculation. So, given there is nothing much to go on, what are people basing their enthusiasm on ?

Not saying he isn't the man, I just don't know why people want him - though he is a nice bloke to be sure.

Where do you start?

- He's a fully qualified coach
- Played at the HIGHEST level (World Cup, Premiership, Champs league)
- He's got good contacts within the footballing world because of the last point meaning that he'd be more likely to sell the club to big name players rather than a manager who hasn't played that level of football
- He's coached at Premiership level
- and as you've already mentioned, it was Poyet who was widely regarded as the brains behind the Wise/Poyet partnership at Leeds.

If this story is true then hopefully, he'll be the right man for the job!

 

[Smythe]

Defo!

Were gonna sign him as well what a great day!!!!!

Wonder who Big Gus will have as his No 2

 

[folkestonesgull]

I read an article where he (poyet) was saying Ramos linked the Spurs back 4 together on a long rope in training so that they were aware of each others positions and worked as a unit. I doubt our back 4 even know each others names at the moment.

In terms of discipline would you mess with him? He is a big guy who used to impose himself well on the pitch. I would hope he could do the same off it when needed.

The Tilson knockback theory is not out of the realms. If its been established today that Tilson isn't interested, and if Bloom was impressed by Gus yesterday, then it would follow that he believes he's found his man and will be preparing a press conference.

Poyets been in this country a number of years, he's worked the lower leagues before as a number 2, he's got his badges, he's a "name" in the game and a high profile appointment that'll raise a few eyebrows. Yup, put me in the "cautiously happy" camp. Lets suck it and see eh.

I had vowed NEVER to go back to Withdean EVER.....but if GUS does come here then I could be swayed!

Absolutely, I hope he is - I'm just not convinced (but highly optimistic) that he has any more than others that have been slated on here when connected to the post. But, I'll step back and just hope everyone is right.

Onwards and upwards.
