Did u ever watch brighton under mike bailey?
Gus can knock all these rumours on the head and make his position absolutely clear by making a public statement to the effect that he would not be prepared to leave Brighton unless he was offered a job by one of the top 6 teams in the Premiership. It would be very easy to make such a statement but I doubt he'll do so. As to whether he is with us next season, I suspect a lot will ride on whether he gets a better offer and how discussions with the Chairman pan out over next season's transfer budget. I'd like Gus to stay but if he is going to leave I'd rather he left quickly. The current uncertainty is unsettling as well as unnerving although Gus is probably revelling in all the attention - and as a young, relatively sucessful manager, why not?

I like Gus and sincerely hope he stays, but if he decides his future is somewhere else then I'm not too worried, for the first time in our history we are an attractive club to manage, we will not be short of big name candidates.
Tony Bloom will appoint a decent replacement.

I am not too sure why those clubs would be necessarily looking for Poyet to be their manager.
Several other managers and their teams performed better than us here in the Championship last season, let alone those unemployed managers with vast successes and experience within world football.
Poyet is in a unique position with us, in that he has absolute power, something very few managers have.
I think Poyet is a smooth operator and know's that he must keep his profile high, these stories are encouraged by agents, former players and friends of journos and not the clubs themselves.
It helps his career potential, whilst maybe offering leverage whilst negotiating new budgets for players or himself.

Zeb...personally i wouldn't want my manager to b answering every bit of newspaper tittle tattle ...i don't feel its unsettling at all..if peeps want to take this kinda of talk seriously well thats there problem ...as regards to him revelling in the attention i doubt very much whether he takes much notice of something written in the daily mail

Looks like there will be a series of PL / ex PL clubs jobs which are up for grabs this summer. You have to think that Gus will be mentioned in boardrooms at the very least.
Wolves and West Brom will need a new manager
Villa probably will
I wouldn’t be surprised if Brendan Rogers gets a new gig somewhere (and Gus would surely be in the running for that) and Paul Lambert must be wanted elsewhere for the job he has done.
What will bug the shit out of me, is that there will be countless rumours this summer and Poyet’s numerous previous interviews containing ‘I want to manage in the PL’ feed stories such as the one we are all commenting on. Personally, I’d like to see Bloom say something along the lines of ‘Gus can go if he wants but someone needs to cough 3 mill or they can do one’ It wouldn’t stop all this but it would narrow the speculation.

If you look at the video I posted yesterday, he says pretty much that. It's just that shit papers and nervous supporters choose to ignore it. I know who I would beleave Gus using his own words in a video or some crap reporter re-hashing stuff that has been posted on the web by the worthing herald or what ever that paper is for the last week or so. There is nothing new in that article. If he leaves I will be gutted, but I don't think he will. Not yet anyway.

Wouldn't it be tedious if he had to put out a statement every time some bored two-bit hack needing to justify his expenses cobbled something together to fill an otherwise blank space in their shitrag?
What benefit would it serve, about from relieving some insecure fans of their self-perpetuating anxieties for five minutes - until either another 'story' gets re-cycled, or indeed, the fan(s) in question looks to pore over every nuance in the statement and fret 'yes, but what if...?'
You could spin yourself silly if you did that.

IMHO Houghton will go to WBA,Freedman will leave Palace and go to Wolves. Villa will stick with McLeish for the start of the season and then perhaps make a move for a more experienced manager in November time if they are not doing well. Lee Clark could be tempted by Palace, being out of work, or even possibly Holloway with Clark going to Blackpool. None of the moves will involve Gus as he has a job to do and a route for us of his choice for him to follow. Birmingham will promote within due to lack of cash.

Apparently they said that Gus had a falling out with Tony Bloom over it?

My thoughts exactly.
Exactly, spot on. Gus has said on numerous occassions he wants to stay here for a good few years and develop the club into a Premiership side. If something special comes along then it will make him think twice, but has to special. But as you say, people like to ignore these and instead believe shithouse newpaper talk then he wants "to quit".
Mind boggling the idiocy of some people.
At some point in the future, yes Poyet will leave Brighton and then you can dance around in the joy that you "said it a thousand times"

But at no point during that season were we on top of the division for a couple of weeks and in with a shout at the playoffs until the last few games of the season.
McGhee did well that season but yours is a silly comparison-the two situations are so different.
