Poyet sacked again

[NooBHA]

I thought that the then chairman of Charlton lived in the house next door to Gus but wouldnt argue. I think that QPR was the ideal job for him in all respects and appointing wurzel again is their loss and a mistake/ I believe he would have consolidated this season and reformed them as he did us and they would be promotion contenders next season.

He would never have fitted at QPR - Their Chairman would have hated someone like Gus

 

[sir albion]

Very overrated manager and this is how I saw his career panning out....horrible bloke

 

[Ninja Elephant]

He was a top manager and a top bloke at the Albion. He often did community work above and beyond the call, and in my opinion, he set the standard which players like Calde then took up a level. He was brilliant for us, totally transformed the whole club and left us established as a top Championship club. He had his moments, of course. And he left under a cloud.

But he was an excellent Brighton manager and that's all that matters to me. Poyet IN.

Have to disagree. Whilst I loved the guy while he was here looking back afterwards he really should have walked this league with the team he had when we only finished 4th.
With the likes of Bridge, Upson, Vicente, Ulloa, Bridcutt, Barnes, Bruno etc at his disposal when the division was nowhere near as tough as it is now there is no excuse for not walking it especially when an average Cardiff and dull Hulll team that year went up.
And then the disgraceful way he finished his tenure he really let us and himself down.
CH is 10 times the manager (and man) than Gus will ever be

Was just thinking the same. If CH had those players we would never have drawn so many games, which was, in effect, why we finished outside the top two.

Why do you say that a personality clash or both want to be the top man? My view was based on their disregard for FFP so he could have brought in who he wanted at whatever price provided they made the funds available.

It was because of him that those calibre players were with us, he sold the club to them.

Well he certainly sold himself to at least two players behind the backs of the club and told them he would take them to his next club (alledgedly )

 

[British Bulldog]

I'll always be very thankful for winning the league 1 title for us but I'm not convinced he'll ever be a good manager.

 

[Bwian]

He still didn't get us promoted though did he? He may well have been the reason they joined us in the first place but HE couldn't take it to the next level with a squad that should have pissed that division. If not automatically then at least through the playoffs.

They are not spending what they used to spend but I actually said it because their Chairman although a very successful guy is quite a gentile bloke and Poyet comes across as too brash for him. Ollie is quite brash but he has a major love for QPR which will sit nicely with the Chairman

Fully understand

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

He had us playing nice 'tippy tappy' football which generally went down well. Certainly he was a bit on the defensive side and the entertainment in the Championship was behind what we are seeing now.

He was good for Brighton for a long while but it is unfortunate that the divorce became acrimonious.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Some of it is the simple fact that it all works for a manager at a certain club at a certain moment and doesn't in other circumstances. Micky Adams would appear to be the perfect example here, Claudio Ranieri elsewhere.

Some say we should have been promoted with the team Gus had assembled. People care to forget that we had three excellent chances to take the lead in the playoff semi-finals against Palace but Hammond headed straight at the keeper from two yards out, Barnes' shot hit Speroni's elbow and the bar instead of the net and then Barnes' header went in the one place their left back was standing. If any of those had gone in there might have been no conspiracy theories about Gus deliberately losing to them up the road and it might be us and not Selhurst Barcelona challenging for a Champions League place.

Wait, what? A point above the bottom three? Surely not ...

Just a shame his coaching and man-management ability didn't live up to his sales pitch then. A manager the calibre of Hughton would have walked the league that year with those players. Gus has been found out.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Very true, and personally I am the founder member and President of 'Team Love'.

The man, (plus Tano and Charlie or course), could still do a very good job in the Championship in my opinion.

Note for that lot up in Shephers Bush, you could do an awful lot worse.

Are those players better than we have now I am not sure they are

Gus Poyet and Chris Hughton are very different managers, who advocate playing football in totally opposing ways. For that reason alone I think Chris would have found it difficult to achieve promotion with a team geared to playing football to a Gus system.

Similarly the players that Chris has at the club now would find it difficult to adapt to Gus's way of playing the game.
