Poyet to Sunderland

[symyjym]

Been saying this for a while. I don't think Zola will go anywhere so the options for Sunderland are limited, which may well give Poyet such limited competition that their hand is forced. Alternatively I think Fulham will be a much better option for him and obv he knows it's all brewing up there ... much might depend on his patience, although he's not shown a great deal of that.

Plus rejecting their offer ups his stock considerably ... them rejecting him probably blows a hole in his side, albeit temporaily

Agree with you on your patience comment, even now he seems to have over marketed himself with the Sunderland job and would clearly bite their right hand off, but then again he is Uruguayan. Harmless Suarez pun intended.

But seriously, it may not have been wise for him to promote his intentions and excitement through the media, a much more reserved approach keeping his cards close to his chest and playing hard to get may have been better way to play this..

According to the paper today the players want an English manager, more like a soft touch so they can carry on picking up obscene wages for minimum effort

Anti-daily mail sentiment isn't limited to their right of centre politics:

Only Gus would rule out potential manager candidates for Sunderland, is he going through the list himself, calling them and telling them he needs it more.

Surely it is not fair to speak for others publicly no matter how good a friend you are to them It would look far better for Di Matteo and Zola to rule themselves out directly to the media.

Politics aside, the last few Mail articles I have read, seem to take the following approach;

1 Google subject you are interested.
2 Detail everything in pages 1-10
3 Summarise in as few words as possible.

I actually find this style difficult to read, as you can get 3-4 unconnected elements lumped together in a single sentence. Is Mail speak some new emerging form of the English language ?

Having read that, some of the comments it evoked and some of the comments there have been on here, I'd really quite like to see GP get the job and get them in to Europe, like, man, like, just to be contrary.

I even seem to have developed a Wearside accent while writing.

Also gives the impression that he knows he is going to be at least 3rd in any pecking order behind RDM and Zola.

He has NO class.

He told the Daily Mirror: 'Since the start of the season I've dedicated myself to watching the games of teams that might call me if things weren't going too well.'

FFS!!! What a bloody mercenary .....

Yep, didn't think of that also. He seems to just act on impulse believing he is being assertive without a thought of the negative connotations.

Mercenary? He wants a managerial job plain and simple.

Watching potential employers is called doing your homework - just as anyone who is looking for a job should do.

As for contacting potential competitors for a position, then fair enough, going public that they have done so shows a level of naivety that really shouldn't be displayed by someone seeking a high level position.

Thank f*** this has finally started sliding down the big board in to obscurity.

WHAT?

Enantiomeric.

Can you not use long words like that please, I don't use the site to be educated

He came across TERRIBLY. But he does. Dignity is important to him but he is self centred. The best managers are. He had a job for life here had he wanted it, but he wanted to get to the top easily.

 

[Monkey Man]

Gus is Coriolanus: a vainglorious hero who outgrows his authority and has no respect for the lesser mortals who made it all possible. If the story continues the way Shakespeare wrote it, he WILL be manager of Palace before long. Only to be sacked in a very sudden and unpleasant way.
