"Poyet... will be lucky to get the opportunity to take charge of a Championship club"

While reading the Mail on Sunday article, I came across their previous article on Poyet; a piece only 26 months ago describing how Poyet 'will be lucky to get the opportunity to take charge of a Championship club.'

Whoever wrote that I imagine is about 3 or so months away from having egg crisply fried on his face.

Wow. What a fucktard the guy who wrote that is. It would boggle the mind if it wasn't for The Daily Mail, home of wanton unchecked speculation and character assassination specialists par 'feculance'.

I suppose at least the guys name is 'Hatchet Man', and that's obviously what he does... but seriously, what a prick.

Not sure anyone would have predicted how good Poyet would be as a manager but that article does have quite a childish, bitter and somewhat jealous slant to it

What is a comic doing reading such a miserable rag like the Mail in the first place?

I guess if we were to highlight this to the author now, his response would be Poyet has done wonders... in league one. Come back when he has proven a success in the championship.

I for one, look forward to it.

So...it's a 'great article' when the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday features a nice piece about Gus/The Albion (see other thread), and it's a shitrag with all the other usual cliched bollocks when there is anything bad written about aforementioned Uruguayan God/God's own team. That is pathetic.

It's some combination of thin-skinned chippiness, rose-tinted glasses and hypocrisy. And what's with the 'only 26 months ago'? That's a lifetime in football management, all sorts of things can go right or wrong in that time.

What about the reality that, err, you are as likely to find a good football piece in the Mail as any other paper. Does anyone actually remember the coverage of the Man City cup win? The Mail shat on everyone else for two days, not least because the guy that wrote it all (Neil Ashton, now at the NoWorld) is a Palace fan and got more than others why it was so newsworthy.

Is the Mail trying to blame us for the horses killed at Newbury?

"BHA to remain silent on tragic Newbury deaths as electricity cable is removed"

Was it the same guy who wrote a 'Ferguson must GO!' article in January 1990?

Pretty much in agreement with the above, except this guy has made himself look a bit of a pratt, all be it 26 months later. Maybe he was the guy that turned the Beatles down for a recording contract in the 60's. And as someone else pointed out it did almost look personal. But yeah, plenty of rose tinted glasses flying about the thread.

That looks like spin for 'over two years ago'. That's an awful long time in football management terms.

He's been with us for about 16 months, which turns that "26 months ago" to "a mere 10 months before he joined us".

While the article is really just drivel wasn't aware of this
'Poyet bottled the chance to take charge of the volatile situation at Newcastle before the pace of Spurs' early season slide quickened and needs to face up to the fact that he is not the real deal.'

did he really 'bottle' it don't ever remember him being linked to it
