Wolves have asked Brighton permission to speak to Gus Poyet

[One Teddy Maybank]

Interested to know who you think is better than a manager who is ex-Albion and been nothing but a complete success for years in the Premiership? I don`t think he will nor do I want Gus to go but if he did and Curbishley was to replace him, I would be very pleased.Poyet is a good manager who is still learning,he is great for the Albion and the Albion is great for him,but nonetheless,Curbishley is the real deal.There are other potentially good managers that may be available,but Curbishley already has a great pedigree.

He had a great pedigree about 5 years ago. Where has he been recently, why isn't he back in the Premiership if he is THAT good, you think everyone would be falling over themselves. Ex-Albion is not an issue for me or a requirement. If Gus leaves, the next person can be ex-Palace as far as I'm concerned as long as we continue to progress.

It was a joke! (of sorts)

Oops soz

I also don't think Gus will go to Wolves. He's not likely to keep them up with his way of playing and how long that takes to drum into the players.

But I also think that the footballing ethos Gus has started here is bigger than the man himself. If and when he does go, it won't be the end of the world - even though I will be gutted. I'm sure a shortlist for his replacement is already in place.

I have a feeling Wise and Zola are on that list.

It went over my head too.

shame on you!!

Stands to reason though doesn't it ?

Gus has made no secret of his Premier League ambitions, but I think he'd be looking for a little more than 13 games at Molineux to realise them. He'd be a FOOL to ditch what he has here and dive into a relegation dogfight at the arse end of the Prem. I'm sure he's not that desperate.

Absolutely. He would be a fool. And he isn't. Also he is a good man - and will choose the right time to go.

Would be disappointed to see Gus depart (although I wouldn't put money on Wolves being his choice) - but wouldn't mind betting that Tony Bloom has a discrete short list ready just in case. There is no room for sentiment in footie and TB is in this for the long haul. I could see another younger 'name' such as Di Matteo or Zola coming in who would continue the continental flair and hopefully have that 'X' factor to inspire the squad and fans.

If Gus wanted Wolves, knowing Bloom, i wouldnt be suprised if he got Gus to tell him prior to it becoming public, then laid a few million on it with the bookies.... double the compensation

For what its worth - (probably not much) i have been told by a rubbish source that Lee Clarke will be appointed. Was told at 6.00 tonight and had a small bet. Now note that betting has been suspended on Bet365.

 

[Silent Bob]

Why would Gus go to a side whose fans are so deluded they don't even know their shirts are orange?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

shame on you!!

LOL - ?Steve Coppell - we nearly escaped relegation.

a lot of bookies suspend betting in the evening/night

With all due to respect to Poyet, I'd imagine he is he the last thing they need at the mo.

A relegation dog fight at this stage of his career ? Both Poyet and Wolves would be nuts.

To be honest given their predicament there is only one man for the job. Russell Salde.

edit: I was just laughing at all these rumours, not your specific post. It seems every half decent manager in the Championship could be a 'contender' for the WW job......didn't Dooooogie once play for them

 

[Surrey Phil]

Gus now 13/8 favourite on Paddy Power & have slapped a bet on so either way can't lose!!!

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Thats ok we can go for Di Canio!

 

[GT49er]

.......and listening to 5 Live, wolves have denied it; they are going for the Reading manager.
