I'd be gutted if I was laying on my sunbed in Barbados and some div rang me up! I'd be do one hec, ring me next week when I'm home 
Brighton could then turn to Karl Robinson!!!?!? What a backwards step that would be!!!

OK, they're in the Prem at the moment, but I just don't see Reading as a step up for Gus.............

O hello PP ..uve been a bit slow on this
Good evening to you. I posted earlier, but have been out all evening.
All I will say is that IF Mr Poyet does go to them, it proves he is only interested in money. For players to play his way and no doubt for himself. Why else would he even think of going to Reading? We all understand the Chelsea and Spurs thing, but for him to run off to a club with less chance of being in the Premiership next year than us, is just daft and can only be motivated by money.

Poyet to Reading thread, massively odds on, (maybe) in talks with them [merged]
I've been following this for hours and waited until everyone has stopped shouting at each other and gone to bed to post, GUS WON'T GO TO READING.
He has a chance of getting us promoted
Reading are about to be relegated and have no guarantees they will go back up (parachute payments or not)
Gus and Tony have a great relationship
Gus has said it would take something amazing to prise him away from us (Reading isn't amazing)
We are an up and coming club about to build a state of the art training facility to go with our near 30.000 capacity new stadium.
Reading are in a relegation dogfight and have to (and traditionally clubs in the same position as reading have) chosen somebody with at least some prem league experience or been invoked in a relegation fight.
Bur the biggest reason of all is, THIS IS ONLY AN UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOUR COMING FROM SKY AND JUMPED UPON BY NOTORIOUSLY INACCURATE SOCIAL MEDIA TYPES, WITH NO STATEMENTS COMING FROM EITHER AFFECTED CLUBS.
Everyone, calm the fook down, Gus is going nowhere and will get us in the play offs.,

Maybe he's just after a pay rise.
With a parachute payment of some speculated 60 million I can't see Reading being in the Championship very long.
Not much to be said for loyalty and couldn't happen at a worse time of the season.
He could at least have the decency to see this season through.
I would rather have someone who keeps their mouth shut and gets on with the job, he likes the limelight a bit too much.
To be honest he has been touting himself for some time and as chairman I would have sat him down and discussed his intentions, maybe they have and that is why he has been given permission to talk.
Whatever the outcome, if goes he will be disliked by all the fans, but if he stays there will a lot of fans who will never view him in the same light again and always see the appointment as temporary.
He is doing what he likes best, making headlines in newspapers on TV.
Reading FFS!
Totally disagree, don't get me wrong, I'll be gutted if he leaves, gutted but tbh I don't know how we can consider him disloyal. He has been with us a few years, we have all supported the club our entire lives. It's very different for him surely. This is his career and if he has an opportunity which he feels is better for him and his family, unfortunately whether we agree or not then how can we hold it against him? I've worked for the same company for over ten years now and they are a great company but if another company pursued me and possibly offered me more money, I'd certainly hear them out and consider it.
True, we, the club, Tony Bloom have given him a lot....but let's not forget he has equally given us a lot in return. Championship football, the most attractive football, some great players, several premier league scalps and none of us will be forgetting Sunday in a hurry to name a few.
So I hope he stays, I really, really do but as difficult as it'll be, I will understand if he goes
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.......SB
Ffs who is he? The bloke off idiot abroad?
Ha ha! Well lots not forget it was the great man who claimed last year that the super MK Dons were playing more stylish football than we did when we won League 1!

I think we would be setting our sights on someone better than Robinson, no disrespect to the fella but we would be looking at someone with a proven Championship track record and a promotion or two under his belt. It's all just paper talk anyway, the incorrect gossip and rumour based stories are soon forgotten every day but when one randomly happens the paper claims a scoop and that they broke the story first, it's just lazy journos feeding off the Internet and bookies.

Not sure I would employ someone who was 50/50 about the role.

Nor keep someone that flakey about staying. Hopefully we can bank £2.5million of compensation, and get a more attack minded manager. Happy days!

Can you imagine the likes of Vicente, Spanish Dave, Ulloa, Bridge et all being told Karl is the gaffer? When they finally got off floor laughing, they would be straight on the trombone to their agents
I give upCan you imagine the likes of Vicente, Spanish Dave, Ulloa, Bridge et all being told Karl is the gaffer? When they finally got off floor laughing, they would be straight on the trombone to their agents
Yep, but forget Vicente and co, just imagine what contacts Mr.Rosbinson would have around the world to bring some quality to the pitch......and Ryan Harley could have the team built around him!?

If someone other than Gus gets the Reading job I can 100% guarantee some hack will put out a story stating Gus was not convinced by the budget on offer or couldn't get certain contractual assurances or felt the move to Reading didn't suit his family or didnt feel there were enough games left to keep Reading in the PL etc etc blahdi blahdi blah!

I has livened up a quiet Wednesday afternnon though. I can see how some fans would be upset, but I would be far less upset than when they took Coppell away from us.
If he goes to Reading with loads of money to spend, I think it will enable him to actually play the way he wants (most of our players are not up to it, and we cannot afford those that are). It will also allow us to get a manager with the pragmatism to work within the funds available.

Premier League strugglers Reading are close to appointing Brighton's Gus Poyet as their manager. There is a willingness on both sides to get the deal done and only the finer details of the Uruguayan's contract need to be finalised ahead of an announcement before the end of the week.
Poyet has now met the Reading owner Anton Zingarevich and the Russian has approved the appointment, which has been driven by the director of football Nicky Hammond. There is a compensation payment of just less than £2m payable to Brighton on the termination of Poyet's contract. The move will be a blow to the club who are outside the Championship play-off places only on goal difference.
There has been a longstanding agreement between Poyet and the Brighton chairman, Tony Bloom, that Poyet would be permitted to speak to a Premier League club if interest was shown in him.
While there has been surprise in some quarters that Poyet would leave Brighton, where he won promotion from League One as champions in 2011, the spending limitations placed upon him in recent months, as the team have tried to push for the top six in the Championship, have been a frustration. In particular, Poyet had hoped to sign a new striker in the last transfer window but, as it stands, he is still trying to bring one in before the 28 March emergency loan deadline.
While Brighton have thrived in the Championship, finishing 10th last season, they have punched above their weight when it has come to the wage bill. The current squad has been developed by Poyet with a Spanish contingent, including the former Spain international Vicente. He has also had a major influence in attracting players such as loan signing Wayne Bridge and the midfielder Liam Bridcutt, who is in the current Scotland squad.
While Reading look doomed to relegation from the Premier League this season, the club are prepared to back their new manager with the funds to make an immediate return next season. Under the new television deal, the parachute payments that go to clubs relegated from the Premier League have been increased to £23m for the first year, a huge advantage to sides dropping down.
The expectation is that Poyet will come to an agreement with Reading in the coming days and take over the team in time for the next game against Arsenal away, a week on Saturday.
His first foray into coaching was under Dennis Wise at Swindon, before moving to Leeds with his former Chelsea team-mate. He then worked under Juande Ramos at Tottenham.
Reading are currently seven points from safety with eight games of the season left and still have to play, among others, Liverpool, bottom-placed Queen's Park Rangers and the champions Manchester City, though those fixtures are at home.
