"If Poyet gets the job, I can confidently predict the first batch of questions will centre around who it was who pooed on the floor of the dressing room before Brighton’s play-off semi-final against Crystal Palace." :ffsparr:

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.

Whatever anyone thinks of Gus, we can all agree he has a strong ego. Most chairmen of Premier League clubs have big egos too. I don't think many of them will set up a clash of egos unless they are 100% convinced they're getting a quality manager who will make their life easier. If Gus didn't...

I genuinely think that if Gus hadn't had the elongated tantrum and public issues with the board at the end of last season, he'd probably walk into a job like the Sunderland one. They wouldn't delay the decision. Forget about the behind-the-scenes stuff that none of us really know about. Just...

I imagine Sunderland will look for an experienced, "boring" manager, at least for the time being, to get the side back on a stable footing. Appointing Gus wouldn't appear to be a great move for either him or Sunderland - as we all said, Gus was a manager learning his trade when he was with us...
