What do we expect. They are 12th and doing well. They will feel like us when he hits the roof and one of the top 6 potentially come calling.
Reminds me of the time we battered Charlton and Posh away in consecutive weeks. Charlton was magnificent but I missed Posh and that was supposed to be better.
I still don't think any fans truly knows the full story post play-off's but the end result was we lost potentially the best manager this clubs ever had. Oscar's done a great job so far but some of the football we played under Poyet was quite breathtaking.
Things move on and we are still in good health but losing Poyet and now Bridcutt is a major blow, and I can't see us getting anywhere near 4th or the points total of last season.

Probably was like that. Plenty of other forums were no doubt like that too when their manager had done well. Poyet has taken Sunderland out the relegation zone and beaten Newcastle twice. I would guess they are happy. You get that from fans when their team is doing well or have beaten their hated rivals. When you screw things up as a manager, they tend not to like you. Thats life.
He's doing a superb job there, same as he did a superb job here. He's a superb manager. Problem is he has a way of winding people up because he doesn't think before he speaks, and he never makes any secret of his ambition. No different to lots of top managers. Personally I have no issues with that I he's successful on the pitch, but a lot of poor sensitive Sussex folk do.

Justifiably so - you can argue about what happenned at the end and how he left the club - difficult to complain about what he achieved with the club though.
It's like reading your ex-missus has now taken a liking to ATM with her new fella - A feeling of what could have been? regret and jealousy.

Pretty much this. He wears his heart on his sleeve and tells it pretty much how it (or how he thinks) it is. I have no problem with that all the time it brings results. Also, he got right under the skin of our rivals which I was totally fine about.
Despite the messy way it all ended, we were in a much healthier position on the pitch when he left than before he arrived.

Listen to me!!!
They are 2 points from relegation. Long way to go yet. Lets see how they feel about Gus if they get relegated this year.

When you change jobs do you think of it like a divorce? Have you ever left a job for more money, better hours or better prospects?

Thats what always impressed me about him. He has a game plan, he sticks to it, he keeps on trying to get better players to fit into the system, and you can see what he's trying to do all the time. Why oh why couldn't he and TB have worked out their differences

Some of us still have the same opinion we always did about Gus
