Would you, if circumstances allowed, Forgive Gus and welcome him back to the Albion?

Never wanted him to leave and would love to have him back. Not sure we could tempt him to be honest, he's progressed further than we have.

Best manager we've ever had IMO,

The answer to this question depends how much self respect you have.

Gus is like an ex-bird who cheated and left you. You always knew deep down that it wouldn't last when she flirted with other blokes when you were out, right in front of you. She'll do it again because you were only ever keeping her warm, she thought she was doing you a favour by going out with you.

It doesn't matter how fit she is or how good her blowjobs were or if she left you for Brad Pitt - a confident man with even the slightest sense of self worth would believe he can do better and tell her to do one if she ever came crawling back.

BHAFC is not Gus' bitch. You don't get to where Tony Bloom is by getting walked over, so I trust it will never happen.

So having private discussions with Reading FC, whilst his own club was in the midst of a play-off campaign and facing its biggest challenge for years was not doing anything wrong. Armed with an offer on the table from Reading, he then went back to the board and used it as leverage to try and get a better deal for himself. He was trying to play one club off against another. Was it any surprise he wasn't focussed at one of the most important times in our history. The man showed his true colours at this time. It was him first and BHA, the club and the fans a distant second.
We were a stepping stone in his managerial career and he was bored with us long before the acrimonious departure. He wanted out and he stage-managed a situation that left the board with no alternative.
In all his time at BHA he got fantastic support fromTB but that wasn't enough and eventually he threw it back in his face. He achieved one promotion and consolidation in the Championship but he chucked away our best chance of promotion in years. It was a good tenure without being outstanding and was tarnished by the last few months. You've probably guessed that I wouldn't have him back. He's ensconced at Sunderland now and probably planning his next step up the managerial ladder.

You're rewriting history Mo. He had permission to talk to Reading, & it was in March. He turned them down straightaway, as Tanno said (it's still on Player) 'no, offence but it was only Reading'.

The old 'couldn't win a game from behind' whinge from drew, is also selective memory, as there weren't many games where we went behind first.

It is irrelevant now as Poyet has moved onwards & upwards. He never made a secret of his ambitions, & I would always prefer honesty, rather than a manager who hides his feelings & then just walks out, like Taylor, or Garcia.

Strange analogy - you may have fallen in love and now feel spurned - I don't.

A far closer analogy is an employee who feels he can progress his career with another firm - sometimes it works for them, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the parting is acrimonious with the original employer feeling slighted because they'd provided the employee with everything needed to be successful.
