Come back to England Gus, start to rebuild your career. You still have an awful lot to offer the game, and l'm sure a club in the EFL will take you on.

I wonder how Gus Poyet is feeling today ?

I think it's a slight re-write of history here. We certainly hit a financial point at the end of that season with Poyet where the outgoings were needing to be more than the incomings (new signings)
13/14 - We lost Bridcutt (star player arguably), and signed no one for money in that summer
Summer 14/15 We signed Chris O Grady, Baldock but lost Ulloa, Buckley
It was only really summer 15/16 where we pushed on with signings.
Anyway, this isn't a "leave Gus alone" post. Just saying that his reasons for wanting to leave weren't exactly unfounded.
Still, we've moved on to bigger and better things and I will always be thankful for what he did, even though it ended sadly.

Probably a mixture of pride and a little regret. Pride at beginning the process for us, regret at how things ended.

We lost Bridcutt and Buckley because Gus poached them for Sunderland!

Which in hindsight was the worst possible move for the two of them. I was thinking just that when I saw 'Buckers' take to the field as a Bolton substitute at the weekend.

Bit of a cock but anyone who witnessed the last season at Withdean and was at Southampton for his first game will let him off that.

First job as a manager though, eh? Different thing entirely.

Indeed, but I think Bridcutt was always going to leave.

Easy 3 of them will be injured or not match fit, 2 won't make the matchday squad, or the remaining 3, 1 will start in a 4-3-2-1 formation with a free role to play on either flank, the other 2 will be on the bench.
Both fullbacks will have orders not to cross the halfway line, to ensure we don't get caught on the break, all 3 midfielders will be defensive minded, with the front 3 having orders to press the ball.
Matty Ryan will take as long as possible on all goal/free kicks and retain the ball in open play for as long as possible. We will beat our top flight record of 50 back passes to the keeper in 1 half.
City will fall asleep as we score in the 92nd minute to win 1-0.
Due to the boredom, the early brigade left in the 60th minute. For the faithful CH is acclaimed as a tactical genius.
City are all grumpy after the game, and say they can't win the title now.
We can at least all dream until Saturday afternoon.

I agree that it's probably best put to bed now, but l just get annoyed with all the old anti Gus posters on here, when to my mind he was like a breath of fresh air to the club at the time he was here. Besides, it's so easy to knock him now we are at the pinnacle of English football, while he is wasting his time away on the other side of the world.

But we still got as far the season after Gus as we did in his last season.

Gus gave us our identity, he also played a style of football that had never been seen before in the third tier of English football, he got us into the Championship for the first season in our new stadium, he gave us Vicente. I prefer to remember all of that rather than the way it ended.

Never seen that, he actually seems like a decent bloke.
I guess if you hadn't done your research properly you might've thought Norwich had a better chance of promotion at the beginning of last season, that's why he did what he did.

Plus it only took 10 sideways passes to reach the halfway line under Oscar García as opposed to the 20 it took under Poyet.
