I found it baffling how many people automatically took Bloom/Barber's side without questioning anything, at the time. If the club's case against Poyet was so unequivocally strong, the reason for his dismissal definitely would've leaked by now.

Many of us had 100% faith in Bloom. Meanwhile, Poyet put his foot in his mouth a few times...

Thought you said you had a problem with his ego?

Being a **** and having an ego are 2 very different things

Ah The memories...I remember their keeper saying that it didn't matter that they were reduced to 10 as we were going to slaughter them anyway. There were periods when Peterborough didn't see the ball for several minutes at a time. How did we end up here?

Yes, I agree. But if Poyet was refusing to deal with the retained list it demonstrates that there was a conflict of interest between the manager and the club over player issues. And OG hinted at the same thing.
Poyet got sacked because he was off to Fulham and he was taking certain players and back room staff with him.hence why back room staff got moved on aswell( they got oatway on something else).
Now I've no idea what lead up to this if it was Barber or he just wanted to go onto higher things but there was rumours over Christmas that year that gus wanted out, coming from inside the club.
I very much doubt Bloom wasn't aware of it untill March as he said. Maybe that was when it became official.

How is that Gross Misconduct?

All irrelevant, he would have been gone in no time regardless of what was going on behind the scenes, in the same way that he's briefly on loan to Sunderland in terms of his career I should imagine.
Talking to another club and telling staff you will take them with you was against the terms of his contract.

That goes on all the time in football, sorry I really can't see that as Gross Misconduct.

North East Stand.
Had Gus shut his big Gob we wouldn't be in the mess we find ourselves now, we missed out on automatic promotion in our second season by 3 points we had a very good team that only needed tweaking for the following season.
Doesn't matter what you can't see that's what they got him on.
shame it did not go to court all of this would of come out

Silly old bat
There wasn't a vacancy at Fulham.
Refusing to do your job is insubordination- refusing to do press conferences (Tanno did quite a few in the last months) handling the retained list (all three got suspended for that although Tanno was cleared).

Which one?
Don't forget it took us 5 weeks to get to a point where we had decided, sorry, fully investigated, what the Gross Misconduct actually was. Also, it involved a 4 or 5 week suspension for Charlie and Tanno. Tanno was conveniently cleared the day before we needed him to take pre-season training, while Charlie lost his testimonial, and AITC duly lost 50% of the proceeds that he'd said he would donate to them.
I'm genuinely intrigued, what reason is your money on?
So Alex Ferguson should've been sacked many, many times over at United then? This shows what a joke the "dossier" was.
There was a vacancy but Fulham changed chairman and kept the manager they had for a little longer. If you check back he was on his way out but decided to give him longer. I can only guess to why they did that.
Oatway was suspended for different reasons to Poyet and tanno, something I can't type as would get thread removed.
