Mmmmmm.....its an ......analogy, not a biography.....
I'd say the '18' is superfluous rather than pointless, albeit it could be taken as symbolic of 'the start of his managerial career'

The reason that he still gets talked about on here is that he is very entertaining, both on and off the pitch
And even more so when he's someone else's manager

I was so pissed off with his last few months here and am not a fan of his shenanigans but in this case he does have a point imo. His best players are being sold and no replacements are coming in. It sounds like a very different scenario to what happened here and I find myself sympathising with him

I don't understand a word.. but you can tell he's angry.
It's also being reported on Twitter that the Bordeaux players are refusing to train after Gus's sacking today.

He has remarkable language skills. He can speak Spanish, English, Italian and French fluently.

I met Gus the day he was appointed and I strongly believed he knew he stuff and had the ability to get us promoted to the Premier League. He made some significant changes behind the scenes and Bloom trusted him to help transform the club, then he upset Paul Barber who knew there were other young, enthusiastic and decent managers they could sign as a replacement.
Gus has since discovered that plenty of Chairman wish to run their clubs and although he is a valued part he isn't a vital part.
We may still have made it to the Premier League without ever having Gus but we wouldn't be anywhere near it without Bloom

You count those brilliant games and you won't get past 10.People will member the Charlton game but forget the many dull games!!...The football was dull and negative a lot of the time...Thats more than the positives by a country mile
He had his moments but he was a parasite with no plan b and a stubborn ****.
Never liked him !!

Tarrico presumably will resign and Charlie Oatway might be getting a job again soon.
I think even if Gus bought a club and appointed himself manager, he would still fall out with the owner eventually.

We know you don't support the Albion, but I'll bite. Without trying too hard...
Southampton away
Charlton away
Peterborough away
Leyton Orient at home
The EIGHT wins in a row in one month
Dagenham & Redbridge at home
Walsall away
Doncaster at home
Southampton at home
Blackpool at home
Palace at home
Wolves at home
And those are the ones you can file under 'brilliant days'. Several more under 'really good days'.

I don't see anyone getting "outraged", I just see people commenting on a football message board about our ex-manager's latest antics, and these antics ARE worthy of comment because he keeps repeating the same mistakes across the globe, whichever club he happens to be at.

And I am informed that my take was excessively harsh. I accept that there may well be vast amounts of information about which most of us have little or no insight.

I stood on the terraces at Peterborough for that game, and the chap next to me turned to me and said "are we dreaming?". Remember, we were top and Peterborough second, so it should have been a close game. Not even close. We hit the post twice and missed a penalty, and if we had won 6-0 it would not have been flattering. I remember smiling and having a warm feeling. After all the bad years, Gus did great things for us, and that cannot be erased.
