Gus Poyet appreciation Thread

[T soprano]

Negative and unappreciative twats should be ashamed of themselves.IMHO

Why you slagging off gus & tano like that

I won't say that Gus is great, but Mr Burns, to say "he might come good" is just ridiculous... he has taken us from the bottom of League One to a team that is hard to beat in the Championship and don't concede many goals (In fact less than anyone else in the whole football league). The team we are modelling ourselves on are Swansea, and that is EXACTLY what they did when they got promoted to the Championship from Lge 1...

2007/08 - Won League 1
2008/09 - 8th Championship
2009/10 - 7th Championship
2010/11 - 3rd Championship (Won Playoffs)
2011/12 - 11th Premier League

In that time, they had 3 managers all of whom left of their own wishes - Martinez (Wigan), Souza (Leicester) and Rodgers (Liverpool) - do you think their fans started to question if any of those managers were doing a good job? Were they getting impatient because they only got top half of the Championship after being promoted the previous year as Champions? (And then the following year they didnt get in the playoffs either?)

Oh and they spent the same sort of money as Poyet too...

Thanks for the way we play and every player ... even Harley.

Well said mate. But complete tits on here won't be able to see that or apply any sort of logic to their crap posts

The players just need to gell better and believe in the Football Gus wants them to play, then they'll understand it and deliver. We've done it on and off, we've got better players now, it's only a matter of time, but they'll do it on purpose and it'll stick and we'll be gravy!
Thanks to Gus!

We are establishing ourselves as a Championship Club, something we have not been able to do for 20 years previously, these things take time... yes Saints/Norwich catapulted up 2 divisions at once, but this doesnt happen very often, and neither are looking particularly good at the moment.

Whereas teams who have spent longer in the Champ and then gone up, are now regarded as mainstays of the Premier League - such as West Brom and Stoke.

The reaction to Vicente hitting the bar

As brilliant as that reaction is, it CAN'T be for the run and shot against Derby. Wrong end for Gus to be facing.

didn't he hit the bar against Reading too? Close range.

Exactly this.

I love Gus.

We wouldn't have won league one without slade and knight.

Murray and Bennett

True dat. Anyone who was there could spot that a mile off! I remember it well, I was in the 2nd row of WSL, and watching the man himself flash past leaving several Derby players in knots and unleash that beast of a shot will burn forever in my memory.

all the sensible fans are still on the Gus bus

This.

In Gus I trust, corny but so true. IMHO, bar Mullery not only the most entertaining and quoteable mamnager we've had but also the one who'll go on to greatest thuings methinks. And let's not forget appreciating The Lizard for getting hom on board, I still think trhat was the best deal any Albion chairman has ever done.

Indeed, he is building something special, and if it takes 2 or 3 seasons to achieve Prem status is that such a bad thing ? My biggest fear is that he leaves before the job is done, cos there is no one else out there at the moment that I would want.

If Gus went,I feel sure that Tony Bloom and the board would have little difficulty in attracting a high calibre successor, as the club must now be regarded as an up and coming outfit with plenty of ambition and the infrastructure, more or less in place, to make it all happen.

He hit the bar against Reading too I believe.
