I think the Brighton feedback team are going to have a busy day, @UnitedLatest have just tweeted asking its followers to ask for the termination of Gus Poyets contract due to him being a racist, and then the feedback email adress. Oh and they have 67,000 followers.
Gus is not a racist. If they have put it in writing that he is, the club and Gus should sue them for libel. That's f***ing outrageous.
I agree with you, but the exact quote is.... 'Please contact Brighton & Hove Albion to ask for the resignation or termination of manager Gus Poyet, the racist. feedback[MENTION=5978]bhafc[/MENTION].co.uk #MUFC'

Man united can f***ing do one, dalglish backed suarez too does that mean his contract should be terminated?
What a load of shit.
What a load of shit.
...of manager Gus Poyet, the racist.
This bit is ridiculous, if they did that about Kenny there would be a uproar

Dalglish backed Suarez yes, in part because he was his player
He didn't call Evra a cry baby though - thats the crux of the matter, even if it has been blown out of total proportion
Can everyone please tweet: @UnitedLatest

Calling Gus a racist is libel and I really hope he takes action. A disgusting comment.

Termination seems a bit extreme! Have they got a Mafia branch?

Football premier-league: Exclusive - Poyet: 'Luis Suarez is 100% not a racist' | Radio talkSPORT
Lots of comments on twitter are due to this on talksport this morning

In all honesty after his comments in the Guardian and on Talksport he would have little chance of winning a legal battle and if he launched a case and lost, it would mean he would be branded a "racist" forever.
Sad but true I fear. Someone at "The Grauniad" has it in for Gus I fear.
His comments are tantamount to saying the rest of the world perceive racism in a different way to how the English perceive it. Does that make him a racist? A racist only in this country? Or not a racist at all?

So does this all mean we won't need to worry about him being headhunted by another club

I was commenting on his ability to successfully win a libel case in light of all his comments and judged against the burden of proof in the courts in this country based upon our laws and precedents.
Not for this week I expect, although such things tend to be forgotten (I hope for his sake they are)

Gus poyet equals legend. Man United can piss off and do one. Evra gets the hump throws his toys out of the pram all because he was made to look average and then has a whinge up.
A little story below about a very good black friend of mine.
One of my best mates is black and we have Banter with him over it and generally muck about, but once in a game of football he was racially abused by an opponent who said you stupid f***ing W*G, I had no idea what he was going to do but he just walked up to the guy and said Im a f***ing huge W*G and the next time you get the ball you wont want to hold onto it for too long. 15 minutes later the guy picks the ball up in the middle of the park CRACK the hardest but fairest tackle I have ever seen.When the ball went out and the guy was on the deck my mate picked him up shook his hand and said sorry to him for the tackle. The bloke who racially abused him wrote him a letter a couple of days later apologising for the disgusting language he had used and invited him for a drink. He went along and the guy was so apologetic and said it was totally out of character which I have no doubt probably was.
Moral to this really is sometimes things happen if your racially abused its wrong and upsetting but to tun to the authorities over (lets face it words) is not always the best way to face up to things. If Suarez has been racist he deserves to be punished but not like this. Gus is right maybe if Evra had stood up to it like my friend and not been a crybaby then he could have been seen as a bit more of a hero but now looks like the proverbial Crybaby.
Any way GUS we love you and know that you are no Racist.
