Poyet discussion on 5 Live now

[HastingsSeagull]

Not sure how Messi and Ronaldo will react to the news if Claridge is appointed. Could scupper those deals

Other than that, amazed he stuck up for us but seems to be developing a soft spot for us that's for sure

 

[jimhigham]

Surprisingly good round up. I'd expected a lot of fawning over Gus but he got a bit of a going over. Claridge didn't hold back.

An interesting extra that has not been mentioned above... the point was made that the club is actually trying to apply employment law rigorously, which is something that the League Manager's Association has been requesting for some time.

 

[B.W.]

Claridge nailed it..

Brighton are a bigger club than the teams Poyet is being linked to.
Tony has given Poyet everything he could have wished for and He should have been more respectful in his media dealings

GP Slagging off TB's budget, straight after losing the semi was not a good move.

Wow! Nice one SC. Good work fella.

 

[WhingForPresident]

i think claridge was wrong about our wage budget no one know how big our budget is and the only people know who know is bloom and barber

Okay mate

 

[Pavilionaire]

Claridge = Top guy.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Claridge = Top guy.

slagging off Poyet = Top guy. How the world spins, eh, those Palace fans had it right all along

It's strangely odd how the language coming from all sides is very professional and 'real world'.
You never hear that in any other managerial dismissals.

I wonder how many managers would still have a job if the letter of the law was applied to their dismissals?

I listened to Radio 5 live when I couldn't make matches and we were featured. Claridge was definitely a fan of the Gus way of playing, so I find it interesting that he is backing the club rather than the manager.

I have enjoyed Gus' time at the club and especially his way of playing. I am also on the club's side. There were mutterings in the press about his dissatisfaction with the the budget earlier in the season. When I got home from the final game, deflated about the performance, I watched his post-match interview. If I had been Chairman I would have wanted to sack him on the spot.

Now I am grateful that the club are doing this properly. Our club has a bright future thanks to Mr Bloom's wealth and generosity. But even brighter recognising that the club is bigger than any one employee. Sorry Gus but goodbye.

It's on BBC iPlayer on the radio section, managed to find it last night. I think it started about 10 mins in.

Not in the dwindling numbers of Poyet supporters, based on what he has heard.

It's genuinely depressing, people enjoying someone who should 've become a BHA legend getting battered. Can't understand the mindset at all. It's all just sad, those revelling in it are genuinely a bit wrong in the head.

Claridge is usually pretty complimentary about us, it's only the hyper-sensitive mongs on here that get upset with the tiniest criticism who seem to hate him.

Yesterday I wrote words to the effect of 'I'm glad he's gone'.
6 weeks ago that was inconceivable, it just wouldn't have happened.
I knew all along at some point he'd be off, but I always thought he'd be back to a rousing stadium.

The post match interview was almost enough alone to make me anti Gus, but hey we were all feeling bad, he just chose a poor way to voice it.
Now I'm sure there's plenty of mistakes that have made by both sides in the handling of this but all the theatrics on TV, just iced the cake.


I can't wait to see how much he has learnt from his time here.
If the answer is nothing I will enjoy Leon Knight part deux.

Who is actually enjoying it?

I loved what Poyet brought to this club and am gutted that he seemed to think he deserved more than he was given by Bloom. I didn't like his pig headedness, quite a few of his media interviews and what seemed,to me, a long running agenda to get a better job, when he already had a fantastic one.

I am glad he's gone because there was no way back for him once the board had decided, for whatever reason, that they wanted him out. I certainly don't revel in it but I want us to move on..quickly.

I will remember the fantastic football he brought and the fact that he was perfect as a manager when we moved grounds. He put bums on seats, became a media darling and overall was very very good for this club. I have no doubt that the vast majority of fans will look back on him with affection in the future and have an interest in where he goes and how he does.

Exactly. The manner is which he came across was certainly not what you would expect from a manager. Do you remember those comments after the 3-0 win over palace. Something along the lines of, "If I was going to leave as manager, that would be the match". Again in my opinion wrong things to say, I think this was around the same time as when the Reading position came up which left us all wondering again, is he going to be our manager. You don't need this instability.
