He his his own personal 'ceiling' when he made those comments after the play off game. He will never have a better job or opportunity to build something like he did with us. Meanwhile, we don't look back, only forward with Sir Chris.

Craig No one?
He needs a break, he is risking his reputation further with every unsuitable job he takes. Needs to find another project like Albion were when he took over in order to regain a bit of credibility. Can't see any PL club or any of the top half of the Championship willing to take the risk on a short-tempered motormouth that picks fights with chairmen and gobs off in the media anyway.
Maybe his job at the Albion was as good as it will get for him. Shame he thought he was bigger than the club.

Looking back the reason we WALKED the League 1 in 2010/11 was we had a team chock FULL of Premier QUALITY players like Barnes, Murray, Bennett plus INTERNATIONALS like Greer. Since he left us he has gone from one disaster to another and about time he looked in the mirror and saw who was at fault.

I like Gus, he's not boring like some managers. Plus he was very good for us in his tenure.
Anyone else still got their 'Hola Gus' T shirts from Withdean? Mine is still unworn!

Wherever he ends up, he'll be hard-pushed to find a more supportive chairman than Tony Bloom. Poyet's loss is Chris Hughton's gain.

Yes, quite good as I remember!

Your support is not that great
I enjoyed the ride under Gus but looking back I think I just glossed over the arrogance and self-importance and focused on the football.
He has the potential to be a really good coach but he seems to think he's a lot better than he actually is. Plus I'm not sure he's a very astute judge of players.

He now has time to brush-up on his tee-ing.

Poyet has his very distinctive style of playing that needs time to bed in at a club. He was given that time with us and it paid huge dividends, but here at Betis and before at Sunderland the owners couldn't afford to flirt with relegation whilst waiting for it to come in. Their loss.

He rented that house from the, then. Charlton chairman.
Why do you keep going on about QPR? They've appointed Ian Holloway again.

I thought that the then chairman of Charlton lived in the house next door to Gus but wouldnt argue. I think that QPR was the ideal job for him in all respects and appointing wurzel again is their loss and a mistake/ I believe he would have consolidated this season and reformed them as he did us and they would be promotion contenders next season.

Strangely, now that he is no longer our manager, I find I can. Very easily!

Which is why you posted on this thread. Just to tell us that you can ignore it.
It doesn't always matter how good or how bad you are as a Manager in football as to whether you work in a good job further down the line or not.
It depends a lot on how the break up between the club and the Manager plays out. If the Manager leaves a club and he bad mouths a previous club in public then a lot of reputable clubs won't touch you again and that limits what type of club and what type of Chairman will touch you in the future.
A decent coach will always get jobs but the ones which take you on after you have bad mouthed a previous club will be chairmen who need a quick fix and who will look at you as easily expendable. Contrast that to a Manager who says nothing negative about a club. The type of Chairmen who will take you on might be the type of people will allow you ''within reason'' to have a bit of time to work on and build a team over a 2 or 3 year period and to implement a Youth Policy structure at the club.
It's a results driven business all right but if a Chairmen allows you to invest in the Youth Structure as well as the first team then you know that you are not brought in just as a quick fix.
Gus is seen by many clubs now as a potentially quick fix and an expendable quick fix at that and if he doesn't fix things quickly he will be gone. And for that he only has himself to blame due to his self satisfying ego.
I don't know if he is a good coach or not but he doesn't strike me as the most likeable person on the planet. Nor the most honest or loyal

Frightfully sorry to intrude on your Saturday morning.
And I did not post 'just to tell you that I can ignore it'. You posted a statement ('we can't ignore him') which I considered to be bo11ocks, so I indicated that I had a different opinion to your's. I expressed my disagreement more politely the first time......................
